PHIL
Hello and a very warm welcome to episode 0422 Five in the Eye - Colourful Radio’s news review show, broadcast every Friday morning on DAB in London and the South East, as well via apps and online streaming. This is Phil Woodford in the hotseat after a couple of weeks away. Thanks so much to Olu Alake and ‘Judge’ Bob McAra for standing in for me.
MICHAEL
And joining Phil via Zoom this week, it’s me - Michael Ohajuru - revealing that our top story is going to be Labour’s green backsliding. Following the Tory win in the Uxbridge by-election, critics have accused the party of going lukewarm about their policies to stop the world from heating up.
PHIL
And for story number two, it’s the worrying prospect of the billionaire Elon Musk controlling half the satellites in space.
MICHAEL
For story number three, we ask just how spicy do you like your food? Entrepreneur Pat Hinds is riding the wave of interest in hot sauce and he joins us on the show to tell us about his passion: Guyanese food.
PHIL
What’s story number four? Well, it’s the man who has become a professional at attending stag parties. He’s spent fifty grand travelling the world with prospective grooms that he doesn’t even know!
MICHAEL
And finally this week, to wrap up the five, we head for the zoo in China where it seems as if the bears in the enclosure might actually be human beings dressed up in costumes!
PHIL
Have you been moonlighting again, Michael? And that’s this week’s Five in the Eye!
