This week: Jess discusses the Mindful Mann Festival, which promotes good mental health and wellbeing and previews the MannKind Festival which is for those with learning and physical disabilities and their carers. 

Sam looks at a feature from this week's Examiner where Robin Bigland told us how he organised the epic Odin's Raven journey from Norway to Peel in time for the millennium Tynwald 40 in 1979 and having lunch with King Olaf of Norway.

Andy gives his preview of the Island Games before he and the team head to Gibraltar for what he insists is not a holiday.

Plus we keep the royal theme going as we hop in the TARDIS and head back to 1945 when King George VI presided over Tynwald, the first English King to do so and he and Queen Elizabeth, latterly The Queen Mother toured the island.

And as ever Katie brings up the Manx word of the week.
