BBC sounds music radio podcasts.
We're recording this episode of newscast at 06:20, which means Chris has done all his broadcasting for the afternoon.
Indeed.
Hello.
And James Cook has just done a momentous thing in the life of any broadcast journalist.
James, explain.
Oh, I'm actually shaking.
I can feel my heart going boom, boom, boom, boom.
And I have just come off air from.
And it seems so silly because we do millions of lives.
How many live broadcasts have we all done?
But I've just come off here from the radio four six pm news bulletin, which we call the 1800, which is the sort of pinnacle gold standard bulletin of record, and I was live on it, and you're never live on it, or at least that's not true.
You two have probably been live on it many times, but I haven't.
And it was stressful.
Yeah, it's that thing, isn't it, just to explain to newscasters, because the vast majority of the reports, most of the time are you very carefully written, very carefully edited, and then very carefully read out.
There is an expectation of perfection.
And of course, when you're doing something live, there's a high probability you're going to trip over yourself and stumble and all that kind of stuff.
I always insist, you know, when I do those that they say in the little line introducing me, Chris Mason, reporting live, which I always think hopefully means brackets, you might foul it up.
Well, they did that to me there live from Edinburgh.
And I thought, I thought, as they said it, even though I was focusing on the script, I thought, they're only saying that in case I messed this up.
