What's been happening up North? Amy and Ian find out. Top stories this week include an animal rescue centre's plans to expand being blocked by a stately-home owner, and some gas is being trapped in rocks near Cumbria (we think).

Featuring guest correspondent, comedian Sofie Hagen.

Sofie's book 'Will I Ever Have Sex Again?' is out 23 May 2024 and is available to pre-order now at sofiehagen.com. Sofie's podcast Help Hole is available wherever you get your podcasts.
