| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everyone to the ThoughtWorks Technology Podcast. |
| 0:10.9 | I'm one of your regular host, Neil Ford, and I'm joined today with another of our regular |
| 0:15.8 | hosts. |
| 0:16.8 | Rebecca Parsons, I am another one of your regular hosts here on the ThoughtWorks Technology Podcast, and I'm the |
