Summary

This week on Fortunately, Fi and Jane sit down with all round broadcasting sensation Gemma Cairney, star across the networks from 1Xtra to 6Music and presenter of Radio 4's Sound Odyssey. There's a sense of adventure in the air as Fi returns from the Fjords and Jane's signed up to a new online service for lonely hearts. Over a hefty flapjack and pineapple chunks, they get the lowdown from Gemma on growing up, ancient medicine, an interesting quote from Trevor Nelson and romance...both old and new.
