00:00:00.420 Wake up the right way with Wild Bo's Breakfast Bonanza.
00:00:07.060 Wild Bo's, rustle up a bowl of flavour.
00:00:17.860 Clang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang. 0.98
00:00:22.100 Nobody does it better.
00:00:24.900 Welcome to the Bo Show.
00:00:27.040 Welcome to Breakfast with Bo, rather.
00:00:28.580 Breakfast with Bo.
00:00:30.760 Colloquially known as the Bo Show.
00:00:33.380 I've got my cup of tea.
00:00:34.680 Good morning.
00:00:35.740 Good morning to you.
00:00:39.440 This show, we're going to talk all about what's in the news today.
00:00:45.220 I am joined by my producer, Harry.
00:00:47.980 Young Harry, how are you, sir?
00:00:49.300 Good morning.
00:00:49.920 I'm good.
00:00:51.360 Here's my young Jamie, my sidekick Simon, my comedy Dave.
00:00:57.220 And together, every morning now, we're going to go through what's in the papers, what's on all the main news websites, and let you know what's going on.
00:01:08.160 Because a lot of people, most people, right, don't really necessarily have time in the morning.
00:01:12.380 So, if you haven't got time in the mornings to go through the news, but you want to still know what's going on, what the world is going to be talking about today, well, tune in to this show.
00:01:24.560 You can just listen to it on audio, if you like, of course.
00:01:28.660 If you're driving, drive time, or you're on the train, commuting.
00:01:33.140 And let your history bro, let Uncle Bozy, tell you all about what's going on.
00:01:40.740 So, yes, that's the show.
00:01:43.340 Hopefully you'll enjoy it.
00:01:44.300 I'm sure it will sort of morph and evolve over the first few days, weeks, and even couple of months.
00:01:50.080 Maybe we'll add and take away certain features.
00:01:53.440 Maybe have some sort of ringing, phone-in via Discord section, perhaps.
00:02:00.380 Just going to, what I'll do, just to let you know, is I'll go through the papers.
00:02:03.360 I'll start with Britain.
00:02:04.780 I'm going to do the whole world, try and do the whole world.
00:02:07.040 I'll start with Britain and go through the front pages of the newspapers, like on the real telly, like on the real news telly,
00:02:15.100 and just say, and see what's in the headlines, what's in the news cycle that day.
00:02:19.000 And then go to a bunch of websites, like, I don't know, like the ITV website, the Channel 4 News website,
00:02:26.960 the Mail Online, the Express Online, the Telegraph, the Times, and on and on and on, the Guardian.
00:02:32.260 So you can see what's in the news, what everyone's talking about.
00:02:34.380 But then go to some other places in the world.
00:02:37.620 I'll probably look at, I was thinking, look at Le Monde in France, see what the French are talking about.
00:02:44.300 Look at Bild, look at what the Germans are thinking, you know.
00:02:48.760 Maybe look at Russia Today.
00:02:50.840 Oh no, Russia Today's blocked in this country, so it'll be like the Moscow Times or something.
00:02:56.080 See what the Ruskies are on about.
00:02:58.420 And then I was thinking maybe, you know, maybe have a look at one of the biggest news websites in India or China.
00:03:06.300 Definitely have a look at China, right.
00:03:08.440 Maybe Australia, I don't know.
00:03:10.360 And then get to the United States.
00:03:14.180 Again, west to east, going around the world, do a circuit of the world.
00:03:17.700 Look at like the LA Times or something.
00:03:20.820 And then look at maybe something that's going on in the middle of America.
00:03:25.620 Something from Texas, maybe.
00:03:28.500 Chicago.
00:03:29.720 Something like that.
00:03:30.320 And then the old east coast, look at the New York Times, the Washington Post, stuff like that.
00:03:37.600 And do a roundup.
00:03:39.800 And so that's what we're going to do.
00:03:42.860 And then on top of that, if there's time, I may have a look day to day, depending.
00:03:48.360 Have a look at things that are just in maybe like science news.
00:03:52.220 What's going on on the cutting edge of science and technology.
00:03:56.340 Something like that.
00:03:57.100 Or if there's any funny stories, sort of and finally stories.
00:04:01.720 You know, maybe something like that.
00:04:03.360 Or space news.
00:04:04.500 If there's anything new and interesting happening in the world of space.
00:04:09.040 Because that's one of my favourite things.
00:04:12.360 And then if there's time, perhaps, maybe look at a segment that's on this day in history.
00:04:20.340 You know, on any particular given day, there's always something interesting that happened in history.
00:04:27.100 But I think each day will be a unique thing.
00:04:29.740 Some days will be slow news days.
00:04:32.240 And some days will be chocked full of interesting things.
00:04:35.280 And some days will be absolutely dominated by one thing.
00:04:37.960 That's just the way the news cycle often goes, isn't it?
00:04:40.820 So I hope that sounds interesting to you.
00:04:44.800 I hope you will tune in and give it a whirl.
00:04:49.760 I hope to see you there.
00:04:50.940 Thank you.
00:04:51.320 Thank you.
00:04:52.320 Thank you.
00:04:52.720 Thank you.
00:04:52.980 Thank you.
00:04:53.160 Thank you.
00:04:53.680 We'll be right back.
