Dampfbad Basel, Sustainable Living - Composting, Tick Tacks Episode 3 - Home, Jake's Last Show

Looking for a place to escape the busy month of December? Try the DAMPF°BAD Basel! It's a hammam-type wellness & spa in the St. Johann area. There are steam rooms, hammam treatments and around 14 different kinds of massages on offer. The staff will give you a towel to wrap yourself in. Admission is CHF 32.-, and there are also options for a 10-visit or one-year pass. Reporter Ingrid Koning spoke with deputy manager Marcellus Nick.

Our "Queen of Green" Carrie Aikman finishes the year with the last monthly Eco Habit Challenge. After learning to refuse, reduce, reuse and recycle, now we talk rot - composting! Did you know that Basel will give you everything you need to get started...for free?! It just doesn't get any easier than that. Listen to the segment again here - and there's a list of helpful resources, too!

Tick Tacks, a play on the acronym TCK (for Third Culture Kids), is a podcast produced by Dan Saks and The English Show. This is the serialized story of what it's like to be a Tick Tack - told in the first person by Third Culture Kids. Sam and Gwylim are the intrepid hosts of the podcast as we learn about the ABCs of TCKs. People and children who move a few times or even a lot can have a hard time figuring out where home is. Sometimes children don't have anywhere they call home. This can be down to things they miss from their old home, or they find new things which are more enjoyable in their new place to live. However, it can vary from child to child based on their personalities and whether they enjoy change or not. Listen to the episode again here.
