This is a Global Player original podcast.

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

Is it? What? Already? Four minutes after 12 on a Thursday. Time for your weekly opportunity to achieve the sort of satisfaction, not ordinarily available anywhere else, on your radio dial. Yes, I know you don't have a radio dial anymore. Please don't at me to tell me that you have a radio. I told you yesterday, but it's very frustrating when I go off on tangents. In fact, I started yesterday's show show on a tangent from a tangent and went immediately to a tangent.

But I use radio dial as a figure of speech. If I drop the word dial it wouldn't feel the same.

The sort of satisfaction not ordinarily available anywhere else on your radio.

It would actually sound fine, isn't it? Should we do that, Keith? Should we drop dial?

You might be listening on the app, I suppose.

Not available anywhere else.

The sort of satisfaction is not available anywhere else?

Well, that's just not true, though, is it?

Because, you know, I can think it might mildly more satisfying things

than listening to Mystery, huh?

But they're not on the radio.

Anyway, that's it

really, as far as the introduction

goes.

to join in. If you're not familiar with this

feature, where the hell have you been?

What do you think I do this for?

My own amusement? I was away last week.
