00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell show podcast. Hey, this is Christian. I just

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: want to say, yes, there's been no podcast before I

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 1: get into why. I also just not say I am

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: aware that if you're getting your podcast from Apple, that

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: we've just disappeared. That isn't our fault. There's some problem

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: at Apple HQ, and much as I think we're vital

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: to radio, that don't quite see it the same way.

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: There are loads of people all over the world whose

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: podcasts have just disappeared. Anyway, that's boring. I haven't left

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: this short messages to drone on about that, other than

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: the fact that we are working with Apple to sort

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: this out asap. So sorry if we've not been there,

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: I hope you can find my words. I've been off

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,680

69
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,119

71
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,600

72
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,880

73
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,120

74
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,360
