Given we're all in a situation we never wanted to be in with the return to level 5, all we can do is look after ourselves and others in our community.

Travel bloggers and animal welfare activists Fiona Keaveny and Keith Ward had planned to travel to Canada this year, but their focus is firmly closer to home now.

They joined Pamela Joyce on Dermot and Dave to explain how their Instagram has seen them sorting out exercise bikes and celebrating massive birthdays with people in their local area.

We've all been getting out and about in nature more than ever before this year but for Dara McAnulty, nature has been his life long passion.

At the age of 12, he started a blog and now, at the age of just 16, the Co Down teenager has released a massive best-selling book.

Dara's debut 'Diary of a Young Naturalist' is currently in its third print run, the first 5000 copies sold before Amazon could even put on an order to carry it on their website, there's been thousands more copies sold since. He's also just been nominated for three An Post Irish Book Awards including 'Non-Fiction Book of the Year' and 'Newcomer of the Year'.

Speaking to Pamela Joyce on Dermot and Dave, Dara explained where his love of nature came from and how it has helped him overcome mental health difficulties.

It's the spookiest week of the year and while Halloween might look a little different this year, one thing will always remain and that is scary movies.

But what ones are a must-watch? And what ones can you give a miss? Gordon Hayden from the Scared Sh!tless podcast joined Pamela Joyce with his hits and misses and reveals why one Friends star defo isn't a fan of leprechauns.

If turning 50 and a global pandemic aren't enough to spur you into action to follow your dreams, what else will?

Rose Jones will be celebrating the milestone birthday and to celebrate, herself and her husband Colin are planning the trip of a lifetime across Europe in a campervan. After getting the time off work, and finding a bus to travel in, Rose and Colin have come up with a genius way of raising the funds for their trip.

They're going to raffle their house. And their beloved car.

For just €5, you can enter the draw to win their gaff and Rose joined Dermot and Dave to explain what you could be getting your hands on.

Dermot & Dave's 'Ah Sure Lookit Wasn't That It' podcast is the perfect thing to keep you company over the weekend, whether you're out and about in the car, getting stuck into jobs at home or if you need to stick some earphones in for an hour to drown out the noise of your kids for some well deserved 'me time' (no judgement here!)

Jam-packed full of all the bits you may have missed the Ah Sure Lookit Wasn't That It podcast is your one-stop shop for all things Dermot & Dave. 

This week, Noni told us her annual spooky Halloween tale (and it was her best yet), Dave helped Manchester United a massive game just by having a shower and we all went nuts for Maria's laugh.

We learnt how astronauts don't get lonely in space, why Klopp could be the soundest man in Ireland and met the Waterford couple raffling off their house.

And you'll hear a snippet from our chat with Ireland's Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan on what he'd most like to do when things return to some form of normality.

Pole fitness is one of those things that looks easy until you're clinging desperately to a metal pole and wondering if you were born without abdominal muscles.

While often thought of as just something for a late night club, hopping up on a pole requires incredible levels of strength and the sort of co-ordination most people can only dream of.

But where do you start learning, and how much pain will you be in once you get going? Terri Fierce is a pole fitness instructor and she joined Dermot and Dave for an Ask Me Anything special.

It's probably one of the biggest jobs in the country in the history of the State. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tony Holohan has been advising the Government, and the nation, on our response to the Covid-19 pandemic since the news of a 'mystery virus' broke at the start of the year and headed the team which recommended our recent return to level 5 restrictions.

It's been a difficult few months for the country, and in particular, the return to level 5 has been heartbreaking for thousands of people who find themselves out of work or isolated from loved ones.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Ireland's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tony Holohan explained why Ireland is under one of the strictest lockdowns in Europe, what we can all do to change the course of the virus and whether or not he can forsee us having a 'normal' Christmas.

On a personal level, the CMO also revealed how he's most looking forward to watching a GAA match with a pint and spending time with his family whenever things might return to normal.

Dave's World Music Facts was such a success that even Dermot thought it was interesting.

So it made total sense that it'd make a comeback.

From what the snake from Britney's iconic VMA performance did to her skin...

To what the lyrics to the Backstreet Boys biggest song could have been...Dave's World Music Facts had it all.
