YBE 121: Question Of The Week Mega Show #1

With more questions being submitted than weeks to answer them, a fairly healthy backlog of Question Of The Week submissions were going unanswered. In an effort to clear out the queue, Rob Tong devotes this entire episode to answering several Question Of The Week submissions and hopefully you can gain something practical & actionable from the answers.
