Hello and welcome to this week and ring your culture. I am Liz Kelly. We took just a quick break

0:09.5

last week for the holiday, but I am back bringing you the highlights from the Rager Podcast Network.

0:14.2

This week on the site we wrote about Armand Hammer, Jack Antenov, James Franco,

0:18.4

Claire McNier wrote about a trivia game called HQ that, to be honest, behind the scenes, nearly

1:24.5

I, you know, because I'm from the States, you don't grow up with the same understanding of

1:30.5

of the royal family. And so while I now understand very clearly, there's a global interest there,

I didn't know much about him. And so the only thing that I had asked her when she said she wanted

1:41.8

to set us up was, I had one question. I said, well, is he nice? Because if he wasn't kind,
