Chris Mason

No one else wants to be working that night.

So it's just going to be you and me manning the ship.

They found the Scots.

And I thought you were going to tell me that Newsnight was on at three in the morning because of a football match, but...

Oh, I haven't even checked that.

Would I have checked that if I were you?

Don't know if the England match is on BBC Two.

Oh, Chris, before you go, an update on our campaign to get some quotes for our poster for our Edinburgh shows.

Oh, yes, yes.

We're getting newscasters to say when and where and how they listen to newscast and then we'll put some of them on the poster instead of the critics saying, fabulous show.

So someone says, I listen to newscasts with my earpods in while my boyfriend is watching the football.

So two podcasts a day for the World Cup, please.

I was going to say that.

I wonder if we see what's going to be the trade-off between newscasters who we spend less time in the company of because they're watching football matches at three o'clock in the morning versus, if you like, those escaping the wall-to-wall, what is it, 96 match or 108 match, whatever it is.

110, yeah.

we're an oasis of football free chat well apart from now yeah the point is you can listen to newscast whenever you want so it fills in the time very well and then talking of the World Cup we've revived supporter reporter where we're looking for a newscaster who lives or happens to be in right now one of the 48 countries at the World Cup Caroline says I heard you're looking for a person in each of the World Cup participant countries I live in Germany in a small village on the biggest bend in the Rhine I love meanders

Yes, well, we're both geographers, aren't we?

Part of our early lives.

My teenage years were dominated by meanders.

Right, we've meandered enough through this episode of Newscast.
