0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Eddie Mayer. I'm sure, like me, you have your favourite podcasts, and we're always on the lookout, aren't we, for something new in the podcast world. |
0:09.2 | I wonder if you'd like to try a new BBC podcast, which starts on Monday, May the 14th. It will not be entertaining. It will not leave you with a smile playing about your lips. Some of it will be grueling and harrowing. |
0:23.8 | I can think of many reasons why you would not want to add it to your podcast subscriptions. |
0:28.6 | But if you're still listening, maybe you'll find our new podcast is something you'd like to hear. |
0:33.9 | Our podcast will be all about the 71 people known to have died in the Grenfell Tower Fire on June the 14th last year. |
0:42.0 | Soon the public inquiry will begin to examine the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the fire. |
0:48.3 | As you could imagine, there'll be a lot of media coverage when the inquiry starts, when the inquiry finishes, and at key points along the way. |
0:56.7 | But news being what it is, much of the media will be talking about other things during the Grenfell |
1:01.8 | inquiry. They'll move on. Our podcast won't. Our podcasts will report every day the Grenfell Tower |
1:09.8 | inquiry is sitting. |
1:20.0 | We don't think anyone's tried something like this before, a nightly podcast from an important inquiry, so we will be learning as we go along. |
1:24.9 | Your help, comments and questions will be a vital part of what we do. |
1:28.8 | What I can promise you is that as well as telling you what happened inside the inquiry room itself every night, |
1:31.8 | we'll try to demystify some of the complexities |
1:34.2 | and make the technical evidence make sense |
1:37.0 | so that, well, so that even I can understand it. |
1:40.2 | The inquiry starts on Monday the 21st of May, |
1:42.7 | but before then, we'll fill you in on some of the important details you need to know. |
1:46.9 | And if you subscribe, you'll get them without further ado. |
1:50.6 | That's the Grenfell Tower Inquiry podcast from the BBC. |
