Sue Style, Rob Stuart

It's spring! And with it, the ground is covered in Bärlauch, or wild garlic. Wild garlic has always been associated with bears, as witnessed by its Latin, German and French names (Allium ursinum, Bärlauch and ail des ours, respectively). Seems that these hibernating animals are extremely partial to this garlicky member of the allium family, which emerges conveniently from its winter slumbers just as the bears are coming out of theirs.

Sue Style gives Andrew the low-down on where to find it and what to do with it. Try out her delicious Spring Green Soup with Wild Garlic!

Our film expert Rob Stuart talked to Ciaran about the Cannes Film Festival as well as the Stadtkino,  which is showing a series of films by Bernardo Bertolucci - director of the (in)famous Last Tango in Paris. Rob and Ciaran also discussed Tom Cruise in Oblivion, Russell Crowe in Broken City, Steven Soderbergh's Side Effects, Guillermo del Toro's Mama, and more - all out now or coming soon to a cinema near you.

All this, plus of course our usual features - Over The Borders, News, Sports and Culture Calendar. Have a listen to the show below!
