Thanks for tuning in to the Happy Hour, your show about all things sight loss, wellbeing and keeping happy!
This week, your hosts Holly and Paulina bring you their favourite tracks and some special guests to chat all about the healing power of art.
Plus of course, lots of random chat all about summer, cats, whistling ice cream vans, and an airport escape artist?
