Football Correspondent Sally Freedman joins Katt Cullen on The Breakfast Show with the latest from the Women’s Euro 2025.

Every team has now played at least once, Switzerland is on the brink of the next round, and Norway is the first to secure a quarter-final spot. Plus, why one group’s been dubbed the “group of death.”

For more than a century, the Swiss National Library has had a statutory mandate for collecting Swiss publications so that they can be available to be read and studied by future generations. But what happens to electronic information? For some time now the National Library, together with Swiss cantonal and special libraries, has begun to electronically document websites over the years and decades.

E-Helvetica Web Archives harvests snapshots of Switzerland's important websites in order to preserve them and make them available in the future. They even feature archives for the WRS website. 

They often have particular features, such as recent Eurovision Song Contest. 

Barbara Signori explains on the WRS Breakfast Show... 

The Geneva Gospel Choir are inviting you to sing with them! Over the course of the next few days, they'll be hosting workshops ahead of what Maestro Nehemiah H. Brown describes as a "miracle" performance this Sunday 6 July. As enthusiastic participant Gib Bulloch attests, you do not need to have any religious affiliation, nor regard yourself as a singer in order to participate. 

Nehemiah and Gib join Katt Cullen on the WRS Breakfast Show.

The schedule for the weekend is as follows:

Friday, 4 July 2025, 6-9 pm - Rehearsal at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Rue de Monthoux 3, Geneva

Saturday, 5 July, 9am-5pm -  Rehearsal at Holy Trinity Church, Rue du Mont-Blanc 14bis, 1201 Geneva

Sunday, 6 July, 2-5pm - Rehearsal at AMR, Rue des Alpes 10, 1201 Geneva (after a 10:30am church service at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church)

Sunday 6 July, 7pm - GOSPEL CONCERT at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Rue de Monthoux 3, Geneva

CHF 100.- participation in all workshops led by Nehemiah H. Brown over the weekend (or CHF 50.- for students). 

The concert is free of charge with a collection for any contributions.

Stay tuned until the end… we couldn’t resist a little Rihanna.

In this episode, Katt Cullen chats with Tamara from Kids-Zone.ch about the best places to keep cool with kids around Geneva this summer.

From floating pools at Les Bains du Jet d’Eau and shady paddling spots like Bois de la Bâtie, to splash zones in Onex, Carouge, and Place des Nations - there’s plenty of family-friendly fun to beat the heat.

WRS' Katt Cullen sits down with Damien O'Brien, Founder of The Coffee Foundation - a unique brand that uses coffee as a "Trojan horse" to open up conversations around mental health. This week they'll be at World of Coffee in Palexpo, breaking the stigma around mental health, one conversation over a cup of coffee at a time. 

Since their last appearance on the Breakfast Show in 2024, the Foundation has made huge strides, raising vital funds for local suicide prevention and mental health support charities.

Did you know? Suicide is one of the leading causes of death globally, with over 700,000 people dying by suicide every year (WHO). In many countries, it's the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds. Despite its prevalence, stigma still prevents many from seeking help.

That’s where The Coffee Foundation steps in - not to replace professional care, but to help people take that crucial first step: talking and listening to each other. Whether you're struggling yourself or worried about someone else, they offer accessible, thoughtful resources that guide you through how, when, and why to open up.

So, if you can spare the time - take five, grab a coffee, have a chat, and help break the silence around mental health.
