Ghost Drivers & The Weirdest Email We’ve Ever Read… | S2E5 (#40)

Another week, another attempt at being a “Thailand podcast”.

We start off with some proper stuff like books, language learning and culture before quickly descending into the usual. (Glory holes and that)

We try and stay positive this week and Todd has researched a few dates for your diary including a plowing festival and an international singing competition you're definitely going to want to know about.

We then round things off with our highly professional “Bangkok Bar Awards,” which is essentially just us naming pubs we go to and pretending it’s useful.

As always, not much structure, very little expertise, but at least we’re aware of it.

This is going to be class.

A surprisingly strong take on voice acting chaos.

A rare moment of insight before we lose focus again.
