#161 – Professionally Speaking About... Stuff: Varying Accents, Podcasting, Comedy & Assumptions When Travelling With Andrew Heaton

Mike speaks with Andrew Heaton this week, who is a podcaster, author, political commentator, stand-up comedian, “professional speaker” and so much more, so the chat spans across a huge amount of topics!

In more detail, the duo’s discussion starts with talking about Heaton’s time in United Kingdom which leads onto accents & dialects within a broader conversation on travelling and Heaton’s misconceptions about British people (before visiting the UK). They then talk about Heaton’s podcast; The Political Orphanage and how he got into the world of podcasting. The two also talk about humour, themselves and a whole bunch more, intertwined with funny anecdotes!

Their conversation includes Gerardo explaining his early experiences with psychedelics, the drinking cultures in Europe & America and Gerardo then talks about how his life “took a turn” and the experience of psychedelics, meditation & the Wim Hof breathing method brought him back.
