0:00.0 | This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation, Mystery Hour with James O'Brien. |
0:10.9 | Three minutes after 12 is the time, and this is it, your weekly opportunity to achieve the sort of satisfaction, not ordinarily available anywhere else. |
0:20.8 | On your radio dial, the way it works is this. |
0:22.6 | You have a little mystery currently marauding or meandering around the back of your brain. |
0:27.6 | A who, a why, a what, a where, or when, or whither or perhaps a wherefore. |
0:31.6 | And you want satisfaction. You want an answer. You know there will be an answer out there, |
