0:00.0	Okay, a bit of news here from TGC Towers. The main pod will be returning next Tuesday, June,
0:06.2	to the second of June, if that's the way you want to do it. I know you've been getting like
0:10.4	a weekly pod, IPL styles, but right now the IPL does not go forever and there's so much other
0:15.8	cricket happening in the world. Privatisation. There's an enormous series coming out,
0:20.2	England, New Zealand. Is it making, is it make or break for this England setup? Will anything ever break this setup? I don't know. But I'm looking forward to diving deep, Pepessa. Yeah, and I understand people's confusion. I mean, they've been tuning into this pod every single week covering this very important IPL narration, this important story of the IPL that we've called the Asian century.
0:39.3	But yes, we move on to the quaint factor of international cricket, of test cricket.
0:45.9	I'm looking forward to narrating the Northern Summer.
0:49.3	What I've picked up so far, and we're going to have to do our research is that after England's 4-1 defeat

1:30.9	Now, it goes beyond that because that also feeds into the Australia-Bungaladesh series in Darwin and Mackay.
1:33.1	That's in August.
1:34.2	And if you're going to be in Darwin or if you find yourself living there, we will be doing
1:39.9	a live show as part of the Darwin Festival, many enormous acts, and then also us for some
1:46.4	reason, doing our thing on the main stage, I believe it is, on Wednesday, August.
