About this episode
I'm onto you Duolingo, I see through all your sneaky tactics. Watch your back!
In Episode #241 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: our gratitude for Southbank allowing us back in our normal spot, Juan's interaction with a homeless man outside a gas station, why Duolingo has it in for podcasting, why one might be hypocrite and work at cross purposes within oneself, the hilarious translation for jailbait, languages/Colombian culture & the diversity of nationalities one might find at their local calisthenic park.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
