| 0:04.6 | Well, it's Sunday, Paddy, and I've just asked you something that you can't remember. |
| 0:07.7 | But let's start with some useful information for our newscasters, shall we? |
| 0:11.3 | A public service announcement. |
| 0:14.5 | Yes, because if you subscribe on BBC Sounds, you get a push notification whenever an episode drops and we don't always |
| 0:22.2 | publish them at the same time. So we thought that might be useful. Henry, you're obviously a subscriber. |
| 0:27.1 | I am. I am. This is proof. Okay. It's one of several excellent BBC Sounds podcasts. |
| 0:34.5 | What's another podcast you like? BBC or non-BBC? I'll tell you what else I've |

| 1:15.9 | Click subscribe button and then you'll get it straight to your device every time we publish an episode. Henry, you said you've already done it. |
| 1:22.4 | So I don't have to bossily do what it says on the piece of paper, which is tell Henry to do it. It does say that. We've got a piece of paper that says, tell Henry to do it. |
| 1:29.6 | It should be the other way around. Henry's a podcast. You should do a pick of the podcast. |
