I'm Louisa Zisman. And I'm Anna Williamson. Together we host the Luana podcast. We chat through our lives, the top stories of the week and we don't hold back.

0:09.6

This week we're supported by Aquasana Forest Spa. Escape the every day and immerse yourself in their multi-sensory spa experiences, inspired by the sights, sounds and sense of the natural world.

This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation, mystery, with James O'Brien.

Oh my goodness me. I mean, it's always a welcome relief from the cut and thrust of current affairs, isn't it?

0:46.5

And the grim are the news or the trickier the news, the bigger the relief that Mystery Hour can provide.

0:52.0

But this week it feels particularly welcome. Well, it does at least to me.

0:56.3

And judging by the fact that I barely mentioned it, and already you're queuing up to contribute,

1:00.5

You might be one of my new American listeners. This is very, very different from the other 14 hours of the week that we spend together.

It's also illuminating, possibly even educational.

1:37.3

The way it works is this, someone rings in with a question and someone else rings in with an answer.

2:09.2

and somebody listening to this will know it, and they'll ring in and tell you.

2:12.5

Which means, of course, that you're not allowed to look stuff up.

2:15.2

You're not allowed to Google or indeed use any search engine to get answers to the questions that somebody else asks. I wasn't joking when I mentioned the board game. A, big news on the board game front, a little heads up that I got earlier this week. We're looking at a travel edition of the mystery hour board game.
