0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Flee Charge Plus podcast. I'm Helen Chersky and today we are
0:26.9	covering one of those topics that's really important but we don't talk about enough and that is
0:33.0	the right to repair. We live in a world where we're constantly urged to buy lots and lots of new
0:39.4	things and if something breaks we're often told it's just cheaper and easier to buy a new one.
0:44.3	But if you just take a tiny step back it's obvious that that is ridiculous. It's likely that

1:46.3	London and he you've probably heard or seen on radio or TV he is properly passionate about this
1:52.2	and I'm sure that after the podcast you will be too. But just before we start here's a word for
1:57.3	most sponsors.

2:14.6	back into inventing the future. My energy is putting the eye back into inspiring a nation.
