This week Peter and Russell take a light hearted journey of the English language, more specifically the origins of some of our most popular sayings. Ever wonder where a particular saying comes from? Who was the first to use it? What did it originally mean? We may just have all the answers for you on the show. Sit back and laugh with us (or most likely at us) as we reveal where some of our most popular sayings come from.
In our third and final week looking at great unsolved mysteries Peter and Russell visit the Antikythera Mechanism. This complex analogue computer could predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance. Then off to Peru and the mystery of the Nazca Lines. Why would people carve 70 different images into the Earth? Was this a way to communicate? Who would have done it? Join us as we talk about another two great mysteries.
The Eurovision Song Contest is well underway for 2021 and Peter and Russell are reviewing the performances, playing various entries and making some predictions. We have seen most of the dress rehearsals, we've read the reviews, we've picked our favourites and we know which countries have made it into the Grand Final. We will also cover some more fun facts, play some previous winners and talk about how COVID has changed the Eurovision rules. So turn on your wind and smoke machines, break out the Swedish Meatballs and spin those disco balls for the musical extravaganza that awaits. Let the Sound Bites Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest review begin!
