0:10.0	Thank you very much for listening to Season 2. This is the final episode of Season 2. It's been a pleasure making this for you.
0:16.2	I hope you've enjoyed listening to them. It's been a real pleasure actually because every single week we've gained
0:20.8	listeners. There's always been more listeners than the week before. So thank you so much for that.
0:24.3	Thank you so much for listening and streaming. And also everyone that's tweeted and Instagrammed as well.
