    56: A Toast To Speaking Across Cultures
    Mar 27 2025
    Clink clink! Dean and Tom would just like to take a moment (actually, several moments across this episode) to toast toasting and public speaking across cultures. After toasting all night long with a tamada in Georgia, they toast Dean’s May 2024 article for Toastmasters - Speaking Across Cultures: Top 10 rules for communicating around the world - and Tom tries to guess some of the top 10 rules before Dean reveals them. If you can guess them correctly, dear listener, we’ll happily toast you all night long as well! Enjoy and cheers! ***Subscribe to Dean’s Substack here for all of Dean’s CultureQuizzes, “Culture’s Consequences” articles, and much more!*** Have a cultural question or episode idea?

    55: Canada Is Not The 51st State
    Feb 27 2025
    O Canada! With all the recent talk of Canada being the 51st U.S. state - it’s not, and won’t be! - Dean and Tom venture into the vast expanse of cultural differences between Canadians and U.S. Americans in this episode. Meanwhile, Dean encounters polar bears on the Canadian Shield, Tom’s Canadian relatives enter the melting pot, and Torin searches underground for Montreal’s Nuit Blanche (White Night). To learn if they all survive their respective Canadian adventures, pull up next to a crackling fire if you can - with a bowl of salad or poutine (or both) - and enjoy! ***Subscribe to Dean’s Substack here for all of Dean’s CultureQuizzes, “Culture’s Consequences” articles, and much more!*** Have a cultural question or episode idea?

    Say The Magic Word(s)! Special Reissue
    Jan 23 2025
    Hoping a magic carpet ride whisks you away to a magical "far far away" place this week? Well, you're in *luck*, because we're reissuing our August 2019 episode, "Do You Believe In Magic?", for that very reason. Enjoy being transported to Dean and Tom's realm of magic and wonder, and we'll see you on the other side! In this episode, Dean and Tom explore magical thinking across cultures, conjuring up the origins of good luck charms while clutching their rabbit’s foot, knocking on wood, and spitting to ward off the evil eye. They also dive into how and why myth-making, from Harry Potter to Groundhog Day to Loch Ness, appeals to so many of us across cultures – but not before our friends at Licensing return to cut off Dean’s rendition of “Do You Believe In Magic?”. Listen and enjoy now before this episode goes *poof*! ***Subscribe to Dean’s Substack here for all of Dean’s CultureQuizzes, “Culture’s Consequences” articles, and much more!*** Have a cultural question or episode idea?
