| 0:08.3 | radio show. You know this already. You can listen live Monday to Friday, 10-till-one, |
| 0:12.4 | moving you politics without the boring bits. We bring you a half-an-use political midday, |
| 0:17.2 | and much else besides coming up today on the podcast as the COVID-19 inquiry gets underway. |
| 0:23.7 | We take a look at the five big questions the inquiry needs to answer, |
| 0:28.4 | with an absolutely stellar lineup of times and Sunday times corresponds that's coming up in |
| 0:32.2 | just about it. But first, as we always do on a Tuesday, it's time for these two. |
