You're about to listen to a BBC podcast and trust me you'll get there in a moment but if you're a comedy fan

I'd really like to tell you a bit about what we do. I'm Julie Mackenzie and I commission comedy

podcast at the BBC. It's a bit of a dream job really.

Comedy is a fantastic joyous thing to do because really you're making people laugh,

making people's days a bit better, helping them process, all manner of things.

from satire to silly shocking to soothing profound to just general pratting about. So if you

fancy a laugh, find your next comedy at BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts.

BBC Five Live.

Anyway, Ellis, let's start as we always do. How's your shame?

Pretty good because if you listen to the first series of this podcast, you'll know that my son wasn't sleeping
