Lost In Translation

You've heard what the Americans want to know about the British, but what are the British curious about? We talk all things guns in Walmart, "British" food aisles, butter and a load of other nonsense as our Brummie guest asks the real questions we all need the answers to.

If you didn't know, when people say something in the UK, they rarely often mean the literal translation. For an American abroad, the workplace has its own set of language you have to understand to make it out alive. I bring on guest Jodie Williams as we discuss working in the UK and what Brits really mean by the common phrases they say. Enjoy!

This week is an "emergency" episode due to technical issues with the recording of a previous podcast. So, Courtney fills in for Tom spilling the tea on what shopping is like in the UK. If you've ever heard, "Europeans buy everything from their local butcher, baker, greengrocer, etc." then you're going to want to get the truth on this topic. Another look into the day to day of living in the UK. 

Another episode of our "Ask the Brit" series where Americans can ask Tom their burning questions about the UK. This week features Courtney's friend from the lovely town of Luling, Louisiana, who is a school administrator, so he queries Tom about school and education in the UK. We talk Harry Potter, snake explosions, thespian shenanigans and more. Enjoy!

In this episode, we bring our friend Kaci Disney onboard as a special guest to let her ask questions she's always wondered about British stereotypes and what life is like across the pond. Of course, there's a little Meghan Markle chat, some #FreeBritney and a lot about my mother and the racoon issue happening on Dogwood Drive. Enjoy!

With the holiday bug spreading almost as quickly as Covid, we thought we'd give some fun recommendations of places to visit in the UK outside of London. Whether you live on this side of the pond and can make a quick weekend trip, or you're planning an overseas trip to England include these on your list!
