Gas-Powered Flying Turkeys

"Smart" phones are causing chaos, a pranking parrot bides its time, and a Christmas turkey has a soaring swansong.

It's a big week for birds, from a pranking parrot that knows how to bide its time, to the Christmas turkey shooting out of a gas-filled oven. Elsewhere, phones are getting a little too "smart" because they're causing chaos in workplaces and cathedrals across the land.

Everyone’s invited to skate in Wrexham, as we festoon the city with banners and good vibes for Paddy's Ultra Endurance Cycle Challenge. And Liza’s musical selection is guaranteed to put power to his pedals, with tracks from Sammy Davis Jr, Lyn Collins, Big Star, The Snuts, and the late, very great, Quincy Jones.

To listen to the show on most smart speakers, say: “Ask ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds to play Liza Tarbuck".
