0:00.0	Okay, folks, you are listening once again, or you're being invited into, I should say, once again, to life on planet Porky.
0:30.1	That is, of course, the podcast of myself, the Porkmeister, and Fleet Street, a rock chick extraordinaire, Ms. Lesley-leyanne Jones, who's on the other end of the line.
0:41.1	Leslie Ann, fantastic to be keying in with you again.
0:45.9	How have things been?
0:48.1	They've been mad, actually, Mike.

1:41.3	different types of covers, colors, typefaces, obviously words, all those things
