I Survived A Plane Crash

Perry Burns was just 13 when his once-in-a-lifetime trip on an RAF plane ended in a devastating crash. It left him with burns over nearly half his body. In this gripping conversation with Olly, Perry relives the moment he thought he’d died; the fireball he escaped; and the chain of miracles that saved his life... He shares the pain of recovery, the power of one relentless teacher, and how love helped him rebuild. —----------------------- Meanwhile, in The Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart is on a mission to Make Running Fun.  While apps like VoiceMap offer self-guided audio tours you can create (and sell!), and GoodGym adds community purpose to your jog, his true champion is Zombies, Run!, a thrilling, GPS-triggered story game where undead hordes chase you into cardio greatness... and, it seems, makes Olly Mann sweat buckets around the Regent’s Park Running Track. —----------------------- Elsewhere, Alix Fox - fresh from National AIDS Trust fundraiser Drag Raise - is back to answer listener’s sex and relationships questions in The Foxhole. This month:  What actually happens at sex-themed swingers holiday resorts, like Hedonism in Jamaica, and what should prospective travellers bring with them to the hotel?  With the help of Sex Advice for Seniors’ Suzanne Noble, Alix reveals all…  —----------------------- Finally, our record of the month is the folktastic ‘Cow Song’ from The New Eves 🐄.  Check it out on our Spotify playlist now!
