44:53 – The first episode of 2016! Join Ruben on a stunning morning in Sydney’s Circular Quay as he watches the ferries go past the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Also inexplicable discussion on traffic helicopters, naming anime episodes in Plex, puddled iron in the Eiffel Tower, palm trees, Running Man, Americans who like Vegemite, disappointing San Fran coffee, alternate terms for podcasting, The Rocks precinct, and what’s possibly Australia’s oldest surviving house.

46:14 – An unsurprisingly holiday-themed episode of the show, with discussion on musical cheer (or hipster lack thereof!), Christmas in the media (with Australian news clips), fond family memories, and likely far more stuff that your host can’t recall because he’s royally stuffed with Christmas Eve dinner and can barely think. Seasons Greetings!

Clara from the Snake Tea Podcast joins in the pontifications about this beautiful little Australian city as we wander late at night. So much has stayed the same, yet so much has changed. Goodbye, Isobar!
