Hello everybody, welcome to part two, our delightful best of where we're heading

back through the back catalogue and finding some of our favorite moments. If you

haven't listened to part one, press pause, press stop, go back to the feed, listen

to part one featuring Stephen Frye, term France, Traverse Halibanza, Hannah

Gadsby, have a listen to that first and then come back here for part two.

Where listeners you are going to be treated to the delights of Liz Carr, Beth Ditto,

Paris Lease, Patty Smith, Debbie Harry. Nice and now we're moving into the realm of
