| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Political Party podcast and a guest with a difference today, which |
| 0:14.2 | is always great to get guests from different fields about comedians on in the past, as |
| 0:18.5 | well as politicians and advisors. But today is really different. Greg Herbert, so many |
| 0:24.5 | of you will know as a best-selling author. You cannot go through a bookshop without seeing |
| 0:28.4 | his books in there. I just read his latest one into the fire on Holodane. It's absolutely |
| 0:32.5 | superb. Particularly as someone who usually just reads political biographies and books |
