Truck Driving - Mike

Growing up in the American West, I romanticized the open road as a kid and the idea of being the lone hero behind the wheel of a big rig. In today's episode, I'm talking with truck driver Mike Nattress about his decades-long career behind the wheel of various large vehicles. Most important takeaway? We all need to get off our phones while we're driving! Second most important? Bruno the dog might be the world's best copilot.

Hana Binder

When Hana moved to Germany in March 2019 to live with her partner she had three goals: learn German, get better at cooking, and start a podcast. One year later, her language skills were pretty top-notch, her cooking skills less so, and her answer to friends' questions about the podcast was still "I'm working on it," which was code for "I'm not working on it." With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hana discovered the secret to better cooking - meal delivery kits - and finally started thinking seriously about what kind of podcast she wanted to host. During her video chats with college best friend Ana, an idea started to take shape that would eventually become their show "The Pen Is...," followed eventually by her solo endeavor, "My Dilettante Life."
When she's not waiting tables at Regensburg's finest café or developing new pieces for her podcasts, Hana can be found tidying the world's smallest kitchen or walking her dog among the rolling hills of the Bavarian countryside.
