This week, we visit the only golf course on the Faroe Islands. As you can see, it has spectacular views. It's also one of the oddest courses out there. Perhaps the only one where sheep are among the hazards to avoid while driving to the green.
As always, you can listen on iTunes, or on our media player above. Or you can download the show directly here:
