Yes, it&#39;s finally time for the Whickber Street Shopkeepers and Street Traders Association Monthly Meeting. With Aziraphale hosting the meeting for the very first time, it&#39;s been turned into a Jane Austin-themed ball, complete with unrehearsed dancing and fancy costumes. It&#39;s silly, it&#39;s improbable, and it&#39;s absolutely delightful. </p> <p>We also talk briefly about the latest season of The Mandalorian, Saga, and (yet another) rewatch of Arcane, but really, it&#39;s all about the Ball and how we&#39;re still giggling over the &quot;Seamstress!&quot; scene.</p> <p>This week&#39;s outro is a clip from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLj4MD_PQ5I">Vibe the Grind</a> by TeknoAXE.</p> <p>Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
