Three horse race

The end is near for the Tories , omg thank god that the doors of hell will be closed soon!!
So who will win ? Could be a hung parliament or will voters surprise you all and decide for liberals wouldn’t that be a game changer
I suppose we need to wait and see
But all I do know is that common sense will prevail and streets will celebrate Yes we know the road head is not too be easy but to eradicate the Tories well would not that be one historic moment

Invest in your sound

Hard to listen to unless you turn your sound up. Invest in some proper microphones. This isn’t the only ITV podcast that struggles with this issue. When the show ends, the sound goes back to normal for the theme tune.
You’ve entered a competitive market. Come out properly ready!

Thanks heavens for speed adjustment !

Just subscribed and like what I’ve heard so far. Have to adjust speed to 1.25x when RP speaking at length, and back to normal again for other presenters.
