Politics, social commentary, and tales from the oil industry.
Once again I am joined by Mike in Switzerland, with the recording this time taking place in his mountaintop fortress. In this episode we talk about corporate HR and the blurring of the line between work and private life.
My guest is Jenny Davis, a polar explorer, extreme racer, motivational speaker, and corporate lawyer who talks about her recent expedition to Antarctica.
Jenny's website can be found at www.jennydavis.co.uk.
This week I'm joined by another Mike, this one in Taiwan. We talk about life on that island, teaching English as a foreign language (again!), the importance of professional translations, Taiwanese politics, and - most importantly - reservoirs.
Once again I'm joined by Mike in Switzerland to discuss life overseas, the difference between an expat and an immigrant, schooling, and other things.
Another solo podcast in which I talk about two rather separate topics:
1. The startup of Total's Egina field in Nigeria, and what it means for the future of international oil companies.
2. Sexual promiscuity, triggered by this Twitter thread.
My guest this week is Andy, who recently finished 2 years in Japan teaching English. We discuss this, and various other Asian countries as well.
A short podcast in which I moan about mainstream media journalists on Twitter.
A pleasant chat with Ben Sixsmith, an English writer living in Poland who you can follow on Twitter here. Ben's book Kings & Comedians: A Brief History of British-Polish Relations is available on Amazon.
I talk with Chris Mounsey of The Devil's Kitchen blog about the state of British politics, business, religion, Brexit, the NHS, libertarianism, and a whole load of other stuff with surprisingly little swearing.
A discussion with the blogger "William of Ockham" on all the above topics, and more.
