| 0:00.0 | If I could give you three wishes, what would they be? Everlasting life, perhaps, never-ending happiness, |
| 0:11.1 | or maybe just enough money to forget the cost of living. I ask you this because, for the next few |
| 0:16.3 | episodes, well, we're doing things a little differently here on the daily. To start 2023, we've gathered a few names you might recognise from across sport, politics and entertainment |
| 0:26.5 | who each have different dreams for their future. |
| 0:30.0 | I want to find out how they'd use their three wishes to change the world, their country and their own lives. |

| 1:35.1 | was born. The band went on to become one of the most influential pairings in dance music, |
| 1:40.1 | and though they split back in 2004, Roshin has continued to release music, changing the shape of dance and electronic music along the way. |
| 1:49.0 | In 2020, she released her most critically acclaimed album to date, Rochene Machine. |
| 1:54.0 | I spoke to Rohing from her home in Where Else, But I Beather. |
| 2:04.2 | It's a pleasure to have you on this special edition. |
