0:00.0	Hello and welcome to 2022. Well, at the time I'm recording this, New Year's parties are being
0:18.9	downsized or banned all around the world,
0:21.6	but as an in-steck podcast listener brimming with innovation and energy, I've no doubt you found your own way to celebrate the arrival of the new year.
0:29.7	Matthew Grant here. Now, of course, if you are a regular listener, you will know that every few months,
0:34.2	Robin and I take a break from asking everyone else what is going on in the world and reflect back on what we're seeing and what it all means. If you are one of our many
0:42.0	listeners joining us outside of the UK, then be prepared for some rather British

1:39.2	Robin, we've broken off from our Christmas preparations to catch up, but it looks like you are

1:50.6	But is that like a rifle propped up behind you? Have you become a prepper now amongst everything
1:54.2	else you're doing? It's the air rifle. It's been a very gloomy year, Matthew.
1:58.6	You know, no, it's got nothing to do with me and my state of mind.
