Summer Update

mardi 5 septembre 2023 • Durée 04:04

Hello and Welcome to The Expat Pod!

For those who may have noticed there has been a short break in posting new episodes... don't worry this is just so I can have a little break from posting as I've moved back from Sweden to the UK and needed to sort my life out a little.

I am looking to post some new full episodes again in October when I've had time to edit and schedule some more and focus on promoting the podcast.

Anyway I hope you enjoy this little update, and please go back through the back catalogue of older episodes if you'd wish to catch up on some great interviews.

As always please share this with friends and family, and if you'd like to be a guest then please get in touch.
