Two Brits in America
Two Brits (more specifically Englishmen) now living in America discuss the nuances of two nations seperated by the Atlantic Ocean.
There is no limit to the nature of the subjects that are up for discussion.
Culture, food, sports, travel, beer, monarchy, politics, language, plus tons more, will be debated and analyzed (aka. analysed).
Fasten your seat belts, be tolerant, understanding, and have a laugh or two or three.
The added benefit of listening to this podcast for our American friends is that if you travel across the pond, you will be able to hit the ground running and fit right in with the local cuture, and be language fluent (sort of).
