Here is a transcript of what is heard in this episode:

Do you work or study?
I work in software development at a large organisation in this city.   How would you describe the layout of your workplace?
My workplace is made up of several large office rooms with three or four workers in each room. Everyone has a desk and each office usually has a small table with an electric kettle for coffee and tea. We’re a small organisation, so the CEO works alone from the room that doubles as our company’s main meeting room. It has a large table and a whiteboard.   What do you do every day after you get up?
The first thing I do is make a thermos of coffee while checking news headlines on my phone. Then I shower and get ready for work. I don’t usually eat breakfast at home because there is a small and inexpensive cafe next to our building.   Do you normally go to bed early?
Yes, I’m almost always in bed by shortly after 9. I have a bad habit of watching media on my phone before bed, which I’ve read can disturb sleep patterns, but I’m nevertheless completely dead to the world by about 10 o’clock.

Is your daily routine going to change in the future?
No, barring some unforeseen change to my employment, I don’t think it will.   Do you usually remember your dreams after you get up?
No I don’t, and I don’t particularly want to remember them. I find switching from one reality to another disorienting. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I had a dream I could recall!
