Too much random chatting. Too long episodes.
Like the idea of the talk with all kind of foreigners that have a connection to Finland or got stuck there. :) myself being German I lived in HKI back in 2007 and been back to Finland multiple times per year since. Especially for Vappu.
Love VFP books and page. And this is more of the same. Joel and Thomas are intelligent and funny conversationalists and they have fascinating guests.
Found this podcast after following on FB. Love the concept but did it hard to follow the conversation as the hosts often talk over each other and the sound quality to set the greatest. Topics are fun though even if they sometimes go on a bit long!
Looking to travel in Finland next year and stumbled across this podcast. Very glad I did, it’s been comical, interesting and insightful. Keep up the great work.
