You're listening to an AirWave Media Podcast.

Hey guys, it's Mimi Webb. I'm the new brand ambassador for Maybelline.

Make up your mix with the glow-up playlist and shuffle your looks with my favourite Maybelline products.

Kennedy gets better the more you study.

And Tom joins me on the program today.

Tom, thanks for coming on. My history can beat up your politics.

My pleasure, Bruce, and I hope it can.
