As always on a Thursday, we have our regular Recommends Slot. This week, Jacqui started off by recommending listeners to go out and play a round of pitch and putt. She rightly pointed out that pitch and putt is a great way of getting a bit of excerise without having to take the whole day out like you would with a round of golf and that even if it rains you can carry on plus it's always great craic, and you don't actually have to be very good at it to enjoy a round. If you want to find out more about where you could go in your area of the country to play pitch and putt, check out the Pitch and Putt Union of Ireland's website.

Jim Jim decided to recommend a new magazine he came across recently in Edinburgh airport when he was looking for something to read for the plane. It's called Wired and it's the new UK version of the long-running hit US magazine. Wired is the magazine about what's next - the people, the trends and the big ideas that will change our lives. Each month, through thought-provoking features and stunning photography, Wired explores the next big ideas in science, culture, business, technology - wherever innovation and new thinking are reshaping the world.

And finally, Colm is recommending a free event that takes place this Sunday in Youghal County Cork. It's a Medieval Festival and considering we have been giving away weekend trips to Ahern's Hotel in Youghal all week on the show, he thought it worthwhile to check out something that's going on down there for this week's Recommends and this is certainly an unusual and interesting event. There'll be medieval battles, archery displays, food and craft stalls and plenty of fun activities for kids like a bouncy castle and face painting.
