On Shelter Island this week, the lads dive straight into the world of cruising and are joined by TikTok star and world traveller Erica DePasquale, better know as, EricaFromAmerica! She tells the boys about her six year experience of working on a cruise ship, which has taken her to 65 countries. Erica also describes the rowdy stories on deck, how she found her TikTok fame, and she ranks the best cruise-related songs in our Game of The Week.

After taking two weeks off for our host Mason to recover from COVID-19, we are back with an absolute BELTER! This week, Jack and Mason are joined by Season 1 finalist of Race Across the World, Alex Speck-Zolte. Alex talks to the lads about his time on the BBC Show, of how he got from London to Singapore, without taking a flight, for the cost of a one-way plane ticket. He recalls a horrid 5 day journey across the Caspian Sea, a drunken after-party in Singapore and striking up an unlikely romance whilst working in China. 🏃✈️🌏Check out Alex's travel content and business here - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL65gXPeek1gQksvPDgPtwA & https://www.instagram.com/sonderfultravel/

On Shelter Island this week, the East meets the West as Mason and Jack speak to Russian TikTok star, Niki Proshin.

After a week's hiatus, Shelter Island are back with a bang and returning to where it all started, camp. This week, the boys speak to old friend Brandon Cowan about all their whacky camp and Monticello memories. Brandon talks about his journey in becoming a baseball coach, which includes travelling the country and going to random towns off-the-beaten track!

On the fifth episode of Shelter Island's second season, Mason and Jack go extreme and dive into the insane world of kite surfing. The lads are joined by Dennis Petersen, a German kite surfer, currently living in Portugal. He shares his journey of growing up in Hamburg, to training on the best beaches in Brazil (oh, and Carnival too!). Dennis also speaks about the dangerous experiences and near misses he's had with the sport. Follow him on Instagram to see how crazy his stunts are @dennis_petersen_ 🌊🪂🏄‍♂️🪁

On the fourth episode of Shelter Island's second season, the lads speak to an old friends of Hymo's, the lovely, Jenna Merry. Jenna talks about being in Syracuse with Jack, studying in Italy during a pandemic, and we test her on her Italian knowledge in a quickfire game! Oh... and listen to the 'sexual' close call she had with the Italian police!

As this weekend marks the final of the UEFA Champions League, Mason and Jack speak to someone who had the privilege of commentating on club football's biggest game. Brad Hope shares his experiences of living in "The Portland" with Mason, a graduation to remember, and flying to Kiev to watch Real Madrid v Liverpool. Brad's an audio description commentator, which provides incredible access to the game, to the visually impaired. To find out more about the work Brad does, follow @AlanMarchSport.
