#141 - YouTube is the Future

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 16:00:00 GMT

I've been thinking and listening to a lot of conversations about the future of digital media, and the role it will play in our lives. We know that social media apps tend to be trendy, right? Historically speaking, we've migrated from app to app, and nowadays it seems like there are about 6 or 7 apps that all of us use on a daily basis.

None of us know how long these apps will last, but if I had to bet all my money on the one that would outlast them all, it would be YouTube. In this episode, I'll give you 10 reasons why YouTube is and will continue to be the future of mass digital media.

#140 - Americans Are So Fucking Stupid

Sun, 26 Jun 2022 16:00:00 GMT

I've met so many people who see the United States as nothing more than a country full of arrogant, uneducated, money-hungry capitalists. What I find interesting is that most who have an opinion about the U.S. have never even set foot in the country nor spoken to an American citizen. So this episode is an attempt to put things in perspective.

#139 - The New York American Accent with Kairo Omar

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 16:00:00 GMT

We were out in the streets of Atlanta recording content for our YouTube channel the other day. And what we thought was going to be a 5-minute interview ended up being an hour-long conversation with a really cool guy named Kairo from the New York & New Jersey area. The video for YouTube isn't finished yet, but I thought you'd enjoy listening to Kairo's accent, dialect, stories, and opinions in the meantime.

In this episode, I ask Kairo things like:

What advice would you give your younger self?
What are some differences between New York and Atlanta?
Would you rather have more money or more time?
What does the American dream mean to you?
What's the American beauty standard?
What do you love and hate about the USA?

I will say that this episode is definitely not for beginners. Kairo is a passionate guy who speaks very fast. If you're not familiar with New York accents and dialects, understanding everything that was said in this episode will be a real challenge for you.

But remember, you can always read a complete transcript of the episode at https://www.lifeinenglish.net/podcast/139
