There's a Nintendo Switch video game doing the rounds now that is basically Collie's life in digital: Animal Crossing.

Podcaster and writer Rosemary Mac Cabe and producer Liam Geraghty are both big fans of the game, and they take us to their digital islands and show us around.

Also: we meet an Animal Crossing character who is a REAL digital version of COLLIE ENNIS!!!

This is fun!

Isn't nature sounding amazing at the moment? Now that many of us are in lockdown, and there are fewer noisy machines on the road or in the air, we can actually hear nature more clearly than ever.

Collie and Colette listen in to the nature sounds collected and sent in by listeners from around the world, and it's a treat.

Also, if you can spare the price of a cup of coffee, the folks at My Lovely Horse Rescue in Ireland would be delighted for any support you can give them. The do amazing work.
