Today, Rachel Reeves has refused to rule out tax rises in a speech laying the groundwork ahead of the budget. The Chancellor told gathered journalists “the world has thrown even more challenges our way” in a speech which seemed to confirm tax rises on 26th November.

  • Hello, our children in need 25 hour long podcastathon gets ever closer.

  • It's next Thursday, you know, which is actually very, very soon.

  • And the way you can help us is by sending in your voice notes,

  • explaining how long you've been listening to newscast,

  • when you listen to newscast and any memorable newscast moments,

  • the theme being there, the passage of time.

  • We had an excellent example of the genre from newscaster, Sarah.

  • I started listening to newscast when the Liztrust premiere ship was crashing down around us and I needed minute by minute updates and analysis of everything that was going on.

  • I'm sorry to tell you that I often listen to newscast in bed as I am falling asleep,

  • but that doesn't mean you're boring.

  • It means you have very relaxing voices and I like having something to think about

  • as I drift off to sleep.

  • My newscast special moment would probably be that when my boyfriend started spending the night over at my place,

  • I had to explain to him about my night time podcast listening.

  • And initially, he wasn't super on board with it, but now when we wake up in the morning,

  • he likes to ask me what I listened to from the night before,

  • what bits I heard, what bits I like, and what I think about the news.

  • And he talks about you guys like you're my friends.

  • So I think it's a really good sign for him and for us.

  • So thank you very much for the podcast and good luck with your podcasting marathon.
