Catch up with Sandy and Muddy this Thursday morning as they bring another rifting program full of mirth and mayhem 😁. We leave Earth’s atmosphere to see what James Webb Observatory can see and it’s amazing!!! Then over to Ukraine to discover what scientists are doing to preserve the knowledge they have acquired over many years in the face of war and how bats have become the centre of a propaganda campaign. Muddy may have reviewed a book a little while ago… but now he’s actually finished and what a read!!! Lots of music and no weather report 😎.

Listen in at 9am Thursday as our 2 intrepid astronauts crash into the dark side of the moon, dropping in on the way home at the ISS for repairs, hoping that it's open for business. Do you remember Harold Salisbury and why did he get the sack? We pull apart a 3D printed surf board to see what's inside and we have a look at the Ocean Film Festival. Lots of music and maybe even a giggle or two.
