Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the podcast with me, Steve Richards.

Now, I hope you're all enjoying the Easter break or the Easter recess, whatever you call it.

Some of you I know will be working, some will be running, baking,

and all kinds of things going on. And as it's Easter, I thought I'd give you a kind of bonus special.

And it is a recording of the live show at King's Place a few days ago. It was a packed audience,

the balconies. We had mics all over the place on the stalls.

And of course it was stream live too. We had people watching in Jordan, New York. All kinds of

things were going on. And anyway, this is the live show. And I hope you continue to have a great Easter.

Hello, welcome, welcome.

Yeah, wee.

Thank you so much for coming tonight on, I know it's a, you must all be soaked. I'm soaked, everyone's soaked, but thank you very much for coming along.

And as ever, we have got a streamed audience as well, around the world,

people in all kinds of places watching on the stream.

Now, we have got a lot of things to cram in our time together.

It's not as if there's bugger all going on, is it?

So if you've got trains to catch, forget it.

We're here until about three in the morning.

But if it's any comfort, when we do leave, we'll have made sense of it all.

And this is, could I just ask, have any of you not been before, any in the audience here in

King's Place, a new people? Oh, wow, fantastic. Thank you. Yeah, well, it's great. And, well,

just to contextualize for you, what we do is sort of delve deep.

And by the end, everyone's miserable and depressed.
