Hello, you're about to listen to a BBC podcast, so I'd like to tell you where you'll find more just like it.

I'm Izzy Lee Poulton, an assistant commissioner for BBC Sounds, which means I'm involved in the whole podcast making process.

Whether that's developing fresh formats or facilitating eye-catching artwork, I helped project manage all the details that make our podcast stand out.

At the BBC, we've got access to storytellers and experts across a huge range of subjects.

It could be psychologists, comedians, celebrities or journalists.

No podcast or day looks the same here.

So no matter what you like, check out BBC Sounds.

saw another big Space X launch, I'll be running through the countdown to the takeover. And what

have employees said about the issues thrown up by their acquisition by one of the world's most
