0:00.0	Okay, folks, you are listening to the latest chapter, the latest edition, the latest episode of Life on Planet Pork.
0:29.7	And, of course, what would Planet Porky be without the rock chick extraordinary, Ms. Leslie Ann Jones, who of course is with me again now. Hello, Leslie,
0:39.7	Anne. How's life? That's very good. This Anne crack-in, as they say. How's it at your end?
0:45.1	Well, it's pretty good. I don't know if you keep up with me on Twitter, but I decided yesterday,
