Walking and cycling charity, Sustrans Scotland, is encouraging people to leave the car behind and reimagine their commute this March by joining the Scottish Workplace Journey Challenge. We hear from those behind the scheme, and producer Joel tries to persuade some more people to get involved! 

Richard Smith is about to embark on an arctic expedition with a difference, retracing a route last taken in the 1800s. He chats to Pennie about why he’s doing it. 

Glenrothes may not be the first place that springs to mind when you think of art, but over the next few days a life size hippo statue will be taking pride of place just outside the town centre. We find out more from the proud blacksmith artist Rory Thomas.
