National Podcast Post Month aka NaPodPoMo
In 2007, 50 podcasters participated in the first ever National Podcast Post Month aka NaPodPoMo. Created by Jennifer Navarrete as an answer for an audio version to other 30 day challenges happening in the month of November.
That is taken from NaPodPoMo and we are extremely fortunate in that Jennifer Navarrete is our very own
Last year I created a podcast called It Takes Two To Tengo ...
This is where Matilda made her debut and it was courtesy of a 
Swans and ducks! My old home's new owner loves swans and ducks and is also an artist!
How cool was that.
When Mrs T said she wanted to do a podcast,but did not know what, I knew what to do.
Whereever we go people like our feisty banter that we have, we always tend to put on a show. When we went back to Orkney and stayed in the house I last stayed in when I was a teenager. It was now an AirBnB and Helen the owner was in fits of giggles and said we should be on TV.
Well it is not TV, but a simple podcast that probably will only ever have a handful of listeners, but is fun!
This painting of hers was at the front door and I just felt I was back home after many many years!
My old house many many years ago in Kirkwall, Orkney
We went there for two glorious weeks in this summer. Mrs T had never been to Orkney and I had never been back since I was a teenager!
The podcast yes it just seemed right!
If you know me I have no middle button, I am either 100% spontaneous or 100% procrastinator, there is no in between.
A wonderful friend of mine would describe me as the most reliable person in the world when I want to be reliable.
The photos you will see on this post and all posts to do with the podcast and on podcast episodes are from Orkney, the standing stones are from the Ring of Brodgar.
A stunning henge of 36 stones and 13 burial mounds. Yes I have to make a post of course, in the meantime check out Ring of Brodgar Stone Circle and Henge
For the month of November there will be daily podcasts to get into the swing of their Transatlantic Accents. Then most likely we shall keep it up and have weekly episodes probably around 30 minutes in duration.
Transatlantic Accents: A Comedy Podcast is here to stay!
Have you ever created a podcast?
Do you have a question about UK or American language or cultural differences?
Yes the aim of the podcast is take the myths away from languages between the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean all with a fun take on it.
Can spouses work together?
I guess I should upload the RSS feed to as many platforms as I can... https://anchor.fm/s/ec3b0578/podcast/rss
I just want to say a massive thank you to 
and 
who all interacted on the podcast. You have no idea how chuffed that made us feel!
I am going to thank Super Eli
