| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Joe Wiley. And I'm Soie Ball. And we're here to tell you about a brand new podcast, Digit. |
| 0:06.3 | Digit is all about the things that Joe and I love. From the kids to the parents and all the stuff in between. |
| 0:13.5 | There's a lot going on when you get to this age. Listen wherever you get your podcasts and watch every episode on Spotify. Dig it. Every week. Every week. |
| 0:23.6 | For the rest of time. Yes. Okay. Good. |
| 0:29.2 | Page 94, the Private Eye podcast. Hello and welcome to another episode of page 94. My name's |
| 0:35.5 | Andrew Hunter-Murray and I'm here in the Private Eye office. This episode is going to be a slightly upside down one. In the second half, |

| 1:22.0 | claimed were helping to refuel American and Israeli jets. |
| 1:26.0 | Just a few days later, plans were announced to ban the group |
| 1:29.1 | by the government, and it is now categorized as a prescribed organization on roughly the same |
| 1:35.0 | level as Islamic State, say. When the government prescribed Palestine action, the Home Office |
| 1:40.4 | Minister Dan Jarvis said that that prescription, quotes, would not impinge on people's |
| 1:44.8 | right to protest. Those who wish to protest or express support for Palestine have always been able to |
| 1:49.8 | and can continue to do so. That has not been strictly true. Dozens of people have been arrested, |
