Moving on, Louis in Whitney, Oxfordshire, has a question for us here.
Dear TCV,
Hoping there's another World Cup pod.
Yes, this is it.
Really enjoying the radio commentary, especially with the synced-up pictures.
I know you've covered commentary microphones in a previous edition of TCV, but I noticed in a BBC social media post that the Paraguayan commentators use a microphone more commonly used or seen in interviews.
I've also seen this a lot from Spanish radio commentary teams.
Is that just a preference?
Is there a reason why they do it that way?
Judging from the Paraguayan commentary, there didn't seem to be any noticeable difference in quality.
Keep up the great work.
So here's how it sounded on Five Live when Ian pointed his microphone in the direction of the Paraguayan commentary team.
What we're going to do on the halftime whistle...
we're going to try and give you a little flavor and you can listen to La Tribuna the national radio of Paraguay as Kimmich with a cross cleared well by Gustavo Gomez so here is halftime whistle and this is this is La Tribuna
That was great, wasn't it?
I had not heard that.
It sounded like he said in the midst of that commentary, Golden Seesaw.
Could that be another intended pub name?
The Golden Seesaw?
Well...
