| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Greg Jenna and good news, Your Dead to Me is back for a new series. Here we go. Yes, we'll explore Emperor Nero's notorious reign with Professor Marybeard and Patton Oswald. I would not want my daughter having the remote control, not alone an empire. We'll dissect the decadent life of Philippe Duke-Dor-Leon with Tom Allen. I've often tried to pretend I'm an aristocrat and being very quickly knocked down. And there'll be so much more with comedians like Olga Koch, Mike Mosniak and Rihalina. I'm excited. You're dead to me. The comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Listen first on BBC Sounds. BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts. |
| 0:37.9 | Hello and a happy new year to you. |
| 0:39.7 | I'm James Gallagher, and this is the Inside Health podcast. |
| 0:43.2 | I hope you've had a lovely break and are sticking to any new year's resolutions |
| 0:46.2 | and are ready to take on whatever 2022 is going to throw at us. |
| 0:50.9 | Well, speaking of which, Omicron, have you had it yet? |
| 0:53.9 | Somehow I've managed to dodge it, but I can feel it closing in around me. Quite a few friends are down with Omicron at the moment. If you've got any questions about this variant, then we want them. So email Inside Health, thatbbc.com, or tweet me at James T. Gallagher, because we're going to dedicate the whole of next week's programme to answering them. But for now, our resident GP, Margaret McCartney, not only wants me in shorts, but she's dragging me out of the warmth of the office. So we're going to go for it? We're doing it. Yeah? How far are we going to run? You can run twice as far as I do. |
| 1:28.2 | No, that's not true. |
| 1:44.6 | We'll just take her time, just find a good pace. You know, it's a beautiful day. What way do you want to go? Left or right? Let's go. Left of right. Okay, excellent. So Margaret, lots of people will be thinking about New Year's resolutions and taking up running. Yeah. Are you a big fan of New Year's resolutions? |
| 1:45.1 | No. |
| 1:44.6 | I'm not one for that because I generally break something. What about you? Do you make New Year's? I never made New Year's resolutions. Part of my theory is it's a really stupid time of you to do it. I'm probably wrong, but if I'm going to take up running or something, I'm going to do it in spring. That's when I started running for the first time. I'm not going to do it in January. But your Twitter feed is full of, or do they call it when you're |
| 2:06.2 | showboating about how fit you are? Oh, I'm always showboating about how fit you are. Well, the reason for that |
| 2:10.5 | was James, because for years, I did nothing. And I just felt other people did exercise. And I really felt as though that wasn't my tribe. |
| 2:19.7 | It was in ages to realise that actually it's possible to find exercise but you quite enjoy. |
| 2:26.3 | Which were we going? |
| 2:27.3 | That was a fountain, we're not really sweaty. |
| 2:29.3 | No. |
| 2:30.3 | And you didn't have to do it with the primary purpose of losing weight or getting fit. |
| 2:35.9 | You could just do it because it makes you feel good. |
| 2:38.1 | But they wanted us to come back. |
| 2:39.8 | We were in our flow. |
| 2:40.9 | We're being caught by the producers. |
