| 0:17.8 | Welcome to Navaralife. I'm Michael Walker. I'm joined by Ash Sarkar. It's been too long. |
| 0:22.6 | I had me and Aaron on Friday. I've got me and you today. As I said on Friday, nature is being restored. |
| 0:29.6 | I'm so glad that the natural order of things has been restored because I was just having to play at Navar Alive. I made my cat |
| 0:40.9 | pretend to be you. His political analysis was, it left a lot to be desired, quite frankly. So I'm |
| 0:47.4 | glad I've got the real thing. Well, I am glad that I am more articulate and insightful than |

| 1:48.9 | I mean, also they'd be offended by me saying they'd form some kind of alliance with Netanyahu, |
| 1:52.7 | but him sharing an article by them was notable nonetheless. |
| 1:56.6 | Before we get started, I want to remind you all of the next IRL event tomorrow, Ash Sarka and |
| 2:02.3 | Molyovia McLean, coming to the Contact Theatre in Manchester. They'll be speaking to Lanrae, |
| 2:07.8 | author of We Were There, How Black Culture, Resistance and Community, shaped modern Britain. |
| 2:15.5 | Ash, is this the first time in your life you'll ever have left London? |
