The Flower That Costs More Than Your House!
About this episode
It's Tulipmania baby! "What's that?", we hear you ask. The Bloom Festival-Wrestlemania crossover we were all hoping for? Unfortunately, nope. But it's probably even more interesting! Neil has persuaded economist, broadcaster and author David McWilliams into talking us through the tulip bulb mania that swept across 17th century Holland, a time when one bulb could cost 20 times the wage of a skilled worker!
If that's not enough we also get an update on Dave's World Record and Neil explains how your dog's face is manipulating you.
Don't say we don't spoilt you.
