We're at war. We are at war. We're at war and we're ill equipped. Nobody has given us any weapons or armour. Like we're naked. We're fully naked. Vulnerable flesh exposed. Yeah. And the enemy is running away from us.

Guys come back I want to fight. That is the most perfect analogy of thing I've ever heard. It's a war. They've got weapons. We are naked and alone, but they are running away from us in their droves.

Hello, me again, Amy Gledhill, but this time I'm with... Not Harriet Kemsley. Whoa! WTF! What's going on? I'm with bloody Ian Smith. Offer to Northern News podcast. Yes, a podcast that's not about the news.

Don't worry, single ladies. No, it's not about the news. It's not about being single. It's not about being single. It's about the North. And all of our stories are about couples. That is not the truth Ian. No, not technically true. It's weird stuff.

It's funny stuff that's going on up North that we're reporting back on. Things like... Pure evil blackbird named Derek terrorising Yorkshire village and attacking children. Woman in tears after spotting spitting image of dead dog in bath mat. And we've got special guests. We're talking about people like Phil Wang, Jessica Nappet, Ed Campbell and Ross Noble who joined us in the studio. Woohoo!

Yeah! So that's Northern News starting next Thursday, the 1st of May and then every Thursday after that. Join us!
