I'm not sure how the finances work, but maybe BBC Sounds is trying to recoup some of its marketing budget with a run of live shows from the Fortunately-duo of Jane Garvey and Fi Glover.
They've recorded a couple of 'live' editions already - one in a pub in Cardiff, back in December 2018, and one at the Hay Festival, in May last year. I think the events were ticketed but free.
Now, with Vane Productions (MD Alex Fane, age 25), they're embarking on a tour of much bigger venues - including The Lowry in Salford, The Usher Hall in Edinburgh and The Royal Festival Hall in London. Top price tickets are £35. There will at each show be a so-far unnamed guest, but it's not clear if these conversations are for broadcast - there's little BBC branding on the website.
