Present on a podcast twice? I agree! (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hear hear

'i agree' is the definition.
('hear hear' is said to indicate agreement)

'present on a podcast twice?' is the wordplay.
'present' becomes 'here' (both can mean in attendance).
'on a podcast' shows a homophone (sound like).
'twice?' becomes 'hear' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'here' is a homophone of 'hear'.
'hear'+'hear'='HEAR HEAR'

(Other definitions for hear hear that I've seen before include "Repeatedly try" , "Show of approval" , "Well said!" , "sound supportive" , "I totally agree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
