Tropicon and Taking It Easy Once You’re Finished – Episode 50

Fifty episodes! We’ve hit the half century! Thank you very much for lending me our ears since 2012!

Well, Tropicon was a resounding success on Saturday (and also, as it was on the day of my birth, an awesome costume party), so it’s dominating today’s show. I reckon there’s something we can learn from the Tropicon experience about how we treat ourselves and the pay we (want to) get paid for.
