Our food guru Sue Style was in to talk about about the upcoming Herbstmäss, starting on October 24th. There's food galore at this fair: Käskiechli, Klöpfer, Bratwurst, flammkuchen, raclette, Magenbrot + Schoggimagenbrot (Herbstmäss is the place to practise your dialect), Läckerli, crepes and waffles, candy floss, heissi Marroni and much much more. Petersplatz is one of the English Show's favorite places to go (KARTOFFELPUFFER!).

Then there's also the Wymäss (wine fair) with around 120 stands and over 4000 different wines from all over world. Tip: decide roughly what area/wine type you're interested in before you go, book online (14 vs. 18 francs), and use the spitoons when tasting - that way you can taste way more and still stand a chance of exiting on your two feet.

Testicular cancer - recent research has shown that Swiss men have a particularly high risk of testicular cancer. Health Matters expert Dr. Michelle Wright from our correspondents at the BlueBox team looks into why this may be and explains why all men should "Keep their eye on the ball". Listen to her segment again here.
