You're about to listen to a BBC podcast and I'd like to tell you a bit about the

podcast I work on. I'm Dan Clark and I commissioned factual podcasts at the BBC.

It's a massive area but I'd sum it up as stories to help us make sense of the forces shaping the world.

What podcasting does is give us the space and the time to take brilliant BBC journalism

and tell amazing compelling stories that really get behind the headlines.

And what I get really excited about is when we find a way of drawing you into a subject

you might not even have thought you were interested in.

Whether it's investigations, science, tech, politics, culture, true crime, the environment,

you can always discover more with a podcast on BBC Sounds. Right, we're back. That's as fan theory as we're going to get. No Twitter announcements, no big

unveiling. I'm expecting a big sort of banner or something welcome back nuggets

come up a way he's home

I actually snuck into the BBC today after this summer

head down and avoid all out contact but But it's good to be back in, seeing some familiar faces.

There's a fool.

We're not you anymore for unfortunate reasons or fortunate reasons

depending on we're looking upon upon it but it's good

to be bad me like you summer dwell you look really fit I've got to be honest as I'm on the back this morning

yeah as your meet inspired you you you're a friend of the stars and I'm I'm down I've dropped down a level now
