Keeping happy healthy feet is very important for those who are walking or running long distances. We chat to Alastair Dall of Sport Podiatry Scotland to find out what we can do to keep our feet in good condition.

With the rise in businesses allowing pets in the workplace, we chat to Linda MacDonald of the Canine Concern Scotland Trust to find out more about therapy pets and how they are used in a variety of environments.

With tick season upon us, it's important to know how we can avoid being bitten and what to do if we are. Alison chats to Neil Reid of Mountaineering Scotland about what we should do and how to keep our furry friends safe too.
