| 0:00.0 | Hello, it's Billy from the Gossip Gaze podcast, which is currently sponsored by Skystream. |
| 0:05.6 | Listen, life's complicated enough and the last thing that we need is |
| 0:10.6 | Telly that's complicated. So Skystream makes watching Telly so super simple. |
| 0:17.2 | It puts shows from all your favour apps and channels side by side in one menu, |
| 0:21.2 | so you don't have to waste time going in and out of all your favour apps. And that means more time |
