Happy Halloween!
It has been a while since I devoted an episode to celebrating Halloween... With Halloween falling on Saturday, the day my podcast usually comes out, I decided to do one this year.

Gutting your home is NOT the way to middle-power prosperity:
"changes follow lobbying by the oil & gas industry in the form of a literal wishlist...
