| 0:00.0 | Living for your next getaway, nothing beats a vibe holiday. |
| 0:07.0 | You and your mates all in one place, chilling by the pool all day or partying all night in hotspots like Ibiza, Zanty and Cyprus. |
| 0:17.0 | Whatever your holiday vibe, book early from Birmingham airport and lock in today's price with just a |
| 0:24.2 | 60 pounds deposit per person vibe by jet two holidays this is a global original podcast. |
| 0:43.9 | Hello and welcome to full disclosure, a podcast project that is designed to provide a little bit more space than is normally available on my radio program. |
| 0:48.2 | And this week's guest, Lucy Kellerway, it's fair to say, needs an awful lot of space |
