Today my friend Lian Wong joins the show! Lian is an audio engineer, market gardener, seamstress, and motorbike mechanic (a particular set of skills only bested by Liam Neeson himself!) In this episode we discuss music therapy and the interesting role it plays in helping stroke victims and dementia patients, why Lian started a personal audio recording service, how she got into market gardening, identity and the constant "yeah but where are you really from?" question, and her families history - including her Dad's dramatic escape from communist China.

Lian's personal audio recording service - Oromāu Limited

Market gardening - Mayflower's Market Gardens

Who doesn't love camping! Getting out into the wilderness, the stars above, the warmth of a bonfire, the sweet and smoky taste of roasted marshmallows, and of course being visited by two male lions in the middle of the night...

This week, my friend Rebekah from Switzerland joins the show! Rebekah is studying English Literature and Anthropology, and has been spending a lot of her time in Africa over the past few years. In this episode we talk about her time in Africa and THAT lion encounter. We also get into an intense discussion about what words and terms can and cannot be used, if we are responsible for how our words are interpreted and twisted by others, and living the perfect (social media) life. Plus Rebekah harshly criticizes her Mum's first Adele experience, and we share some drunken memories from our past!

Do you enjoy travel? Do you like to laugh? Do you find this current social justice/identity politics era strange and confusing? Then you'll love the first guest episode of season 2 of the Uncle2Beers podcast!

Gerald Pauschmann (aka G-Man) is an Australian youtuber who reports on crazy and ridiculous stories on a weekly basis, predominantly for his 87 year old father Rudi, cheers Rudi! In this episode G-Man and I talk about PC culture gone mad, the rise of identity politics, getting trolled online, being de-monetised on Youtube, the current "egging" and "milkshaking" trend that has recently risen up, as well as his adventures riding strange and wonderful vehicles all the way from the north of India to the South and 3,500km through the Amazon and over the Andes in Peru. Enjoy!

If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Do certain tones cause bowel movements? Do smart people listen to more complex music, or just think that they do? Why are we bombarded by the same song over and over? Is music a good learning aid? What's the point of musical virtue signalling? Yes we're diving deep into the world of sound and music!

NOW that's I what I call ...... a podcast!

Richi Watson is the founder of LifeWell UK. In this episode we talk about how consciousness, our imaginations, and our primitive brain programs, all come together to create chaos in our every day lives, and tools for dealing with that chaos. We also discuss confronting fears (and how he is helping guide his daughter through anxiety), the current victim hood culture that we find ourselves in, and yes even THAT Gillette ad. All of this and much more in another guest episode of the Uncle2Beers podcast.
