Is Rex airline wrecked?
Man rowing solo across Atlantic is surrounded by whales.
When is a yellow-tailed black cockatoo not a black cockatoo? When it's called Tweety.

We then move onto "Green There, Done That" where we talk about green issues. This week Wencee will blurt about a new soft plastics recycling plant in South Australia. And the Kegsta will tell us about King Charles greening the estate.
Then on "Fun Facts", the Kegsta will enlighten us with facts about the able-bodied Olympics in 2024. And Wencee will show us some facts about the Paralympics 2024.
