You know what? I feel them. Like dancing. Like letting the movement of your body describe

the sheer quality of this paint. I was actually going to say I feel like we should get

on and move that grand piano before starting.

Heritage by Do Looks. It's a feeling.

Our sponsor for this episode is Tortus, the Sloan newsroom. As I've said before I'm

a big fan, so often the news media is fixated on pitch and pace to drive clicks and shares.

In Tortus, you'll find a different kind of newsroom. It's not the dopamine hit of breaking

news or social media. What you'll get is a clear headed insight into what is driving

the news, why these stories, why now, what is really going on beneath the soap opera of

the news cycle. Tortus have a great offer for you. Try 30 days for free and then just £5

a month. I will tell you how to do that in a moment. But first here's why. Tortus

members get more early access to Tortus podcasts, which by the way, a top draw stuff like

London Grand and Sweet Bobby. You'll get daily newsletters, tickets to exclusive live events

with really great names like Iwayway and Catlin Moran. And you are supporting a slower,

wiser approach to news, which I think is much needed right now. This is an offer just

for you as a listener to our podcast. And I am confident that if you like what we do,

you will love what Tortus do. Make sense of a fast moving world with Tortus membership.
