The Spanish government has approved a draft law to ban smoking and vaping on bar and restaurant terraces. The new law would also prohibit minors from using vapes and stop sale of single-use electronic cigarettes. We get reaction to this with Chris Macey, The Irish Heart Foundation's Director of Advocacy.
Forget everything you thought you knew about Orlando's food scene. In this deliciously packed episode, we're diving headfirst into one of America's most surprising culinary hotspots, Orlando. The Theme Park Capital of the World is now earning serious foodie cred, with Michelin-starred restaurants, buzzing food halls, breweries and creative eats in bougie neighbourhoods. Join hungry presenter Portia Jones and Producer Luke Jones as they eat their way through Orlando's tastiest neighbourhoods, from hip Audubon Park to buzzy Ivanhoe Village, exploring street food stalls, Michelin-recommended restaurants, and indie cafés to uncover the places locals really rate. From pizzas, Instagram-worthy cookies and burritos the size of your head to wildly inventive fine dining and world-class cocktails, this episode is your ultimate insider's guide to Orlando's must-try foodie spots. We also meet chefs, bartenders, food writers, and vendors who are shaking up the scene and creating a stir. Tune in for tips on the best places to eat in Orlando, what to order, and why Orlando might just be the best food city you're not talking about yet. We'll also reveal the best places to stay if food is at the heart of your trip, from luxe options like the Lake Nona Wave Hotel and the Four Seasons, to more affordable, self-catering stays like The Terraces at The Grove Resort, where you can whip up your own feast with fresh finds from the local farmers' market. This isn't just a food episode; it's a full-on flavour roadmap through a city that's rewriting the script for what American dining can be. From global cuisines and rooftop views to biscuits, burritos, and Bib Gourmands, Orlando has so much to offer beyond the incredible theme parks.

We hiked through the ancient rice terraces of Banaue, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that's been dubbed the 8th Wonder of the World. Carved into the mountains of Banaue on the main island of Luzon, Philippines, these 2000 year old rice terraces are well worth the 10 hour night bus north of Manila. As predicted, Adam falls victim to heatstroke, but who's to blame? Was it the midday sun? Was it the questionable hiking gear? Or was it the work of the Engkanto?Adam also flirts with the idea of changing career, as he tells the story of him being approached by a model scout whilst showering; a meeting that was "unprofessional at best."We'd love to hear from you!

Dante and Virgil encounter the awaited angel as they begin their ascent to the third terrace of Purgatory proper.They hear two snippets of song. They find the climb easier.
