Saturday Magazine - 06/11/2010
On this weeks Saturday Magazine John Toal talks to the man who’s challenging our perceptions of dealing with men’s issues, Men to Men Network counsellor Hayden Foster. Would you hug a stranger? John ask why some people sign up for the growing trend of ‘Cuddle Clubs’. It’s been 35 years since Tom and Barbara Good dropped out of the rat race and into The Good Life but it couldn’t be more current. Sue Perkins and Giles Coren have spent a summer finding out if that dream could be a reality. They tell John about their summer of self sufficiency. Have you ever owned a pair of Doc Martens? It’s the 50th Anniversary of the iconic footwear. John chats to former owner of local ‘Doc Shop’ to discover the journey these boots have made from their beginnings in the 60’s. And Paula Mc Intyre’s making a tasty twist on an Irish classic with her Bacon, Leek and Potato Soup. All this and more on the Saturday Magazine programme.
