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.

And he is the real deal. He's the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Tortoise Media.

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.

This is Raisins to Be cheerful with Ed Millivand and Jeff Lloyd.

Hello!

Hello, well here we are again another week.

Another week, another recipe if you've been back into the cookbook.

I have, I have, I think I, I mean I think because the squash, um, button-out squash soup didn't get the raspberry to mix my sort of metaphors.

Um, quite in the same way as the black bean soup had. I then got encouraged and made a lentil soup.

How did it go? It was fine actually. Soups are quite easy aren't they?

Hmm. In fact, I mean this is my reason to be cheerful but I mean the big news of my big news the week is we've bought a new frying pan.

Congratulations, I mean it does beg the question what happened to the old one?

What happened to the old frying pan which was also a new frying pan about 18 months ago?

Yes, I seem to remember this this not being the first time you've bought a new frying pan.
