ABC Classic FM in Australia features Russell Torrance, originally from Scotland, who moved to Manchester in the UK, then to Perth and finally the Adelaide Hills in South Australia.  His love of music and his concerns for people to speak honestly about mental health, his views on Covid and loneness all come to the fore in this first of a 2-part series with your host Bob Mendelsohn.  You'll love Russell's manner and his concerns, his passion and his good humour-- it's all there. For his website and to listen to his morning breakfast show, check here: https://www.abc.net.au/classic  

Our former sponsor, Amanda, is no longer working as a travel agent. 

Historical markers of the week are about black people in the slave trade in 1800 and in outer space on Challenger.
