| 0:00.0 | Have you ever wondered what your last meal would be? |
| 0:03.8 | Well, I've got the perfect podcast for you. |
| 0:06.7 | Desert Island Dishes is a chart-topping podcast where every week I talk to a different guest |
| 0:11.8 | about the seven dishes that have shaped their life. |
| 0:14.7 | And we find out what the last meal they'd choose to eat before being cast off to the Desert |
| 0:20.1 | Island would be. This is a show about food cast off to the desert island would be. |

| 1:26.0 | Good day to you. Good day to you, John. |
| 1:29.3 | Temperature, first thing, 47 Fahrenheit went up to 60 Fahrenheit, sunny on and off. |
| 1:36.3 | You know, some comes out, some comes, goes behind the clouds, then back and forth, back and forth, |
