46:55

The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Is the engagement ring as we know it dead?

Katt Cullen talks to Alfredo Arredondo and Irina Miric from fine jewellers Agua de Oro, based in Geneva and Zurich, to explore the dramatic shift away from traditional diamond engagement rings.

Together, they dive into the history of the engagement ring, from its origins to how diamonds became synonymous with love - thanks to the genius of De Beers' marketing, Hollywood, and some hit songs along the way. We discuss the rise of lab-grown diamonds, and how trends are shifting and more couples are saying goodbye to diamonds altogether, opting for entirely new ways to symbolise commitment with a more personalised choice.

With Agua de Oro’s commitment to socially ethical and eco-friendly luxury jewellery, they share why alternative, sustainable choices are becoming the new norm.

Is the end of the engagement ring tradition just the beginning of a new era in fine jewellery?

Tune in to find out and discover how you can make a more mindful, modern choice for your love story.

Helvetic Clinics handles hundreds of Swiss based patients a year looking for faster - and cheaper – dental treatment, It does involve a trip to Budapest, but you will be well looked after. Mark Butcher spoke to Pierre Chaker and Jean François Empain from Helvetic Clinics and asked why go to Budapest for your teeth? The Growing Trend of Dental Tourism: Why Swiss Residents are Choosing Budapest for Their Smiles In recent years, dental tourism has become a rising trend across Europe, with more and more people choosing to travel abroad for dental treatments that offer both exceptional quality and affordability. One city that has emerged as a top destination for dental procedures is Budapest, Hungary. Swiss residents, in particular, are increasingly drawn to Budapest, not only for its high-quality dental care but also for the considerable savings compared to domestic prices. In fact, many Swiss patients are discovering that dental treatments in Hungary can cost up to 70% less than they would in Switzerland—without compromising on quality. Why Budapest? Hungary has long been known for its excellent dental care, and Budapest is a hub for international patients seeking affordable, professional dental services. For Swiss residents, the combination of top-tier dentistry and an affordable price point makes Budapest an attractive option. Whether it’s a simple procedure like teeth whitening or a more complex treatment such as dental implants or crowns, Budapest offers a wide range of services that cater to all needs. In addition to high-quality dental procedures, Budapest is a city that appeals to travelers. With its beautiful architecture, rich cultural history, and vibrant food scene, it’s the perfect place to combine essential dental care with a European vacation. For Swiss residents, the relatively short flight to Budapest makes it an ideal destination for those looking for both quality dental treatments and an unforgettable travel experience. Helvetic Clinics: Probably The Best Dental Clinic in Hungary One of the leading names in Budapest’s dental tourism scene is Helvetic Clinics, widely regarded as the best dental clinic in Hungary for international patients. With a strong reputation for offering comprehensive dental care, Helvetic Clinics stands out for its commitment to providing world-class treatments with a personal touch.

The clinic’s staff is fluent in several languages, including English, German, and French, making communication easy and efficient for Swiss patients. Additionally, the clinic offers comprehensive treatment packages, which include airport transfers, accommodation recommendations, and even tourist tips for those who want to explore Budapest while receiving their treatments. The Patient Experience: Smooth, Comfortable, and Hassle-Free One of the main reasons Swiss residents are choosing Helvetic Clinics as their dental provider is the smooth, hassle-free experience from start to finish. The clinic goes above and beyond to ensure that patients feel comfortable and well-cared-for during their stay in Budapest. From the moment you arrive, the clinic’s team ensures that all logistics are taken care of, including transportation from the airport and recommendations for nearby hotels. Helvetic Clinics’ team of highly skilled professionals uses state-of-the-art equipment to perform treatments, ensuring that all procedures are not only effective but also comfortable. Whether you need a routine cleaning or a more complex procedure, you can trust that you’ll receive care that meets the highest standards. Why Choose Dental Tourism in Budapest? Besides the obvious cost savings, dental tourism in Budapest offers a number of benefits for Swiss patients. In addition to receiving affordable, high-quality care, patients can enjoy the beauty and culture of Budapest. Whether it's relaxing in the thermal baths, visiting historic landmarks, or exploring the city's vibrant arts scene, Budapest offers a wonderful backdrop to your dental treatment. Furthermore, dental tourism allows patients to avoid long waiting times often experienced in Switzerland. Many Swiss residents find that traveling to Budapest for dental care enables them to receive timely treatment while still being able to enjoy a relaxing vacation.
