| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the Pulse podcast, the podcast where we delve into the life and death decade of the automotive industry. |
| 0:13.1 | You are joined as nearly always by Dan Caesar, CEO of Fully Charged Show and Imbrugel, one of the presenters here on the show. |
| 0:23.4 | But Dan, how are you doing? |
| 0:24.9 | I'm good. Don't play your role down. Not just one of the presenters. You do a huge amount |
