| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Stephen. And I'm Helen. And on this week's New Statement podcast, eggs, glorious |
| 0:13.2 | Easter eggs, and white reason, they were very right to comment on them. And the necessity |
| 0:18.2 | of a war against those awful Spaniards. Maybe with eggs, maybe we could throw eggs |
| 0:22.2 | at them, but rolling all our new stories into one. And unfortunately we are going to talk |
| 0:26.4 | about Ken Livingston and what has happened with the allegations of anti-Semitism against him. |
| 0:30.4 | Plus, you and I ask Helen about her experience as a very, very old media platform. |
