Hello and welcome to podcast number 10 from the important broadcast.

Ten years of this show, can you believe it?

I find it weird that we only do one a year.

It's so odd.

It goes against everything that normal broadcasters stand for.

But 10 years, a decade of important podcasting.

Now, Joe, you want to pick me up on something, I believe, about this show that people are about to hear.

Well, it's quite fun, really, because we get to...

Oh, yeah.

There's a bit of time travel going to happen.

Yeah, there is, yeah.

So right now, what day is it? Well, right now, it is Friday. Yeah, and that's the beautiful thing with the podcast. You can have it any time, can you? Any time you like. But for us right now, it's Friday. Yes. Why are we doing the show on Friday? Well, the beast from the east too is on its way. Okay? So I'm always a bit skeptical ever

since the John Ketley days of weather broadcasters because I sat next to a newsreader for every

day for like 18 months and sometimes when he wanted to do the weather and he'd forgotten, he'd

literally just look out the window and go, highs of 19. And no one ever checked.

So like the fact that the Beast from the East is nearly upon us and we just had one made me think,

well, perhaps we should pre-record this week's show rather than do it live in case I don't make it to London because I live outside of London.

No, no, no, no. It's a... So I thought very sensible.

No, no, it is very sensible. Thank you. I want to be there for the listener. It just... If I'm being honest, it made my Friday a little bit busy. Sure, of course. Yeah, good. It'll make your Sunday less busy, though, won't it? Well, no, because I'll still have to be here to press play. Good, good.

So no.
