Sean Martin and Tony Haggerty are joined by Kano Foundation trustee Claire Murray to shine a light on the charity's mission to help give kids a modern-day 'lift over the turnstile' with days out to Celtic Park and a lot more besides.

Claire tells the guys about how the Foundation's origins can be traced back to a Scottish expat living in Australia in 2008 as well as its subsequent expansion and success.

She also explains how the whole operation works, the ways in which interested parties can get involved and the important role the Jota song and Spongebob Squarepants seem to play in it all.
