                          In this episode, we cover what we've been up to in our long running, often mislabeled segment, "How ya been?" We then follow up with a suggestion from the newsletter to talk about finances - I know, I know, we're covering "sensible" topics. Don't worry, the advice is anything but that. Lastly, we explore what makes us jump out of bed excited in the morning... Or something.

                                  Welcome to a new minisode of the randInt() podcast!


                                  This time, we put on our analogy hats and try and explain complex (to us at least!) concepts as simply as possible (aka ELI5 or explain like I'm 5). With a small twist - we're also going to try and explain the concepts in 5 minutes.

                                  So if you've ever been curious about what a Short Sell or what Polyphasic Sleep is, then this episode is for you!If you like Pokemon cards or chocolate bars, be prepared to have your favourite things massacred as analogies... (sorry!).
