| 0:07.0 | The Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the weekly podcast with me, Steve Richards. |
| 0:35.1 | Thank you so much for tuning in wherever you are in the UK and indeed |
| 0:39.8 | the rest of the world. And you know what I'm going to say next, don't you? As ever, we have got a lot |
| 0:45.8 | to cram in in our time together. So this is what we're going to be doing if it's okay with all |

| 2:10.4 | it's my firm pledge that you will get your next bonus podcast, which is going to explore the |
| 2:16.8 | relationship between |
