Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics with me Steve Richards. Thank you for tuning in and we've got so much to get through today.

We always have, but we seem to have even more to get through today.

Before I start, my regular reminder, next Monday, October the 19th,

Rock and Roll Politics is live at King's Place, socially distanced, or via a stream.

And we will have the chance to delve more deeply even than we do in the podcast because we've got the bliss of time and the drama of a live event.

And it just follows the pivotal EU summit at the end of this week where we will

know I suspect whether Britain is to emerge from this drama with no deal or a deal of some sort

so there will be that to reflect on and of course the continuing moving drama of COVID,

which I suspect will have moved again by next Monday. So you can get tickets to be live,

socially distanced, but right there for the live event at King's Place or for the streaming

tickets. And I know this podcast is global

these days. I'm getting emails from people from around the world. If the time difference is

weird, if you buy a stream ticket, you can watch it any time for a week. You can watch it

live if you want or any time for a week. And that means you can watch it again and again.

I mean, what a barking.

Anyway, that's rock and roll politics, the live show Monday, October the 19th.

And before I get going, thank you so much for your brilliant questions.

I've noticed there's a kind of theme running through the questions.

Nothing's due with politics,

but what you're doing while you're listening to the podcast, because I assumed a very young

athletic audience all running 5K or 10K, because the duration of this podcast works perfectly for a 5K

run or a 10K run if you're really fast.
