Bye Bye Miss American Jesus - Wesley Converts to Catholicism in the Age of Trump and BLM Protests

Wesley and I discuss attending the Black Lives Matter protest and seeing the limited damage with our own eyes in Seattle and Dallas. Police stories from China and the US and his journey from feeling out of place and disenfranchised in the jingoistic American Church to embracing the structure of Catholicism. And growing up in China we don't feel comfortable being in the majority in the States. 3rd Culture kids.

British-American-Chicagoan-Entrepreneur-Restauranteur Chats Biz, BBC, Bollocks and Byzantine Immigration with Paul

This is therapy for you. Come commiserate with a British Immigrant and I as we try to survive this mad mad world. Paul ran a magazine and now a restaurant outside of Chicago and many years ago I took photos and wrote a dandy of a hilarious column for him. We try to find hope in the cornucopia of chaos and anxiety as we talk about how great America can be for immigrants but the idea of American Exceptionalism is being obliterated as we speak and how we need smart, businesses minded immigrants to keep the economy going. Know one thing. Foreign students pay triple what the average American pays. Not to mention all the money they spend in this country and our customs and border control treats everyone like crap. Trust the BBC and enjoy the good news. You don't have to share it on social media. There is laughter as well. We promise. Recorded today but relevant tomorrow and years from now. Enjoy.
