Hey Blurtstars
Can you handle the cold? Out of the frying pan into the freezer. Winter has definitely settled in many parts of the country as we shiver to the coldest week of the year so far.
What better thing to do on a cold winters' day, or night, than snuggling up under the blanket and check out Wot's On The Box. The Kegsta will be reviewing "The Shrink Next Door". And then Wencee will turn to a family animated show called "The Owl House".
Then on Chinese Takeaway Wencee brings to you some of the fabulous inventions the Chinese have brought to the world. While the Kegsta will be blurting about Xi Jinping philosophy.
So sit back, put on your listening muffs, and check out what The New Blurt has to talk about this week.
Tune in and find out on https://youtube.com/@thenewblurt7773, with Wencee and the Kegsta.
