Three friends living abroad in Spain unpack global news, culture, and expat life—without pretending we always agree.

At the heart of the podcast is the belief that open dialogue matters. Different philosophies don’t have to divide people—honest conversations can help us understand life, and each other, a little better.

Each episode explores the latest stories—from international headlines and politics to cultural trends, social debates, and the realities of building a life overseas. Being abroad adds another layer to how we see the world, and we hope you’ll join us in building a community around these chats.

Authenticity is the backbone of our show, so nothing is overly scripted or polished—we keep it natural, thoughtful, and as unfiltered as possible. Our goal is to create a space where ideas can be challenged and discussed openly without fear of rejection. Some episodes land on common ground, while others may simply highlight the complexity of certain issues.

If our convos spark something in you, pass the show along to someone who loves real talk and fresh insights.

Topics: global news, expat life, living abroad, culture, politics, social debates, international perspectives, open dialogue.

    What does it take to pack up your life and move to a new country? What about seven different times? This week we sit down with JC, a South African expat who has called England, Scotland, the US, Malta, China, Spain, and Poland home at various points in his life. He walks us through it all: barely missing 9/11, getting mistaken for a celebrity in rural China, culture-shocking his way through Scottish accents, Texas heat, and Chinese tipping customs, and why, despite everything, he still dreams of going back to South Africa someday.

    We also get into the surprising differences between Polish and Spanish friendship cultures, why he thinks China might be the most generous country on earth, the truth about Norwegian prisons, and why his ultimate retirement plan involves robbing a bank.

    Whether you're an expat, a traveler, or just someone who's ever wondered what it's like to build a life from scratch in a foreign country, this one's for you.

    From governments ditching ethics to the slow death of creative expression, AI is progressively taking over our lives. What does that really mean? We’re diving deep into the digital rabbit hole, from AI-driven self-harm and the rise of "robot romance" to the amazing but uncomfortable reality of humanoids hitting the streets. Buckle up. Shit is about to get weird.

Our lives forever altered by the move, we stop and reflect on all we've been through. We’re not gonna sugarcoat it—living abroad tests and transforms you. But…it's worth it.
