Summary

It's possibly Jonathan and William's least luxurious and most controversial episode yet, as the two dive into the thorny subject of punishments. The two compare their different childhood experiences of discipline.

They also hear from a listener who recalls their grandfather's subtle method of disciplining misbehaving children by chasing them with a meat cleaver.

Plus, JVS and William discuss how they'd maintain law and order if they were Luxury Home Secretaries, and William takes a look at some historical punishments.

0:54.3	Oh, no, well, so have I.
0:55.5	And I wrote down, and I think this question can frame today's discussion.
1:00.9	Okay.
1:01.7	Does a luxury society administer severe punishment, or just a light touch?
1:08.6	Oh.
