It's a Kraków Special on Pole-ish as we welcome David McGirr - Scottish photographer, founder of Kraków Expats Directory, creator of Kraków TV, and one of the city's official Ambassadors of Multiculturalism.

David explains what first drew him to Kraków, why he chose to stay, and how he's helped thousands of newcomers discover the city. We talk hidden gems, favourite neighbourhoods, expat life, learning Polish, British tourists, Kraków's thriving food scene, the city's unique blend of history and modernity – and how his friends came to give him THAT nickname!

Plus, Peter and John explore some of Kraków's best-loved legends, from the mysterious knife hanging in the Sukiennice to Pan Twardowski, and put John's local knowledge to the test in another round of 3 in 10.
