    Episode 29 shudders into existence with a discussion of “appropriate adult behaviour” (read: hangovers) before launching into a recap of our most recent event in Prague and the amazing speakers who joined us there. Also covered: why Klaus Thompson is a big fish, sweeping generalisations about the behaviour of roasters, and an exercise in the futility of Jenn attempting to curate the discussion that happens in these podcasts.

In this talk, Dale outlines how the role of the barista will need to change if we want it to be a sustainable career and why we should go ahead and make those changes now--by investing in people--if we want to be able to keep drinking tasty coffee, full stop.

    Start your weekend off right: it's time for a dose of genuine Glanville.

Also covered: the difference between resistance to "the specialty coffee way" versus "fucking about," duties of care, why expectations matter, the best espresso in Seattle, and why Kyle would never, ever, ever compete again.
