Welcome to the Dear Lovejoy podcast, sponsored by cook, 100 degree boiling hot water straight from your kitchen tap.

I do love mine so much. I can't imagine not having it now, especially when it comes to cooking at night.

the experts.

Though I do, I suppose my mailbags give my opinion on people's problems.

I sort of, I don't know, I sort of put myself out there as a fake

guru. So there is that. And remember, if you ever take advice off me, you'll take advice

podcast. I like to start these podcasts with a question and today's is what's wrong
