This is great!!
I once lived in Australia, and I speak Australian English right now. But it turned out where I live people speak American English. So I kind of missed the Australian accent. This podcast has made my heart warm.
I love the society, so I love the news. But there are no news that really amuses me…… Except this one!!!!!!! Thank you for making this podcast!!!!!!!!!!
