Nic's been watching the new season of Drive to Survive and we talk The Last of Us a lil too.

Our Fox of the Week is Irish author and trailblazer Edna O'Brien.

This week we start with talking about Jacinda Ardern and burnout - what a great leader she has been and even greater for knowing when to give yourself and break and being honest about that.

TV this week is The Last of Us - dystopian future based on a computer game - so far so good - Kelly gives a reference to Happy Valley because, let's face it, it's the best programme on TV at the minute.

Nicola's follow this week is for @theirishfor on Twitter, a nice lil account.

Finally, we talk about Dolly Parton's new 'rock' album which seems to be full of ever 'rock' song ever and ever rock star still living - think Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks.
