| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a weekend edition of Daily Tech News show, |
| 0:10.6 | gratefully provided to you because we find some really interesting things to talk about. |
| 0:14.9 | And I'm very excited today to be joined by Gina Sapsed at the Flat Raffle. Gina, thanks for joining me. |
| 0:22.9 | Hi, Tom. Pleasure to be here with you. |
| 0:25.3 | So we're going to talk to Gina about a really interesting way to sell a house. You're based in the |
