    Am I Ready for a Goldfish?

    It's the series 5 finale, and we're closing out in style, with a pop quiz, a game show, 3 problems solved, and more book, film and music recommendations than you can shake a stick or a carrot at. From Studio Ghibli to Kate Bush, we've got it all.   Please note that this podcast contains strong language, spoilers, and very, very bad advice.
