| 0:00.0 | I'm Jeff Norcott and I have a twice weekly topical comedy podcast called What Most People Think. |
| 0:05.7 | If you like hearing jokes about the news, well this show does the job that panel shows used to do, |
| 0:10.5 | as myself and another guest try to make sense of the big political and cultural stories. |
