Unlike other, lesser, podcasts who are in an unseemly hurry to rush their recordings to market, we have again lovingly aged this episode for a couple of weeks in a hand-crafted oak hard drive, before decanting it into this presentation podcast episode that you can enjoy now, or leave for a few years to come to full immaturity. Coffs Harbour City Councillor, gadfly, womble-master, and all-round fine fellow Paul Templeton joined us to press the grapes of data into the juice of information, eventually tapping the barrels of knowledge to give you, our dear listener, these bottles of wisdom. The discerning listener will appreciate it's alarmingly complex aroma, with notes of burnt womble fur and dynamic lifter, it's unnecessarily prolonged finish, and robustly kinetic mouthfeel, unsettlingly reminiscent of a passage through American airport security.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Elisabeth Beresford, who died a week after we made this recording, and continues to inspire people to make good use of the things that they find - things that the everyday folk leave behind.
