| 0:04.6 | Hi my name's Tommy Dixon and I make podcast for the BBC. I'm a big fan of stories |
| 0:09.8 | always loved a good book but when I started commuting for my first job, I discovered |
| 0:14.0 | podcasts. I was blown away about how a creative idea and the right mixture of sounds |
| 0:18.6 | could take you into a whole new world full of incredible stories. You know, the type that |
| 0:22.4 | make you go, wow. And that kind of inspired me to give it a go myself, |

| 1:21.8 | few minutes or so. Does Bazball work for Joe I don't know but he |

| 1:30.7 | Bumra he took the last wicket to fall. |
