A11E010 Pits and Stones (A Rathbone of Contention)

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “A Rathbone of Contention,” in which a new business called The Electric Palace is being built on the old site of Blackgaard’s Castle, and who should be the franchisee but Bart Rathbone? He’s eager to get the store up and running, and he’s willing to cut metaphorical corners to do it. He’d cut literal corners if it would help. But will unethical business practices really get him everything he wants? Or is there a reason to do things "the right way" the first time? Also, the platonic form of Rodney, manifesting electrician skills, Blackgaard’s business sense, and the follow-up to the Richard Maxwell checklist: the Rathbone Litmus Test. Just ask yourself, are you the Bart in this situation?
