| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to the Alpan Sider podcast. I'm William Gallagher. Our sponsors this week are fast-growing |
| 0:11.2 | trees and Rogamiever, more about them later. And I am joined, well actually I'm joined by cold, |
| 0:16.4 | really. I promise not to cough at you. Or indeed, actually, at Wesley Hilliard, who I presume for this very |
| 0:22.4 | reason, is staying thousands of miles away from me. And it's consequently, hopefully, very, very well. |

| 1:09.5 | Do we have services with ads? |
| 1:12.4 | Do we pay the highest dollar to get rid of ads? |
| 1:15.0 | Like, how do we deal with all of this? |
| 1:16.5 | So just something we're going to talk about in the after show. |
| 1:18.9 | And maybe it'll be on topic a little bit more than we thought because of what's happening today. |
