| 0:00.0 | Hi, it's producer Chris from the Bugle here. Did you know that I have a new series of my podcast, |
| 0:04.9 | Richie Firth Travel Hacker, out now. It's the show where Richie Firth and I talk about how to make |
| 0:10.4 | travel better in our very special way. In this series, we discuss lime bikes, Tesla's, the London |
| 0:18.1 | Overground and a whole bunch of other random stuff that possibly involves |

| 1:19.5 | that I accidentally opened a portal into another dimension by an email glitch. |
| 1:25.7 | Oh, that is always handy when that happens. |
| 1:27.2 | Yeah, and so recently what's been happening is every day I've been getting an episode of a podcast, |
| 1:32.0 | like a 15-minute podcast, that appears to be voiced by an alternate universe version of me, Alice Fraser. |
| 1:38.7 | It's very surreal, hearing my own voice being incredibly funny. |
