About The Small Print, After Dark

From the publisher's feed

Every week, Wullie reads one real piece of official small print, very slowly, with a soft piano underneath. Butter grading standards. Tax-form instructions. The rules for what you may not post. All of it public, all of it true, and none of it you need to remember.
