In this podcast we interview Irish 100 metre Hurdler Sarah Lavin. Sarah is a European junior silver medallist and in 2020 had one of her best years on the track. Sarah ran under 13:2 seconds consistently before breaking the magic mark of under 13 seconds in Madrid with a run of 12.95. This saw Sarah join Derval O’Rourke as the only Irish women to break 13 seconds in history. In the summer of 2020 she achieved her dreams by representing Ireland at the 2020 Olympic Summer Games. We really hope you enjoy our interview with this remarkable athlete.

In this podcast (recorded safely from our homes) we discuss the merits of star signs in 2021. Is there any science behind astrology and where did it all begin? Does astrology have any relevance in our lives or is it all just one big myth? Should we let star signs dictate who we associate with in our day to day life? Here is what we think!

In this episode we examine fears and phobias.  We explore our own fears (including muffins) and consider if young people today inherit fears from their parents.  Enjoy!
