Welcome to Thursday's off air with Jane and Fee.

A Fee is joining us from a secret location.

But I mean, I think listeners could tell you were a bit poorly yesterday.

Oh, the annoying thing is, you join me from the bunker of Dalston.

Yes.

Is that actually I feel fine, but I just sound terrible.

And I've just got this cough that once I start coughing, I just can't stop coughing.

And obviously, for live radio, that's just horrendous.

So there were a couple of moments on the live show.

I don't know whether you want to do your own message, Mandy, at this point.

Get the Times Radio app is completely free.

And we're live on air between 2 o'clock and 4 Monday to Thursday,

discussing a dizzying range of topics at the moment, obviously plenty of geopolitics.

But also notably, we are still talking about cats. And there's an item on the live show today about apparently cats like you more than we think. So if you haven't ever joined us live on the radio, please do get the Times Radio app. It won't cost you a penny. And then you get access to a world of audio wonder. Back to you, Fee. Lovely. Do you know what? That was massive old message, Mandy. That was absolutely brilliant.

So there were a couple of times yesterday where I did think I'm not going to get to the end of

this sentence. And in particular, with Lord Darrick, who we were talking to, former UK ambassadors

to the US, it's such serious stuff. Nobody wants to hear me basically try and exorcise my lungs

halfway through an interview. So you do join me from home. Oh, look, Nancy's coming. That's nice. Hello, Nancy. Click, click, click, click. Do you want to just have a quick hello? Look, there's she, hang on a second. I'm showing Jane, dear listeners. It's not going to be very much to you.

Lance, say hello.

There she is.

I can see almost all of her, except her head.

Nancy. Hello. Oh, yes. Hello, Nancy.
