Around the World with Mr. Clark episodes
- #57: Why don't we do that?
Your host Clark Vandeventer is launching a new interview series on the podcast!
From Clark:
As a traveler, when I visit a new country, I don't expect it to look like my country. In fact, I WANT it to look and be different! But my home country, the United States, is a country of immigrants, and one thing that's great about America is that we've taken the best stuff from all over the world and made it ours. So when I travel and find something cool in another country, I ask the question, "Why don't we do that?" In this new podcast series -- this spinoff -- well -- not a spinoff because we’re wrapping it in. But -- in this series -- I invite a guest on the show to share something cool they've discovered in some far corner of the world and ask, "Why don't we do that?"You can find Clark's classes on outschool at https://bit.ly/clarkonoutschool and follow him on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/clarkvand/

23 min - #55: Pirates of the Caribbean (or is it cuh-RIB-be-an)
7,000 islands and 44 Million People. That's more people than Canada. But, how do you pronounce it? Is it "care-ib-BEE-an" or "cuh-RIB-be-an"?
Look at those bright blue waters around the Bahamas. Let's talk about Alexander Hamilton. And Pirates! This is a Caribbean overview episode before host Clark Vandeventer moves to specific islands in forthcoming episodes.

31 min - #54: There's so much to talk about in England
England is like the land of Great Works! We didn't even have time to talk about William Shakespeare, or William Wilberforce, or Charles Darwin. David Beckham barely got a mention, though David Beckham's right foot and David Beckham's left foot were both specifically mentioned. Even Winston Churchill only get a few lines at the end of this episode. Also, a Queen of England called the Spanish the "foul scum of Europe!"
In this episode, host Clark Vandeventer talks about England -- the big piece on the island of Great Britain and the (by far) most populpous country of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom.

28 min - #53: I am William Wallace (Scotland)
Two of the most famous Scots in history are highly fictionalized acounts. One is William Wallace. The other is Macbeth, fictionalized by William Shakespeare. But you can't talk about Scotland without quoting and heavily referencing Mel Gibson's epic portrayl of William Wallace in the movie Braveheart.
Scotland is part of the United Kingdom, home to about 5 Million people, and, probably the place where the game of golf was invented. Join host Clark Vandeventer for another installment of Aroudn teh World with Mr. Clark.

24 min - #52: U2, Guinness, & Serendipity in Ireland
About 6 Million people live in the two countries that occupy the island of Ireland. There are about 80 Million people in the world who claim Irish Ancestry. Ireland was the first country host Clark Vandeventer every traveled outside the United States (wait, does Canada count)? This is a beautiful country with beautiful people that Clark has spent some time in -- and -- his wife Monica lived there for a year! Let's talk about Ireland!

32 min - #51: Fire and Ice in Iceland
Why don't we call it Fireandiceland instead of just Iceland? Have you seen the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth or read Jules Verne? There's seriously a lot of geothermal activity in Iceland!
And, it Iceland is on the dividing line between the tetonic plates of Euroasia and North America, why do we consider it Europe and not North America, and why is it considered Scandinavia even though it's so far away from the rest of Scandinavia?

19 min - #50: Clean Air & Sauna Make Finland Happy
Despite sharing a long border with a big and intimidating neighbor, the people of Finland are among the happiest in the world. Maybe it's all the fresh air and sauna. And, coffee. About 5 Million people live in this Scandinavian nation.

14 min - #49: Sweden, Ikea, and a 500 Mile Bike Ride to Copenhagen
Sweden is the most populous of the Scandinavian countries, and more than half of it is covered in forest. In 2017, Clark rode his bike solo and unassisted from Stockholm, Sweden to Copenhagen Denmark. That was a 500 mile bike ride, with about 470 of those miles being in Sweden. This is a wonderful and fascinating country with a long history.

25 min - #48: Norway, Land of the Midnight Sun (& Olympic Glory)
Norway is the Land of the Midnight Sun, and also boasts more Winter Olympic Medals than any country in history, despite having only about 5 Million people. Also famous for fjords, which is a fun word to say. Don't forget, Norway also has a claim on Antarctica, which they are not about to renounce.
