Have You Any Idea What It’s Like Being English?
from SPLANCHNICS: The Society for the Preservation of Literature, the Arts, Numinosity, Culture, Humor, Nerdiness, Inspiration, Creativity & Storytelling · host Clare Walker & Hannah Kubiak
Three generations sit down at the microphone this week. We are joined by special guest Annie Walker-Bright, Clare's mother and Hannah's "Nanny," as we call her. We talk about what it's like to be British in America, which seems to be mostly having your order misunderstood in restaurants. Our title comes from the 1988 film, A Fish Called Wanda, starring John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, and Michael Palin. Cleese wrote the screenplay. (Note: it’s a hilarious movie, but not suitable for younger or more sensitive viewers!) We’d love to hear your thoughts! Click here to send us a text message!
