Getting You Home On Friday5. Aunt Agatha, Watches and a Firm StoolIt's a very special Friday with a loving letter from everyone's favourite Aunt Agatha, as well as our two Aussie Farmers taking it easy outback and the eccentric team, Paranormal Patrol, dodging that which they wish to find (Ghosts, it's Ghost's). Puns, dry humour and smiles all round for this Friday, no matter the weather. *We acknowledge that the introduction of "Ladies and Gentlemen" is not as inclusive as one would like it to be, but was written and recorded separately in a different time, reflecting a different era. We acknowledge all unique and glorious individuals.
