Colum Arbuckle’s guests are Jane Talbot and Roger Gregg. Jane settled in the north-west after she met her Ballymoney-born husband on a blind date at the City Of Derry Airport. Now in her fifties, she has embarked on a year of intense physical challenges she calls 'Old Dog, New Tricks.'

Roger, who is from Ohio, settled in Cork in the late 1970s when he found out that he could save a few dollars by completing his education there. He is now an award-winning writer, sound effects creator and performer.

Also on the programme, Ken McCormick visits a very special well where you just might be able to cure a wart. And we travel back to April 1961, when Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to journey into outer space.
