| 0:00.0 | This episode of Reasons to Be Chirphal is brought to you by the newsmeeting from Podimo and Tortoise. |
| 0:05.2 | This is a new podcast that I'm really excited about. It is a brilliant idea. |
| 0:10.0 | In each episode, you hear three journalists pitching their idea of what the most important story of the week is. |

| 1:30.4 | And look, we should do full disclosure. |
| 1:33.2 | Yeah. |
| 1:34.5 | We're recording this episode back in December. |
| 1:38.4 | The reason being it's that time of year where life doesn't quite grind back into life in terms of podcast and podcast guests the first week of January. |
| 1:48.0 | So what we did, we anticipated this and we recorded a fantastic conversation that I think you're really going to enjoy. |
