Impressive,you can clearly multitask if you can listen and workout at the same time , the presenters make every word count, I find that if my attention strays for even a few minutes I need to rewind or I've lost the thread of a particular line of conversation.

Near Perth (not in Perth)

Snowball Oranges. Plus Thistle Soup. Non fiction written by a Scottish farmer who moved his family from Scotland to a Spanish island for in part, better weather. When they got there, the orange grove which came with their property, was covered in snow! Challenging, hilarious and heartbreaking warming times lay ahead in their new world.
