One of my favorite podcast shows!
This expat is sarcastic, irreverent, informative and entertaining! But if you disagree, just don’t listen.

Those who have never travelled far from their parents basement may get their feelings hurt while listening to this show. If wokester listeners had the patients to listen to several episodes without getting “triggered”, they would find Johnny to be quite complimentary toward Latin people in general without blatantly ignoring the realities of life in South America.
