No, I'll start. No. Go on then. I'll start. Go on then. Why? Because you've got experience being a presenter.

You think that you lend yourself more naturally to this kind of format than I do. Yeah. Obviously. Hello, I'm Mikiita Oliver. No way, that feels too... No, no, no, no, no. Oh my God, no.

I'm Mikiita Oliver. And I'm Lily Allen. So this is Miss Me, the brand new podcast for a self-presenting. Still sounding presentary. Still sounding presentary. Okay, sorry, sorry. This is Miss Me. We're going to be talking to each other, two best friends,

a transatlantic conversation through the technology that allows us to do so. Because you live in New York and I live in London. I don't want to be like, I'm a single girl in East London and you're a married mother in Brooklyn. But that is kind of what the truth is. Basically what we're doing here. Yeah. It's nice. I like that our lives look different. But yet we still have that bond. Sexless in the cities. Sexless in the cities. No. No.

But yes. But yes. But yeah. But yeah, that might come up. That might come up. Every Thursday morning, you will be getting the meaty drop. The meaty drop. Which is the heart of the show, really.

It's where we're really going to get to the crux of the matter. Matter at hand. The meaty middle. Meat off the bones. Really get our teeth dug in. I'd like the truth to be a big part of our podcast. Oh yes. And it will be. Absolutely central. Two people that have

worked in these industries of broadcasting and the music industry and the acting industry. I mean, I'm mainly going to use it as a place to vent about my children. No, I'm joking. No, true story. We're also going to try and do something each week with some cultural significance and report back to you. So whether it is like reading a book or going to see a play or seeing a film or going to a concert or something like that. And then we will talk about it. Okay, Nanny.

Someone laughed at me the other day for using the word program. I said I'd watched a really interesting program last night. They went program. That is so sweet. We will. We'll be watching a lot of interesting programmes and reporting back. Did you watch that programme last night? And then on Monday,

it'll be Lisan, bitch. Which is where we all come together as a family and we take your questions with a different theme every week. One week, the theme could be pubs and you could ask us, what's the biggest fight me and Lily have ever had in a pub? Oh, I know that one.

I think I do too. Yeah, the theme of the questions will be set by us, and you will send those questions in by email at www. No, not www. You don't have to say www. BBC. It's a programme, and you can get it on the interweb. No, not www.bbc.co.uk. It's a programme and you can go on the interweb and you send us a message.

Miss me at bbc.co.uk or on WhatsApp. You can find the number in the show notes. Go to the show notes. So that's two episodes a week. Every week. I think that's more than anyone else has got. What do you mean more than anyone else has got. Woo! What do you mean more than anyone else has got?
