Leading Britain's Conversation.

This is a podcast from LBC.

James O'Brien.

Mystery is underway.

Just a last word on that life expectancy story, because it tallies with an awful lot of the conversations that we've had together.

The weird thing, of course, is that the poor don't seem to care that the rich live longer,

more comfortable, healthier and happier lives than they do.

If you can't get them to be angry about this, even though they're livid about migration and political correctness, then there really is no hope.

It's almost like it was all planned, isn't it?

And now, much light affair, your weekly opportunity to achieve the sort of enlightenment and satisfaction that is not ordinarily available anywhere else on your radio dial.

The way it works is this. You have, in the back of your mind, somewhere on your mind, a question to which you know there must be an answer, but you haven't actually been able to find it. It's half-term as well at the moment, so I think we should have a special

half-term flavour to Mystriah. There are various rules and regulations governing, letting

youngsters on the radio. But I get away with it every day, so it can't be that stringent.

0-3-4-5-60-90973 is the number you need, if you have a question.

If you hear somebody else ask a question to which you know the answer,

then, well, you know what to do.

You ring in with it and provide us with the fruits of your knowledge.

You're not allowed to look stuff up.

It's a celebration of knowledge, of illumination, education, enlightenment.

It can be silly or serious, and the only thing I'll do is ask for you to prove that you do actually know what you're talking about.

But you don't really have to work very hard to do that.

You can say you saw it on telly last night, a little bit of detail.
