Stephen Kelly (16), currently on work experience

Today, In-Depth host Thomas Janak found himself on air between 2p.m. and 3p.m. after having been abandoned by one of his fellow presenters.

An ad-hoc music hour graced the airwaves as Thomas was supported by Stephen Kelly(pic) and Orla Shiels, both currently on work experience.

Thomas had just met the two youngsters and vividly talked to them on air while playing a mixture of old and new songs.

A very special thanks to our listener Dougie who took the time to call in to congratulate Thomas for a "refreshing show" (quote) with "fun and sharp comments" (quote)

It was an hour of blood, sweat and tears but nontheless enjoyable

There might be a second show coming your way as Thomas Janak has scheduled an interview with wildlife photographer Steve Bloom.
