Small World Stories

Where’s the most unexpected place you’ve bumped into someone from back home?

From random run-ins abroad to chance meetings at festivals, football matches, or even hotel lobbies - sometimes the world really does feel smaller than you think. Those surprise moments, where a familiar accent or shared hometown instantly sparks a connection, can turn anywhere into home.

Join Gura for a feel-good, story-driven show celebrating those unbelievable 'no way you’re from there too!' encounters. Expect relatable stories, big reactions, and moments that prove just how connected we all are, wherever we go.

Get involved with Pick & Play, where you help shape the soundtrack, and stay locked in for Gura’s Fast Track Anthem - fast-tracking you straight into your Saturday night with nothing but energy.

It’s all about unexpected connections, shared roots, and the stories that bring people together.
