Show Notes: S01, E05 - We Have A Problem
After recording the first four episodes of Agony Art, we realised that we're just like you, and we have issues too. So, in this episode, we take a break from solving listener problems, to work on our own instead.
Here's all the art we recommended.

Corrections
- Not really a correction, but Aaron wishes he had said the Minotaur's chef name was Gorgon Ramsay.
- Aaron said that the Gossip Girl cast were all in their 30s during filming. They were actually in their early 20s - much closer to high school age.
- Aaron assumed that in Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, "silver bells and cockle shells" were names of plants. This was incorrect - the meaning is actually disputed.
