My name is Mikita Oliver and I'm Lily Allen. In our new podcast we talk about the big issues and the little ones and everything in between in the way that only best friends do with brutal brutal honesty.

We'll be talking about things like early crushes, techno and ambition.

I've had a few celebrity crushes and for the most part they've come true.

Miss me with Lily Allen and McKeeter Oliver listen on BBC Sounds.

Thank you!

Thank you so we are in this weird limbo at the moment. We know there's an election

coming up so nothing that said or done can really mean anything. Nothing can be

What's odd about it?

It's pointed upwards and straight at the media.

Now, pretty much everything else is all maneuvering ahead of the inevitable election

and the thing is it's not just here in Britain there's actually a record

number of elections being held all around the world this year.

The total population of the country's voting around 4.2 billion

and there are already worries that the global tiny pencil industry may not be able to cope.

Of course the voting population is much smaller than the total population except in Russia
