0:00.0	Good morning, good evening. Wherever you are, Matthew Grant here. It's August. Half the world is a
0:13.4	holiday and maybe you are too lying by the pool or on the beach. But we've had some sun here
0:19.6	in London so things aren't too bad,
0:21.0	and things are looking up for your podcast too. Now, Robin Merton's was feeling particularly
