Sometimes we'll tackle bigger questions about opportunity, identity and belonging. And sometimes we'll simply explore what makes Britain and America so wonderfully different.Whether you're British, American, an expat yourself or just curious about life on the other side of the Atlantic, you're welcome here.Two countries. Two cultures. One Brit with a microphone.New episodes weekly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
