You are listening to the Global Countdown, first broadcast on the briefing on the 22nd of August.
And here he comes.
Our senior correspondent Fernanda Augusta Pacheco has literally burst into the studio.
You're not normally one who moves at a massively remarkable pace, but the energy with which Faye has just arrived is really what wonderful because I suspect that this is a tone that he will be setting for today's Global Countdown.
Now, when we were talking about this before we came on air, I said, where are we going?
And usually you say, I don't know, Colombia, Uzbekistan, you know, a discernible place with a, with a national boundary.
We're going, ladies and gentlemen, and I've written this down to a light breeze on a starry summer evening.
Now, do I hear the sound of a barrel being scraped here, Faye, or are we going into a brand new inspiring direction?
We're going to a brand new inspiring direction, of course.
And you know, I added a new, a couple of new tracks to the playlist, I think from next week you'll be able to see.
And I realized that there's something common to them.
They can, I feel it.
It's a kind of late summer mood, you know, so it is breezy, it's nothing over the top, but you can still dance to as well.
It's very optimistic but nostalgic at the same time.
Is this like a slightly tipsy playlist?
Yeah.
Okay.
When I actually create a playlist, I always imagine someone with a cocktail in their hands.
If they don't drink, it can be a mocktail as well.
Listen, I'm very open minded, but yes, you're very right.
