We dive deeper into the subject of our very first Patreon episode this month, highlighting more of our favourite bosses. Plus: look forward to the inaugural Boss Awards, where we decide who gets to win titles like ‘most ideologically correct boss’ and ‘would make a good/bad boss in real life’.

Thanks to Liam Richardson for the edits, as ever, and thanks for your support!
