"I'm so embarrassed" - John Stanley reacts to his in studio surprise

Summer Nights with Bill Woods - Friday,  9th January 2026

Sixty years on and The Sound of Music is still alive, well, and apparently yodelling at full volume. 

In October 2025, Salzburg rolled out the lederhosen and red carpet for a star-studded 60th anniversary gala — and travel writer Helen Hayes was right there soaking it all in. 

From revisiting iconic filming locations to discovering lesser-known gems across Salzburgerland, Helen joins Bill fresh from the hills that are very much still alive with the sound of music.

Lederhosen & Legends: Helen Hayes retraces the Sound Of Music trail

Bill Woods speaks with with 23-year-old tennis sensation Grace Hobbs to explore the high-speed world of Blind and Low Vision (BLV) Tennis.

As the fastest-growing sport for people with vision loss, BLV tennis requires incredible skill, focus, and resilience, qualities Grace has in abundance.

Despite being diagnosed with profound hearing loss as a toddler and later facing the challenges of Usher Syndrome, Grace has refused to let her diagnoses define her limits.

Instead, she has "re-focused" her goals, turning her passion for the court into a world-class career.
