| 0:00.0 | Hi, is Caroline here? And Liz, you're with me? Yeah, hi, Caroline. I'm here too. And the reason we're |
| 0:06.1 | here, Liz, is it's a bit of a thank you, but it's also a bit of a reminder, isn't it, for all our |
| 0:11.9 | amazing listeners. We wanted just to sort of reiterate and remind you that everything we bring you |
| 0:18.9 | on the trial UK, the trial USA, the trial Australia is going to keep |
| 0:22.2 | coming. We're committed to that. And in fact, Liz, you and I have got quite a big case. |
| 0:25.8 | Yeah, we've got a big one coming up that we're doing together in November. Then obviously, |

| 1:11.6 | and the sentencing of Diddy with our USA team. So yeah, we're all really committed to that |
| 1:17.6 | free model of covering trials across, not just the country now, but across the globe, which we think |
| 1:24.2 | is really important. And last March, Liz, you and I launched the trial plus |
| 1:29.3 | with that three-part series into the Countess of Chester off the back of the Thirlwall Inquiry. |
| 1:35.7 | And that again, as part of the crime desk, has become another phenomenon and part of this message is to say, |
| 1:42.5 | thank you to everyone who has subscribed because |
