    The first episode of the podcast from buncharted.


    In this episode, we talk about everyday "culture shocks" (if you can call them that, haha) that we experience here in the Netherlands. These are the things that don't "shock" us per se, but rather, are just things that are super interesting that we find ourselves always talking about with friends and family.
