This was episode 37 of my former podcast "Henry talks about..." In it I reflected on how we usually get told that we can become "too old" to learn anything new, whilst our brains remain willing to be used and expanded. Language learning is a wonderful tool to do this and age doesn’t matter. I tell about how I started learning a second foreign language (German) at 30 years old.

This was episode 36 of my former podcast "Henry talks about..." In it I talked about how some of us music fans usually go to concerts by ourselves and not much for the socializing, despite concerts being forms of massive events where many people gather together.

This was episode 35 of my former podcast "Henry talks about..." with the second and final part of my interview with fellow Venezuelan musician Marcos Rodríguez. This interview was recorded in April 2019 and it reflects that time, back when Marcos was the guitarist of the German metal band Rage (he left in May 2020). We had a very nice conversation that might be of interest for everybody, regardless of whether they're a fan of metal music or not. Marcos' story has been one of not giving up, fighting for his dreams and taking the chances that life presents him with.

This was episode 30 of my former podcast "Henry talks about..." and part 1 of what I thought would develop into a series of episodes about singing. In it I talked about how many people assume that singing is a matter of having a certain talent or not, so anyone attempting to sing, even for fun, gets discouraged. I affirm that anyone can actually learn how to sing.

This was episode 28 of my former podcast "Henry talks about..." In it I talked about the worldwide known festivity of Carnival. I pondered on many how many people use this time in order to disguise themselves and show their alter egos, whilst others feel forced to celebrate something they don’t want to.
