Hello and welcome to NewsRost. My name is Jolian Rubinstein.

My name's Hayden Proust.

This is three courses of conversation.

That's right.

This is where each week we have a different guest on and they bring three metaphorical courses for us to sink our teeth into digest and then shit out.

It's the sort of thing that where, you know, if you were in that meeting with your boss, it wasn't going that well.

Yeah.

And you sort of had to prove that you were slightly more intelligent than the next gentleman or lady, you

could drop one of these anecdotal bombs, couldn't you?

Exactly.

Just explode all over.

Or, for example, if you were invited to a particularly highbrow dinner party and, you know,

you're supposed to be there in an hour, you just download this podcast with our guest today,

John Sweeney.

Oh.

You'll have loads of

interesting perspectives and insights into things and everyone at the dinner party will think you're super smart.

Or even if you're at a night bus stop and there's this quite cute girl and you think, God, she looks

classy. Or a guy, or a guy, or a guy. And you just think that the way to their heart is by discussing whether they're a Scientologist.

So you might be like, oh, hello, hello, madam.

Hello, Matt.

I don't know if you know much about North Korea or Scientology.
