| 0:00.0 | Hello, this is the Redbox Podcast. I'm Matt Chauley, bringing you the best of my times |
| 0:08.0 | radio show. Don't forget you can listen live on times radio for free on your DAB radio |
| 0:13.2 | on your smart speaker or on the times radio app. Coming up on today's episode then it's Wednesdays |
| 0:19.9 | so it must be PMQ's unpacked. Patrick McGuire joins me to pause the action live from the House |
| 0:24.9 | of Commons to analyse the key exchanges between Keir Starmer and Wishy Sunack. Before that though, |
| 0:30.9 | as ever, we kick off our columnist panel and on Wednesdays it's the columnist with Alibert, |
| 0:36.7 | Alice Thompson and Robert Crampton on times radio. Yes, joining us on times radio we are always nice |
| 0:44.4 | as they're always both in the studio. Alice Thompson here, morning, Alice. Morning. |
| 0:47.5 | So, Robert Crampton, morning, nice to have you with us. So, we let's talk about Joe Biden. Why not? |

| 1:35.1 | that companies collect on all of this. So, probably lots of people agree with that, but the idea |
| 1:41.2 | of regulating tech has been upon for a while, isn't Alice? Yeah, but actually, we haven't taken |
| 1:46.3 | it seriously, have we? So, that, we let it be the wildest. We talked about it, but we didn't do |
| 1:50.1 | anything about it. And I think particularly with children, that's what's interesting that he's |
| 1:52.9 | targeting the children. And I think they have had this extraordinary time, the tech companies, |
