This week whilst Shannon is on her tod, Susan Smith from the No One Dies Alone service, a branch of the many amazing services the Highland Hospice offers, to talk about that anyone can request a companion during someone's last moments.

The usual Guess the Year, Beat Detective and the NHS Highland Coffee corner returns as well as Shannon giving her friends from the south a full Highland Experience and how she got herself on the interview side of another podcast!

Highland Hospital Radio will also be celebrating 55 years young on the 2nd of November, and the Saturday Drop In will involve a party in the office at Raigmore on the 1st, so if you find yourself in Raigmore that day: drop in, make a request and maybe we'll give you some cake!

Your email to get involved in the podcast is socials@hhr.scot

**This episode begins with a discussion about suicide. You can skip to 16:50 to avoid this**

We have Annalie and Tom from Change Mental Health's Suicide Bereavement Support Team to talk about this vital service across the Highland and Argyll & Bute area. You can find out more at their website https://changemh.org/sbs/

Shannon is taking a week off so Tom is joined by a showcase of talented co-hosts with Jess, Danny & Phil here to keep Tom company.

We try and figure out how many times we've ever needed to work out the area of circle, or the length of the hypotenuse. We also look into the storm names for this winter after Storm Amy took her toll on Scotland. This or That is a World Animal Day special, Guess the Year might have one of those sporting events and Beat Detective gets an 'easy' rating, so no pressure!
