You're about to listen to a BBC podcast and I'd like to tell you a bit about the

podcast I work on. I'm Dan Clark and I commissioned factual podcasts at the BBC.

It's a massive area but I'd sum it up as stories to help us make sense of the forces shaping the world.

What podcasting does is give us the space and the time to take brilliant BBC journalism

and tell amazing compelling stories that really get behind the headlines.

And what I get really excited about is when we find a way of drawing you into a subject

you might not even have thought you were interested in.

Whether it's investigations, science, tech, politics, culture, true crime, the environment,

you can always discover more with a podcast on BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts.

Okay, George, let's pretend we're in a restaurant.

What can I get for you?

What should I order that would be good to put up on my Instagram feed?

Pastor always does incredibly well for some reason.

Pies surprisingly as well.

Pies?

Yeah, it's surprisingly popular at the moment.

Because it proves that you're eating hearty food rather than Instagram food.

And maybe for a bit of colour, a vibrant salad.

What should we have to drink?

Probably not wine or beer, they're a bit boring.

Instead, maybe pink gin, surprisingly fashionable right now.
