The fifth episode of my Life of Leisure contains...just one thing, actually. (Subscribe to the show here) This week I'm taking a temporary detour from the RDsLoL formula.  There will be no three pillars, no Katamari Music, 'Stuff' to speak of...not even any House Hunters. In taking this path for episode (1.5), I feel I'm righting a perceived wrong. You'll understand more as you listen, but for now, just understand that I've been meaning to introduce you to a friend of mine.  Some of you will already know this individual, others will not. Sorry to be so cryptic, but it wouldn't be an effective tease if there wasn't an appropriate element of mystery.  So please take my word that you'll enjoy the episode, and click away.
