Brendan's Bit: Nessie Returns, Corpse Flowers Stink & Peacocks Invade

About this episode

Rebecca and Brendan discuss spending habits, celebrity sightings, and various nature-related topics.

Rebecca and Brendan kick off with a chat about why nearly 9 in 10 of us would rather spend money on experiences than stuff! Then it’s confirmed: Brad Pitt is actually in Ireland, spotted from Dalkey to Cork and now County Laois — so if you see him, you’re not hallucinating. Plus Brendan’s Bit: corpse flowers at Kew Gardens, Nessie sightings, and an Italian town at breaking point over noisy, messy peacocks.
