Would you pay a single lump sum for a lifetime of something, or has the subscription model quietly ruined our ability to value anything at all? Christian has a figure in mind. Dion thinks it's too high. Somewhere in there is a question about whether a lifetime membership is a promise or a Ponzi scheme.

Then: what happens when you hold a very new, very smooth human up next to your own face in a mirror? Christian has been doing this daily and has notes. Josh maintains he doesn't really look at other people's skin closely enough to judge - which raises the question of whether any of this matters to anyone but you. Also, at what point does a person become middle-aged, and who decided the Middle Ages get to stay in the middle forever while the rest of us keep moving?

Plus: can you still hit the same peaks of joy you hit at twenty-five, and what does it take to get there? Why do the traditions with the most people invested in them work the best? And is skincare an elaborate global myth, given that skin already performs its one essential function - keeping your organs on the inside - regardless of how it looks?

**Nominated for 'Best Comedy' at the Australian Podcast Awards 2018 & 2019**

Have you ever wondered if it’s acceptable to bring food to someone's house and take it back home if no one has eaten it? Well if you have, then you’re in good company. Christian, Dion and Josh are Welcome to Patchwork: An Australian comedy podcast that thinks too hard about the monotony of life. By debating the obvious, challenging social conventions and improvising sketches, we're more concerned with the crumbs than the cookie.
