Look at the bull work podcast. I'm Charlie Sykes and it is Thursday. There's a lot of things

0:13.4

that we're keeping our eye on, including the health worries about the queen. We do not

0:18.0

know at this point what her condition is. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but

0:22.7

to say that her passing will be the end of an epoch seems to understate it. And of course,
