Episode 54; Do you really have to eat when you talk? 🙄🤢
Apple Podcasts1JjjjeeeesssssiiiieeeeUnited States3 years ago - Fun and interesting short format.
This is a fun free trip to Denmark. It is also amazingly informative. I experienced talking while inhaling in Aarhus and thought it was some sort of speech impediment. Give it a listen.
Apple Podcasts5NewPortugueseUnited States4 years ago - Fascinating insights
As someone of Danish heritage whose family lost touch with the culture, I’ve found both series to be extremely interesting, vibrant with colourful observations of contemporary danish life and thought. Thanks.

United Kingdom6 years ago - Jaywalking & Peeing in Public? With a title like that, it's got to be interesting!
Check out Episode 3 on jaywalking vs. peeing in public in Denmark. Fascinating and hilarious. It is great to hear insights in the psychology of things like 'cognitive dissonance' and the power of social modeling in our own behavior!
Examples like these make me reflect on the U.S. cultural norms and be more aware of how my behavior is influenced.
Thanks for a great show, Alex! Keep it up. [And I appreciate the brevity of the episodes so I can binge a lot of them at once!]
Apple Podcasts5LauraSpetersenUnited States9 years ago - Great and interesting topics
Alex, the host, makes me want to go back and visit Denmark again. Cultural insights are fascinating and help us reflect on our own nuances. Keep this podcast up!
