| 0:00.0 | Okay, folks, you're listening to the latest chapter, the latest edition, the latest great adventure, from life on planet Porky, with of course myself the Porkmeister, and the Rock Chip writer Extraordinaire, who's very, very busy writing at the moment, |
| 0:40.5 | Ms. Leslie and Jones. |
| 0:42.7 | Miss Jones, you've got me up at a ridiculously early hour for us to record this podcast, |
| 0:48.4 | which I'm happy to do because I believe the early hours of any day are the hours that belong to you. |
| 0:53.3 | But the reason is, you're very shortly |
| 0:55.7 | going to be starring on television in Australia. And it is, of course, to promote your new book, |
| 1:02.1 | The Stone Age. This is all very exciting, Miss Jones. Oh, it's a runaway train, Michael. It's been |

| 1:53.1 | and the grey pound has got more money than the young pound, if you understand what I mean. |
| 1:56.9 | You know, the baby boomers who grew up with the stones and all that, |
| 1:59.6 | still afford to pay 200 quid, you know, for a ticket to go and watch them play and all that. I saw a talk, and it must |
| 2:06.3 | have been to do with, you know, something about the latest talk on me. It was in the Sunday Times |
| 2:10.4 | magazine, actually, and it was a talk with the, what you might say, the three remaining stones, |
