| 0:04.8 | Boris Johnson has recommended that we go on a staycation. |
| 0:09.4 | Now I know there's a dispute about whether that means you stay at home and go on day trips or you go |
| 0:13.8 | somewhere else that's in the UK but we'll park that for now. But it's good for two |
| 0:18.0 | reasons. First of all this podcast is actually taking a bit of a staycation so that the people that make it can have a little bit of a rest. |
| 0:29.0 | But don't worry, we're aiming to do at least one episode a week all throughout August and if there's lots of news |
