The first stop on this tour of the East Coast of the United States is rural Georgia, where we meet Hosley Hall, hard at work on his farm. He’s a fan of traditional southern crops and traditional vehicles, though his restored Chevy truck has an unusual agricultural twist!

Hosley Hall loves spending time on his farm, fully aware that, as an African American, his recent ancestors would not have had the option of owning land. Not far away, on Saint Simons Island, a few times a month, a charter boat captain takes funeral services out on the water.

Cap Fendig has the perfect name for his job as a boat captain. Cap offers a wide variety of trips aboard his charter boat, but particularly offers services to families who want to spread their loved ones' ashes at sea.

On Hilton Head Island, between the coastal cities of Charleston and Savannah, Lara and her partner Brian are busy restoring their sailboat in preparation for a new voyage across the seas. Lara sells paintings to raise funds for their project, and in their downtime, the pair enjoy exploring the local coastline by kayak.

The sea off the coast of Charleston is known as one of the best fishing grounds on the East coast. As well as fishermen, there are marine researchers out on the waves. We join a boat where sharks are being caught, tagged, and released in order to monitor their movements and gain a better understanding of their habits and lifecycles.

Marine Biologist Erin Levesque explains the significance of the otolith when examining fish. While Myrtle Beach's extensive sandy shoreline caters to mass tourism, the challenge for local artist Chris Wilson is to find the lesser known extraordinary scenes that inspire his paintings.

Chris Wilson’s dedication to art is unquestionable. A patriotic American artist, his love of the coast and the great outdoors inspires him, though the works are produced at a home studio where he can be unaffected by weather conditions or interruptions.

Despite many years of experience, Nema Triplett is still as enthusiastic about diving as someone discovering the sport for the first time. This area is scattered with many shipwrecks, and a leisure diving industry thrives as a result. Today, a boat full of divers is visiting the wreck of the famous U-352 German submarine which was sunk here during the Second World War.

With Britpop at its peak, bands such as Oasis and Blur vied to have the biggest hits, but it was The Verve who struck a chord with perhaps the most memorable song of the era, “Bitter Sweet Symphony." But even their success was bittersweet, as they were promptly sued by the Rolling Stones, who claimed the band had stolen one of their melodies without permission.

This smash hit from Canadian singer, songwriter and record producer The Weeknd comes from his album After Hours. The song reached number one in more than thirty countries, and in the United States it was the first song ever to remain in the top ten of the Billboard charts for over a year!

This whaling ballad was written long before the song became a surprise internet sensation. In the Nineteenth Century, the original Weller Brothers (Wellermen) brought supplies to remote whaling communities off the New Zealand coast. The lyrics speak of the voyage of one whaling vessel, the Billy of Tea, whose voyage did not go according to plan. Locked in an endless battle with a whale, they longed for a supply ship to bring them sugar, tea, and rum.

Jimmy Fallon can't believe he's at the White House on the Fourth of July. Watch part of his stand-up performance from that evening in which he does impressions of ten other comedians!

One of the great rock bands of all time, the Who, perform the song "Pinball Wizard" from their rock opera Tommy.
