    This week we start with Wordle - all you need to know about it without having to look it up or ask someone - or even play it. It's actually a love story!

    Then Nic tells us a little about Emily in Paris and lots about Netflix's Cheer which has been getting a lot of attention from the media and not all good.

    We have no fox this week to mark the continued threat of gender-violence women experience every day. We talk this through.

    The follow this week is a real spirit lifter @allonboard - philosophy to live your day by.

    Finally there's news about Katy Perry - eeek I hear you road. And Daniel Radcliff takes on the role of Weird Al Yankovic in the upcoming biopic. Mad stuff.

    Taim ar ais! Yay! It's been waaaay too long.

    This week we tell you all about the covid we got. Lol. Nah just kidding we just talk a little about it and then it's way more interesting after that.

    First up - No Spend January - as fun as it sounds. Then - soooo much TV - with particular focus on Dope Sick. Then we celebrate the absolute legend Betty White, who would've been 100 this week had she lived 17 more days - hear some really interesting stuff about her amazing life.  A total pioneer.

    Then Nicola talks to us about Fitness + - just what we need for smashing the January fitness buzz. We finish up this week with a great recommendation for Kae Tempest's 'More Pressure' a great new tune of their forthcoming album.

    It's great to be back!

    This week we give you tips on things to do at Christmas that don't involve Christmas - honestly, it's a revelation and we're sure you'll find one of these things a greater alternative over the next few weeks. TV chat is extensive this week - we talk about the TV event of the year, supposedly, And Just Like That as well as others including fantasy drama Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime.

    Our fox of the week is Katie Taylor - sporting legend. On our internet receommends this week we talk Jamie Oliver cookery lessons - and how you can get involved. Music news is a little sad as we talk about Michael Newsmith, one of the Monkees, who passed away this week as well as an update on what supports are being put in place for the live events sector in Ireland during this latest raft of restrictions.

    After an unexpected week away we are back and firing on all cylinders (well as much as you can be the last week of November :)).

    Up first on this week's show is the gender pay gap - yes folks, it's not going away fast enough. Then we hear about Band of Brothers, if you don't know what this is you HAVE GOT to listen. Honestly, you'll thank us later.

    Our Fox of the Week this week is the wonderful elfin spirit that is Bjork! Nicola has a podcast tip this week - all about life in prison, called Ear Hustle.

    We finish off this week with a chat about Adele influencing Spotify and some rather bad taste from the Queen of Pop herself Madgeonna.

    Another week another Fox Force Five podcast! Hooray.

    We're a bit cheerier than last week you'll be glad to know. We start with news of pandemic purchases gone bad - what we spent our money on that was, well, a waste.

    Nicola's TV recommend this week is Netflix's Catching Killers.  We also wonder why it's so difficult to finish box sets of the BEST TV series.

    Our Fox of the Week is male and probably the youngest yet to feature - Marcus Rashford, striker but most importantly, amazing human being.
    Our recommended follow this week is for @historymuppet for some sweet, wholesome, nostalgic content - all muppet/Sesame Street related.

    Finally, music this news takes a look at ABBA's new album Voyage. You're gonna love it!

    Hideliho neighbours! We are talking saving the planet first thing today - COP26 is taking place and world leaders and environmental activists have all descended to work towards reducing global warming. Here about what's happening at the conference.

    Nicola talks us through Dune and how spectacular it is and Kelly goes lowest common denominator with Brassic.

    For the first time Fox of the Week is actually 'Foxes of the Week' when we celebrate 100 years since Frances Kyle and Averil Deverell were first called to the bar - the first women to do so in both Britain and Ireland.

    Nic's follows continue the theme of being environmentally conscious with some serious and some fun suggestions.

    And finally - Mariah Carey is smashing pumpkins and heralding Christmas. We say bring it on Mariah!

    Listeners, all we want for Christmas is you!
