Listen for: Graham's reaction when he hears the voices in Corinne's apartment, and what he decides once the danger to his career becomes clear.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
