Hi, you're listening to Podlitical BBC Scotland's podcast

That brings you the biggest stories coming out of Holly Roads and Westminster.

It's six minutes past two. On Thursday

the 20th of June, I'm Lucy White, a journalist based in Glasgow. And today I'm joined by, I'm

Roger Epsundee Pseudo, a journalist based in Westminster. And I'm Phil Sim, a journalist based

at the Scottish Parliament. Hello. First time in weeks we've all managed to say our name

and job description without stumbling. And being where we usually are as well, we've all managed to say our name and job description without stumbling

and being where we usually are as well we're all at our normal normal places of work which is quite

i am i concentrated a lot just to make sure i didn't mess up my words i'm not going to lie how are we all

doing hold on a minute so it's thursday the 20th. Two weeks ago. Two weeks to do.

Yeah. How hasn't it flown by? Has it? Well, I feel I feel like it has, but you know, I guess it always was going to because it's only a six-week campaign. So it's only been happening for a month. But if you think about previous elections, which feel like they go on for months, like if it hadn't been a snap election that he called now, we would have been talking about

all this stuff all the way to into autumn, which would have felt dreadfully long.

But it wouldn't have been so condensed and therefore so kind of full on all that's true.

But we also did start talking about it. We've been talking about an election. Before I went off in January, I was already sick of us speculating about election.

It's because we spent the whole time going, well, we're just in the pre-election period now, aren't we?

And also, I think, and I'm going to call this here and take a wee bit of credit,

I'm pretty sure the last podlitical before the election was called,

it's called walks like an election, talks like an election.

Is that right?

Matt's nodding at me.
