The Interest Club

In this episode my German friend Izzy and I are recording from her house in Australia. We are talking about how we got to know each other as au pairs in Boston 11 years ago, how Izzy ended up in Australia, differences between Germany and Australia, and Izzy puts my Aussie slang knowledge to the test.

I tell Inka about my trip to France and how I accidentally ordered two omelettes. We also play a game of two truths, one lie.

My friend Inka joins me for an episode. We talk about our first bizarre meeting through the app Bumble BFF, how we ended up in Brighton, and cultural differences between England and Finland.

I hit Michael with all the assumptions I have about him. Has he never left money to a homeless person? Is his body a temple which is too good for tap water? Does he like Top Gear but think it is shit after Clarkson left?

Michael and I catch up on what's new, tradespeople, train drivers, English nightlife, British stereotypes, therapy and whether Michael has met the queen?

Catching up with Michael after a summer break. Midsommar, online dating, school memories and lying your way into a high level job are on the agenda.

Michael is back to join me for a second episode. On the agenda: House buying, guilty pleasure songs, Beef Wellington, football hooligans, milkshake and much more..

My friend Michael is joining me for my first episode to talk about English and Finnish culture - obscure sports, drinking habits and Michael's secret crush are on the agenda. And how did the podcast get its name?
