<\/p>\n\nWe had the great sauce debate on Late Lunch this afternoon - do you dip or do you smother?<\/p>\n\n
Naturally this led on to all sorts of comments about the food people have sauce with...and it seems we have some listeners who are partial to salad cream sandwiches and tomato ketchup with baked beans. Expect more food related questions as the week goes on.<\/p>\n\n
Our Charity of the Week <\/strong> is Arthritis Care Ellan Vannin<\/a> Thousands of people and their families on the Island are affected in various ways by arthritis, and this charity offers high quality information and support . Over the next few days we will be hearing more about them, and also giving you the chance to be involved in their relaunch and win some amazing prizes.<\/p>\n\n When it came to the Juke Box <\/strong>today, Beth and Ben pitted their choices against each other, with Ben's retro Mantronix winning out. (Beth was fine about that obviously...)<\/p>\n\n You can listen back to the show for the next week by clicking here<\/a>. <\/p>","image":"https:\/\/mm.aiircdn.com\/147\/5d6d20d4773ab.jpg","author":{"name":"Beth Espey"},"_mobile_inapp_url":"https:\/\/www.manxradio.com\/_app_pages\/stations\/78\/blogs\/posts\/41984"},{"id":"147-999000-5d6930b017bb6","url":"https:\/\/www.manxradio.com\/on-air\/blogs\/late-lunch\/post\/late-lunch-listen-again-john-bowker-dave-mclean-mike-davis-and-bod\/","title":"Late Lunch listen again: John Bowker, Dave McLean, Mike Davis and Bod!","date_published":"2019-08-30T14:20:35+00:00","summary":"Update on round-Island swim attempt, multiple drummers launch OIOW and Name That 'Toon gets Howard singing","content_html":" We had an update from Mike Davis<\/strong>, who is attempting to swim around the Isle of Man<\/strong>. He set out 15 days ago, has contended with rough seas, stinging jelly fish and inquisitive seals as he swam down the east coast of the Island from the north and round the Sound. He is still confident at this stage of completing his challenge to swim right the way around the coast with another four swims. Mike is raising funds for the Manx Wildlife Trust and Blue Marine Foundation. You can sponsor Mike in his fundraising efforts by visiting www.justgiving.com\/teams\/IsleofManSwim<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Also today, we celebrated John Peel with the Jukebox<\/strong>. The legendary broadcaster and TV presenter was born On This Day in 1939, so we gave you the choice of two of Peel's legacy artists - Pulp 'Do You Remember the First Time' and, of course, Undertones with Teenage Kicks<\/strong>, which Peel described as 'the perfect song'. Perhaps unsurprisingly the latter won!<\/p>\n\n And Howard shared his experience of attending yesterday's launch of the Our Island Our World<\/strong> competition, which kicked off in fine style with a tribal drumming workshop on Tynwald Hill, run by drum guru John Bowker. <\/strong>Howard went along to have a bash - quite literally - and also chatted with festival organizer Dave McLean. The second Our Island, Our World festival takes place around Peel on Friday 30th and Saturday 31st September . The family day takes place tomorrow in the Corrin Hall and around the Cathedral grounds with all manner of activities and food for all the family . . its free and won't be weather affected!

Love it or hate it, the era defining record was the sound of a generation - so we pitted Oasis against Oasis in the Jukebox<\/strong>, giving you the choice of 'Live Forever' or 'Cigarettes and Alcohol',<\/strong> with the former winning out, which was perhaps a knee jerk reaction to Ricky's topic?! ;-)<\/p>\n\n If you missed any part of today's show you can listen again at this link<\/a> for the next 7 days. <\/p>","image":"https:\/\/mm.aiircdn.com\/147\/5d67e3cd96af5.jpg","author":{"name":"Christy DeHaven"},"_mobile_inapp_url":"https:\/\/www.manxradio.com\/_app_pages\/stations\/78\/blogs\/posts\/41982"},{"id":"147-999000-5d669d3ee2d33","url":"https:\/\/www.manxradio.com\/on-air\/blogs\/late-lunch\/post\/late-lunch-listen-again-mike-kewley14\/","title":"Late Lunch listen again: Mike Kewley","date_published":"2019-08-28T15:27:17+00:00","summary":"Continuing the theme of children and mindfulness; also, what is a 'quenelle' (and why should we care?!)","content_html":" He continued the theme of children and mindfulness, looking ahead in particular to schools starting back next week and the fact that some children (and parents!) may be feeling anxious about it. <\/p>\n\n In today's podcast, he took Howard through an exploration of 'Balloon Breathing'<\/a> - something you can try along with your children to encourage and help them to calm down at times they may be struggling. You can find, download and subscribe to the podcast here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n Also today, Howard spoke to Psycholinguist and Associate Professor at Reading University Dr Sylvia Jaworska,<\/strong> who told him how the wording on menus can be very influential on what we choose to eat. Would you know what a 'quenelle' or 'ballotine' is?<\/strong> And how much do you think the description of food on a menu affects what you decide to eat - and even your perception of the food itself?<\/p>\n\n Our Soul Starter <\/strong>was the fabulous Reet Petite by Jackie Wilson, and our Jukebox <\/strong>celebrated the birthday of Florence Welch<\/strong>, aka Florence and the Machine, who is 33 today.

Howard and Christy started the programme today with a Soul Starter<\/strong> from the Detroit Spinners<\/strong>, continuing the Motown theme, as the song was released on the Motown VIP Label in 1970, co-written and produced by Stevie Wonder;<\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/mm.aiircdn.com\/147\/5d67e3cd96af5.jpg\")
On the programme today, Howard caught up with Royal Family star and British TV treasure Ricky Tomlinson<\/strong>, who has joined forces with the Co-Op to look into alternative, eco-friendly options for funerals and coffins in the future. Ricky admitted that although he'd like a traditional service, he'd happily have his remains rooted to the ground rather remaining on the telly (in an urn), as he'd like the idea of being turned into a tree after he's gone... <\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/mm.aiircdn.com\/147\/5d66900ce963f.jpg\")
Howard and Christy were joined once again by Mike Kewley<\/strong> from My Free Mind<\/a>, for another spot of mid-week mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
