Hi everyone, 

Welcome to a very special 1 hour+ show featuring the first collaboration between Andy from The PolarBear Podcast and myself, as we embark on a quest to find the similarities and differences between our two native countries and discuss everything from politics to Hot Tamales.
But don't  worry! We do some Swenews too! We had a blast doing this show, and truly hope you enjoy it...

Mentioned on the show:
Portable Media Expo, Blubrry, Google AdSense, Amazon, GMail, Hot Tamales, Real California Cheese, Volvo, SonyEricsson, Skype, Daily Breakfast, Monterey County Hearld, Keith and the Girl, The Local, Swedish Film Institue, Swecasters

Music on the show:
Leah Carla Gordone

Today's show is appropriately named Back in the Saddle again...

It's been a minute, and I give thanks to all of you who have stayed subscribed, whatever your reason. Real life (RL) has made it very difficult lately to get a good quality show out, but I'm determined to come thru for you the podcast listener. (as well as my own sanity!)

With that in mind, this show is a bit shorter than usual, and pretty much devoted to Part 2 of my interview earlier this year with singer/songriter Robin Stine of Pensacola, Florida whose latest CD DAYDREAM has been very well received. We talk about her relationship to Podcasting, and her thoughts on the subject. She shares with us what it takes to be a truly independent artist, and other insights she's gained on her artistic journey. It was a great pleasure speaking with her, and I'm sure you'll enjoy our chat as much as I did...
