Normally I’d try and edit any continuity announcer stuff out but in this case I left the intro / outro alone as there are brief interviews with Natalie Haynes after 3 of the episodes. Plus Nick Briggs does like to talk all over the end music! ;-)

These were all originally direct AAC rips. I’ve edited them in Adobe Audition and then created VBR MP3s using LAME 3.98.4 with -V0 setting, so they ought to be pretty transparent when compared to the original AAC files.
