Bobs Your Uncle Podcast

Bob Mendelsohn

Each week, Bob Mendelsohn will take us on a journey, 18 minutes of time together, learning and laughing and feeling what's going on in the world around us. It's really a podcast about people and for people. Topics might include sports, books, religion, and words themselves-- people though are our #1 concern. Broadcast each TUESDAY from his home in Sydney, Australia. Photos of the guests are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bobmendo/albums/72177720296857670. You are invited to share your thoughts via Instagram or FB, even via audio if you'd like.
Often we get into topics about health and wellness, and we find those fascinating.

Bobs Your Uncle Podcast - The results are in: Elections and Chiefs and Passover?
play

11/12/24 • 19 min

Season 7, episode 2 is about results and especially not waiting for the results. Sometimes we get it wrong when we stop watching too soon, or when jet lag hits us full on. Three stories that might make you smile. At least I hope so.
Historical marker of the week includes Akihito in Japan, the invention of the leotard and the closing of Ellis Island.
Some of the manuscript is on my blog: https://bob-mendelsohn.blogspot.com/2024/11/the-results-are-in-or-are-they.html
