    On this week’s podcast, Siobhan Cronin chats to sea swimmer Steve Redmond who was the first person to complete the Seven Oceans challenge, and just over a week ago he became the first person to swim to the Fastnet and back. Although he always praises his backroom team and family for encouraging him, there is no doubt he is one of the world’s most determined and successful sea swimmers.

    How about this for a tourist attraction?! A lazy summer’s afternoon on a lake in Chuguev, Ukraine, was disrupted by a small yet extremely noticeable military invasion!**

    **It was actually just a planned military exercise, in case you were concerned
