Hi everybody and welcome to this week's Squiggly Careers podcast. I am Helen and I'm joined by my co-host Sarah. Hi everyone. And it's a particularly warm day today.

I'm in a really like dark, it's

0:22.7

really depressing. So this is, we're recording this right in the middle of a heat wave and I'm in a

0:27.1

really dark room with all the shutters closed. But to make me feel summary, this is one of the

0:32.0

gin and tonic episodes. So just to warn everybody. I didn't know that. I've also got an empty glass of wine next to me.

0:37.6

I'm glad I'm bitting this.

1:18.7

to be fair, rather. We weren't quite ready for us. So the people that I've got tickets,

1:22.9

we're really happy. We can't wait to meet you all which would be brilliant obviously most people haven't got tickets because it's not the biggest theatre in the world but we are recording that
