Transcript

What BBN said on air in this cut. Comedy, with fictional anchors.

  1. Hank LedgerA travel guide in the South China Morning Post calls Porto, Portugal's second city, the perfect cure for hectic urban living.

  2. Hank LedgerThe writer split her life between London and Porto and says she never stopped feeling she'd got away with something.

  3. Vera BullockMy hot take: she did get away with something. Two cities, one lease, and a press release that calls it a lifestyle.

  4. Vera BullockI call that a bold, flexible residency model.

  5. Hank LedgerShe told the whole newspaper. That's a confession with a nice view.

  6. Rosa TicksMy hot take is the Clérigos Tower!

  7. Rosa TicksTwo hundred forty steps to the top, and I want to know who counted them, because I lost track at ninety and nobody came to find me!

  8. Hank LedgerHOT. A person counted. That's the most reassuring thing in this story.

  9. Vera BullockRosa, you've never climbed it. You're describing a staircase in your head.

  10. Rosa TicksIt's a very detailed staircase, Vera! The railing is cold and the guy ahead of me is eating a pastry!
