First 90 secondsChas Licciardello· Host0:00
[upbeat music] Let's get peppy. Welcome to Pep 265. That's Planet Extra podcast. I'm Chas Licciardello, a host of Planet America on ABC Australia, and this is an official podcast of the ABC. So say hi to the ombudsman for me. On Pep, we cover all the stuff that's too nerdy for TV. If you're listening, you can find us on YouTube and Facebook at Planet Pep, and you can find highlights there as well. You can also find timestamps and show notes in our blurbs, and if you leave a comment underneath our current episode video, we're likely to see it. Do not forget to subscribe for all that peppy goodness. It all helps. You can also tweet us or Bluesky us @P-E-P-C-H-A-S-D-R-D-A-V-E. If you wanna chat to some fellow Peppas, you can join our Discord server. It's on the screen now or in the blurb of the podcast. I'm often there at 4:00 AM, see you there. [laughs] But if you wanna contact me or Lucky the Lackey privately, why not email us? That address is producer@pepthepodcast.com. That address again is producer@pepthepodcast.com. We've got a, uh, summer break coming up soon, folks. So there's summer break for America, winter break in Australia. Um, so you, you'll be getting lots of replies then [laughs] if not before. And we are recording this at 2:16 PM on Friday, the 12th of June, or that's 12:16 AM on Friday morning, East Coast time. I'm about 48 hours behind, but Jared's up to daddy duties. Talking about which,
