My American Friend

A podcast about My American Friend, no kidding. We'll talk about whatever topic comes to mind. It's free thought, free association, religion, politics, food, Covid-19, not necessarily in that order of course, as a way of gaining an insight and an understanding into someone else's life, particularly during this most challenging of times. It's a way to connect. I want to know what's happening outside of my sphere of influence, so yeah, I guess 15,000km or 9,000 miles away, I felt, was a good place to start.Why? I blame my Dad. He introduced me to Alistair Cooke's Letter(s) from America. I was always fascinated by that, although in this case, I'm from Australia, but I'm speaking to someone from America...anyway...I digress.Please sit back, relax, grab yourself a VB, or a Schlitz or in my case an ice cold Coca-Cola and I hope you enjoy listening to My American Friend.

My American Friend Jake, lives in Alabama. He is a Historian, Teacher, Tour Guide and all round nice guy.

We talk about Civil Rights, the Voting Rights March and dig deep into his incredible first hand knowledge and experience as a Child and Foot Soldier of the Civil Rights Movement. He generously gives me an insight into what his life was (and is) like, during these (and those) most challenging of times.
