Mario and Fafa on the famous pan-applicable monomyth by American mythologist Joseph Campbell which explains, among other things, why Happy Gilmore was a better movie than Jack and Jill.

But you knew that.

Have a look at what children in Tullamore did to raise money for their arts centre! 74,274 coins collected raising approx €3,750. They set a new world record for the largest coin mosaic.

The final mosaic of an oak tree measured 30 square metres, beating the previous 26 square metre record set in Estonia.

Music: M83 – Steve McQueen

A good friend of mine Kevin Downey from Belfast is cycling around the world for the charity Depaul. He is nearly 1 year in and is currently tackling the harsh Alaskan terrain. He is on an amazing adventure and for such a worthwhile cause.

He began his journey from South East London on a fully laden bike with only his guitar for company. The ongoing cycle will see him circumnavigate the globe, tackling some of the harshest climates on the toughest of terrain. Living on a shoestring, it will be the generosity of locals and calculated risks that will see back in his hometown of Belfast in time for Christmas 2014.

Whilst he is on the move, you can also enjoy his new EP ‘Across the Border’. In return, he asks visitors to make a small donation online to his chosen charity Depaul.
