Side Hustles and DNA

BBC Radio Ulster - The Vinny Hurrell Show, Side Hustles and DNA

Everybody needs a side hustle - what's yours? And DIY DNA Kits that don't end well.

Jobs for life are gone so we all need a side hustle to survive - do you have one? And the DNA kits are a bit of fun aren't they or could they uncover some dark secrets?

With jobs for life a thing of the past Vinny and his guests Sara Cook and Gerry Miller, discuss the importance of having a side hustle - that hobby that brings in a bit of extra cash to help through the hard times. 

They also discuss the Christmas present that could break up your family. Home DNA testing kits seem like a bit of fun - are you part Viking? But what if they uncover a family secret that someone was hoping to take to the grave?

And our mini-series, What I Wish I'd Known When I was 25 continues. Tonight's episode shows that DNA kits do sometimes have a happy ending as Oliver Bonnes tells us how he used one to track down his birth family, seventy years after being adopted.
