Jive Champions, Only Slaggin and Wildlife

Available for 29 days

Emmy winning wildlife cinematographer Colin Stafford Johnson drops into the studio to talk about his passion that has taken him across the globe, from tracking jaguars in the Amazon and tigers in India to capturing birds of paradise in New Guinea. His extraordinary career includes work on landmark BBC and RTÉ series such as ‘Planet Earth’ and ‘Wild Ireland’. With the sun shining, John heads outdoors to meet Only Slaggin’s Jim Moore, firing up the BBQ to learn the tips, tricks and techniques that earned Jim millions of followers online and a Sunday Times bestselling cookbook. We also hear from award winning podcast maker Jordan Dunbar, originally from Northern Ireland, about his new BBC TV and podcast documentary ‘What Happened at Chernobyl’. He examines the events that led to the world's worst nuclear accident and what we can learn from it on the fortieth anniversary. Former Great Blasket Island caretaker Lesley Bond joins us to share what it’s really like to spend six months living on a remote, uninhabited Irish island with no electricity and none of the usual modern comforts. Sam Hunter and Clara Mullan chat about their vibrant reimagining of Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’, this time with a full on 1980's twist. Also in studio are the newly crowned All Ireland Jiving Champions, Molly Quinn from Tyrone and Des O’Hare from Armagh. And in the kitchen Paula serves up tostadas with grilled asparagus, wild garlic mole and feta.
