| 0:07.0 | Hi Dominic. |
| 0:23.8 | Katie, why are we here? |
| 0:25.1 | I thought we were supposed to be on holiday. |
| 0:27.8 | Okay, hear me out. |
| 0:29.2 | The podcast is on a summer break until September, |
| 0:32.8 | but I couldn't resist popping back this week. |
| 0:35.3 | Aren't you pleased to be here? |
