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.

Hello and welcome to TechLife on the BBC World Service, the programme exploring how technology impacts the globe.

I'm Shona McCallum and this week I'm recording somewhere unusual.

I'm in the car park of our studios.

Why? We're bringing you this special episode focused on electric vehicles. And helping us to guide through that is TechLife's Alastair Keane, who's with me.

Hi, Shona. And yeah, we're standing right next to a charging point. These come in all kinds of different shapes and sizes.

And it's where you connect your car to charge your battery.

We'll plug this car in later, have a go at it.

if they're going to switch to electric.

We'll be talking about charging, we'll be talking about batteries and the cost of it all.
