It's Monday! Jane and Fi are casting looks of reverie, and lucky for you, we've got it all on camera: https://www.youtube.com/@OffAirWithJaneAndF

Some recommendations from today's episode: the film 'My Favourite Cake', and the TV shows 'Peelers: The PSNI for Real' and 'Rooster'.

If you've inhaled all this week's episodes of Off Air (rightfully so) and you're looking for something else to get your ears around, how about some true crime from our sister podcast, The Story?

Introducing Ghost Mountain, a new three-part series from The Story.

Seventy-one-year-old British tourist Lorna McSorley went out for a walk near South Africa's Ghost Mountain. She never returned. 

In the first part of this three-part investigation, we travel to the remote, superstitious heart of KwaZulu-Natal to retrace Lorna’s final steps. As the police search hits a dead end, bizarre rumours begin to emerge - including talk of witchcraft and an illicit trade in body parts.

Host: Jane Flanagan.

Producer: Harry Stott.

Executive Producers: Taryn Siegel and Kate Lamble.
