Hello.
The good thing about newscast being every day of every week of the year is that, well, we all get to experience everything that happens in the news throughout the year, or at least most of it.
So we thought that me, Chris and Laura could get together and just look back at some of the biggest stories that have happened in the UK during all those many, many episodes of newscast and kind of be like podcasting ghosts of newscasts past to steal a Christmas metaphor.
So that's what you're gonna hear now, a look back at all the big things or some of the big things that happened in this year.
And just to say, so many of our memories were election related, that we've done a whole separate special election look back that will be hitting your podcast feeds very soon.
So here is me, Chris and Laura looking back at everything else that we feel was important in the UK in 2024.
Newscast, newscast from the BBC.
Two cheeks of the same backside.
Well, I don't think I'm that bad at politics.
People do call me for short.
