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.

So he lives and breeds this stuff. And it is just fascinating to get to look under the bonnet of a newsroom at this kind of level.

In case you didn't catch the name at the beginning, it's called The News Meeting.

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

out of the picture and it wasn't all about him. I thought it was a good point.

It was. You know at the same time you do, you kind of wish that he behaved like a grown-up as well though.

I never really long gave up on that. I mean, that sort of seems to be, you know what I mean.

So yeah, I think the world feels like a fairer, better, safer place than it did a week ago.

Even, you know, just rejoining the Paris agreement, the other executive orders he's doing,
