Episode 8 - Diverse Living

I Figured Out, I'm Grown

Ever found yourself chuckling at the quirks of different American cities? Well, Ben Ford and Leander Kelsey Junior have, and they're spilling the beans on the cultural mishaps and laughter-filled lessons learned from coast to coast. Sip on some metaphorical Japanese whiskey with us as we recount the welcoming warmth of Tuskegee, the stoic streets of Chicago, and everything in between. We're unpacking the suitcase of our geographical journeys, revealing how our stints in various cities from Florida to Alabama, and Maryland to Atlanta, have colored our worldviews—and we're inviting you to join the conversation.
Strap in for a ride through the heart of America's social tapestry, where a baseball cap in a Southern Walmart leads to unexpected revelations and walking your dog becomes a cultural barometer. We're sharing tales of dog-walking diplomacy, the comedy of misunderstandings, and the beauty of blooming where you're planted, whether that's in the hustle of Baltimore or the laid-back embrace of the Deep South. It's a candid look at what happens when Northern sensibilities meet Southern charm, and the result is as surprising as it is enlightening.
As we wrap up, lean in for a little reflection on our personal growth since the mic first went hot. It's not just about the stories we've told or the places we've been—it's about the community we've built with you, our listeners. From the evolution of our sign-off to the vibrant dialogue that sustains our show, we're here to say thanks for being part of this journey. Remember, the conversation doesn't end here; join us online to keep exploring the diverse tapestry of American life.
