Links and Show Notes

Things kick off with another segment of Pronunciation Corner plus an interrogation of some newfound Britishisms.

In Follow-Up, John has accomplished a love match, but he is asked to please pay in cash. Also, apparently Merlin quit Twitter.

There's also some pretty good material about the terrible working conditions on Sodor, and John shares a novel retirement strategy.

For this month's members-only bonus show, John has questions about Merlin's 3D printing journey.
