W. Empire pod UK.com. Hello Empire podcast

podcast listeners thank you so much for listening to us just a quick heads up this may not be an

episode that you want to listen to with young children. Hello and welcome to Empire with me Anita Arnan and me William Durample.

Can we just start with a thank you to all of the listeners who've stayed with us and also

you new listeners who joined the podcast to come and hear us talk about Russia.

We are absolutely swept away by your enthusiasm and we're so grateful and if you really like us tell your friends because we're kind of now getting used to this

This growing adulation I don't know what I'll do without it. There's kind of crazy.

It's gone very, very well. And I have to say this series was a neat idea. We have a moment in the series

when we were putting our ideas together where we start with the theme, but we sing our hymn that Tanita was right.

And this was right back on the day that Projokin moved into Russia, you got on the blower and said,

we have to do Russia next.

And I wasn't initially very taken with the idea, but I've been absolutely right.

Not taken with the idea is is it mild

mild I've always been keen on the great game but the Russia Russia Russia and the

great game is now our most popular series ever.

I am honestly very grateful but honestly I'm right most of the times.

Irritating but true.

That's fine. But I'll take it. It's fine. Look last week it was very cliffhangery. It was very exciting
