First and foremost, big shout out to 95bFM's Drive Show for moving the tape deck out of the studio and not telling me, leaving me in a studio at 1AM with no way to broadcast this show. Excellent work gang; another weeks show seamlessly bleeding into the airwaves like a well oiled machine. Its all good shit.
Last week Aramco, Saudi Arabia's oil company, was listed on the Riyadh exchange. The move has been many years in the making, but has not come without its fair share of changes. Exclusively listing on their national exchange, unmet valuation targets and a smaller amount of shares available have all changed how the company will now perform, as well as global pressures surrounding the climate emergency. James talked to Rod Oram, a business and political commentator, about what this could mean not only for Saudi Arabia, but how they and their economy is viewed by the rest of the world.
Well we're all back recording from home - The gang catchs up over the phone
We still do all our regular segments - This time at least we get sports to talk about (marble racing no longer), Emmerdale and our brand new - Four Thirsty w thanks to Cassels Brewing Co. - We taste the lager this week and it's yummy!
The crew convenes for another Plato's Retreat presented by Cassels Brewing Co - through the magic of the internet/telecommunication network in the year 2020.
Level 3 has been a bit of a slog for the gang - Rob is pleased that he's getting 2 hours of Emmerdale a day though (and the PM/Ashley Bloomfield are apparently big fans). There's lots of basketball being played and that's something for Sam to be cheerful about
Otherwise they play a bunch of songs which is always a bit of fun eh
