0:00.0	Okay, folks, you are listening to the latest episode of Life on Planet Porky.
0:28.4	And I have to say, life on planet Porky's been quite busy these last two or three days.
0:32.3	Not just for myself.
0:33.4	I'm, of course, Mike Porky Parry, but also for the lady in her executive studio on the other end of
