Yeah, good afternoon from a muggy old Salford. How you doing? Hope you've had a good Wednesday.

Thank you, as always, for finding me. I don't mean finding me. I mean joining me, really.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm flying solo today deliberately. I fancy a good chinwag

with you about some interesting things.

I've got a variety of subjects, topics, talking points, whatever you choose to call them.

I've got them right here.

I think it's interesting or it's going to be interesting.

Your Richie Allen Show begins right now. No spin. No filters.

This is your Richie Allen show.

Free speech radio like you've never heard it before.

It's the Richie Allen show.

Broadcasting live on richie Allen.com.

And multiple platforms around the world. And now, here's your host,

Richie Allen. Yeah, it's a funny thing. I had a crazy old afternoon phone calls with people

to do with external matters, phone calls and stuff. And it occurred to me at two minutes to five.

I hadn't loaded my audio bank with my clips. So, frantically, it's one of those things, a duck, a swan, a swan looks

very serene on the surface of the water, but underneath the feet are paddling. At the speed of light,

that was me, I might sound a bit out of breast, but I'm all right.

And I'm looking forward to this program. Download my app to send an instant message, or if you don't want to do that, although heaven knows why. You can email me through the website,

the contact form, at richie allen.co.uk.

I've been getting away with that theme tune for years.

That being said, I do pay music royalties.
