This episode of Reasons to Be Chirphal is brought to you by the newsmeeting from Podimo and Tortoise.

This is a new podcast that I'm really excited about. It is a brilliant idea.

In each episode, you hear three journalists pitching their idea of what the most important story of the week is.

And this is basically what happens every day in every newsroom in the world.

And you get to be a fly on the wall. It is heated, it's competitive, it's informed, it's passionate, it's funny sometimes.

You're going to love it. So they're pitching to James Harding, who hosts the podcast and makes the decisions on what leads, what follows, and in what order.

He used to be director of BBC News and the editor of The Times before that.

And you can listen wherever you get your podcasts and follow the feed for new episodes every Friday.

Radiophonic business, isn't it? Are you familiar with the masked singer?

No. I'm only just familiar with badges. It's a show on ITV on a Saturday night, a big light entertainment show.

And they have famous people, you don't know their identity.

They're wearing huge masks, almost like mascot style masks.

And they sing and a panel of celebrities and the public watching at home,
