| 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. |
| 0:17.0 | And this is basically what happens every day in every newsroom in the world. |
| 0:21.8 | 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. |
| 0:28.2 | 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. |

| 1:32.2 | When did you think it was that men started being able to wear tights for running? |
| 1:36.3 | This week? No, but it's funny. It's like one of those things where you don't notice it until you notice it. |
| 1:41.2 | I mean, I now wear tights, because it's so, it's quite cold. |
| 1:44.8 | Are they pretty, pretty poly? |
| 1:46.4 | Ah! Wow! Ed is showing me his leg on the Zoom. Firstly, can I just compliment your hip flexibility? |
