EP13: How Bananas Get Their Bends
Have you ever wondered how long two people can talk aimlessly about bananas? We strive to answer that question this episode. Bananas… that’s all.

EP12: Random Rambles Pt. 1
Ever end up with a collection of stories you think you’ll never have the right opportunity to tell? Well, we have a lot of those, and we made an opportunity for ourselves! For the first episode of random rambles, we tell the saga of the Switch recovery, mystery Pokémon cards, baby’s first snorkel, and several more mini-adventures that have all given us rather unexpected stories to tell.

EP11: Aussie Friends (explicit)
Ever wanted to hear two Aussies and two Americans banter at each other spiritedly for an hour using crowdsourced questions from home? Well, today is your lucky day! (If you press play.)

EP10: Lizard Bonking Stick
Uluru part 2! We had so much to share still that we spent most of this episode going over Aboriginal culture, creation stories, and how their past interacts with the present. Bonus sounds of the relaxing ocean and not-so-relaxing baby seagull!

EP9: Uluru, Fooluru, or Many Heads?
Uluru part 1! We learned about many things on our trip to the big red rock in the desert - geology, tjukurpa, and camel stories, to name a few - which we share with you in a coffee-fueled hour of bird distractions. From touristy observations to histor-ROCK-al contexts, get ready for a rockin’ good time! (Too many puns? Too bad! It’ll probably get worse! :D)

EP8: Roots Part 1
After spending a month in Roxby Downs, we take some time to reflect on our experience, and the fingerprints people leave behind. Sappy sentimentalism ahead!

EP7: Adulting
WARNING: This episode we talk about taxes and financial stuff. If that ain’t your jam, we understand. Otherwise, get ready for some RIVETING comparisons of the US and Australian financial systems!

EP6: G’Day Mate
A long overdue update on Ausmo, a not-so-comprehensive discussion of “controversial” Aussie debates, and two (probably) over-caffeinated and (definitely) abnormally excited and loud podcast hosts. Volume warning, because for some reason we were VERY enthusiastic this episode.

EP5: Ausmo
The aforementioned van-dedicated episode is here! Join us as we discuss our journey to van parenthood, our upgrade sprint, tech woes, solar tips, and more.

EP4: Reg the Legend
Remember our pre-recording pal who came up out of the blue and talked to us a couple episodes ago? This episode is for him, because he deserves a dedicated one.
27 Mar 2023
EP3: Snags & Spanners
Let’s talk silos! We outline some highlights from our first Aussie job, including some not-so-fun spider scares, unexpected Australian food choices, and lessons learned.

EP2: Bonus B-B-Breakdown
In case you couldn’t tell from this title…we broke down! Join us as we spiral into madness for a bit waiting for our savior to tow us into town. (Mom & Dad: everything is under complete control!)
20 Mar 2023
EP1: Kangaroo Sticks
Join us as we give the first lowdown on where we are, where we’ve been, a little on where we’re going, and the most sitcom-esque moment in our Australia journey thus far. Stay tuned at the end for the great name debate!
