| 0:00.0 | Okay, folks, you are listening to the latest episode, the latest chapter, |
| 0:26.2 | latest outstanding revelations on life on planet Porky, with myself, of course, the |
| 0:31.6 | portmister, and the rock chick writer extraordinaire, Miss Leslie Ann Jones. And Miss Jones, I saw something come out |
| 0:40.0 | overnight. I think it's from Stateside indicating that your book on John Lennon has now entered |
| 0:45.6 | the pantheons of great literary rock books. Is this right? Something like that. yeah. Yeah, it's going so well. |
| 0:55.7 | I've been really pleased because, as you know, it was a hard book to write. |

| 1:54.4 | And surely that justifies, you know, every parent's belief in their children. |
| 1:59.7 | It's going to invite criticism, isn't it, this kind of thing? |
| 2:03.0 | Because Tony Blair has his adversaries, his critics. |
| 2:07.5 | He has made millions in some of the shadiest corners of the world. |
| 2:11.2 | We know that. |
