Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,

I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to

spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month

of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.

That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get

the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.

Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European.com.ukuk

forward slash two mats. This offer is the best you'll get anywhere and it's exclusive to two

mats podcast listeners. And you can cancel any time you like. So it's an unrepeatable offer to

dip your toe into a whole new world of journalism.

Hello, welcome to the New European podcast. My name's Richard Porritt, and on this week's show, we've got two very special guests.

Matt Kelly, editor-in-chief of the new European, is going to be along very shortly.

I'm not going to spoil it, but he's got some pretty good news.

You may have seen this in the media, but there's good news for you guys and for the reasons of the TNE and for Matt as well.

And then we're going to be joined by writer, broadcaster and sister, of course, of a very famous politician, former university's minister Joe Johnson. That's right. Rachel Johnson will be with us. She's written in this week's print edition of the New European about her appearing on Celebrity Best Home Cook on BBC One. I'm sure you've all been tuning in,

of course, that's alongside Mary Berry.

We will do the news, as always.

Still, probably, you know,

at least check the website

because there is still lots of breaking news week to week.

I know you like to come here for your news.

But firstly, where the fuck have you been?
