Welcome to Jetlagged. When we talk about travel, we often talk about where we went, or what we did, but we don't always get into how travel can change our lives by giving us new perspectives and ideas – or greater clarity on our own individual challenges. It's part of the larger question of what happens when we take ourselves out of our comfort zone. In the fogginess brought on by being jetlagged, what do we discover about ourselves and the world around us? Katt Cullen, the bold, brilliant and beautiful director of World Radio Switzerland takes us through what travel has meant for her life - from South Africa to Switzerland via Thailand - and how it all started with a dangly tooth. She shares with us how traveling taught her the power of vulnerability and the ability to live in ambiguity. Have a listen.

Mon 5 October 2020. Today Daniel Johnson talks to Katt Cullen on the Mid Morning Mix to explain the following events taking place this week at the United Nations. 1: News: Sudan and South Sudan’s “double-whammy” humanitarian disaster caused by torrential rains and galloping inflation. Alerts from UN humanitarians OCHA and World Food Programme. We hear from Matthew Hollingworth, WFP Country Director in South Sudan “We’ve been seeing natural disasters, we’ve been seeing conflicts displacing people; that is the situation we’re in right now. We have yet to get data back to confirm how bad it will be, but I think we all need to prepare ourselves that we must do everything in our power to avoid famine and to avoid the levels of hunger – the catastrophic hunger – that we’ve seen sadly in the past in this country.” 2: CINE-ONU – Wake up on Mars - Wednesday 7 October at 5 p.m. (ECT) (virtual event, free movie to watch online + virtual debate) Plot summary: In Sweden, a family from Kosovo faces the rejection of their asylum application.

The kids have become young adults. They've flown "the nest". They've tasted freedom and enjoyed living away from Mom and Dad Because of the pandemic, young adults are seeing a great deal of unemployment or cancelled internships, and some of these young adults are returning home to their parents and family home. Psychologist Dr Rebecca Weber explains how the whole family can set expectations and navigate living together as adults. In this special LIVE episode of Kids In Mind, Dr Rebecca Weber joins Katt Cullen on the Mid Morning Mix on WRS.

La Garenne is a wildlife rescue centre in Vaud. The animals at the park can all be found in Switzerland and many of the animals came to them as orphans or were wounded. Where possible, they will always release a recovered animal. La Garenne also takes part in several national and international reintroduction programmes of threatened species such as the bearded vulture and the cinereous vulture. Out of the 26 Bearded Vultures born at La Garenne, 13 participated in the breeding programme in animal parks, and 13 were released. Some of them formed new couples in the wild. Lin Schelling, Assistant to the Director of La Garenne, offered to tell Katt Cullen more about it... If you have found a wild animal that you believe to be wounded, you can contact La Garenne to ask for advice, or visit their webpage on this subject. As Lin Schelling explains to Katt, smaller animals may simply have wondered away from their parents so it's best not to assume they're lost or orphaned straight away.
Garden Doctor Hester Macdonald steps into the studio with Katt Cullen to run through all of your garden questions. Sonia was looking at how to optimise her chilli crop. She planted them during lockdown and really wants them to thrive. (1 min 30) Rachel (4min 32) is obsessed with coriander, a.k.a. cilantro, and wants to keep her plants alive! The sad truth though - it's not you, it's them, but Hester can definitely help them last longer, at least. Today we also had a couple of questions about cherry trees. Glyn's tree appears to be leaking (9min 48) and Diane just wants her tree to produce some fruit (14min 16). The first step is to determine whether it's an ornamental cherry tree, because those will never produce fruit. Otherwise, there are lots of factors. We'll run through a few that might help. . Lastly Les has kittens! He's wondering if there's a way to stop the other farm cats coming into his garden, whilst not making it unpleasant for his new fur-balls. (21min 42) Hester and Katt take a look at some humane and gentle ways to try to divert cats away from your outdoor space. Happy Gardening !

The Geneva English Drama Society perform Gatsby! 25 - 29 February 2020 at the Théâtre Pitoëff in Geneva. Directed by Christina Vasala Kokkinaki, the show brings glamour, passion, and the decadent excess of the Jazz Age to life in this adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel. Narrated by Nick Carraway, an aspiring banker who is dazzled by the glamorous upper-class crowd of Long Island in the 1920s, this is the tale of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby, who throws lavish parties in the hope of attracting the attention of his one love: the elusive Daisy, married to the brutish Tom Buchanan. Daire O'Doherty, Genna Ingold and Dmitry Borisov, who play Gatsby, Daisy and Nick respectively, join Katt Cullen in the WRS studios on the Mid Morning Mix.
