| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another edition of Not Another One, the podcast which you should never listen to |
| 0:16.8 | if you want to stay in your echo chamber, if you hate hearing people with a slightly different |
| 0:22.5 | point of view that could send you into a triggered rage. No, this is a podcast for people |
| 0:28.7 | who actually want to listen to and understand other perspectives within politics. And that is a podcast |
