GBA Extra - The Split

Summary: After a year on hiatus from Getting Better Acquainted I return for a one-off extra episode to continue the tradition of beginning the new year with a round up of how the last year panned out for me, and because it's 2019 I also consider how the decade has gone for me, and also how I'm feeling about the frying pan and fire of current political events. Getting Better Acquainted is still on hiatus for a while. But there's over 350 episodes in the archives so plenty to catch up on for people just discovering the show.
