| 0:00.0 | What's up ladies and gentlemen boys and girls around the world. |
| 0:22.0 | I would like to welcome you back to the Real Talk with Zuby podcast. |
| 0:25.7 | On today's episode we've got on another brilliant guest. |
| 0:28.3 | She is an independent writer from the UK and this is Freya India. |
| 0:32.3 | Welcome to the show. |
| 0:33.3 | Thank you so much for having me. |
| 0:35.3 | No doubt. |
| 0:36.3 | Good to see you, Freya. |
| 0:37.3 | So I've done a super brief intro right there, but for people who don't know who you are, please tell them a little bit about yourself. |
