Week nine: A new house and a new HORROR!

What's it like to actually follow your dreams?Desert Diaries is the brutally honest account of one family's move from the rainy suburbs of Manchester to the scorched wilderness of Arizona.Excitement, frustration, fear, joy, loneliness and scorpions.  Quite a lot of scorpions. All life is here.For pictures, you can find me on instagram @samwalkerradio and on twitter @walkersam

Being an anglophile, I love Sam&#39;s takes on the difference between living in England and the US. Her road trips and tidbits about local Arizona history are great. She can make everyday things (like going to Home Depot) interesting and humorous.

My only complaint is that it&#39;s only once a week. I think she could do 2 or 3 a week and find interesting things to talk about.

Oh, and I love her Australian accident. lol

My fave new podcast (new to me)

I am hugely enjoying this podcast: she was a BBC radio host based out of Manchester England when she and her husband decided to live out their life dream of moving to the American West (specifically, Phoenix). She records an under-10-minute entry every week detailing her experiences. She has such an open and enthusiastic response to every opportunity and hardship the move has put in her way (and she has taken some serious blows). I find her attitude so inspiring during this time of pandemic.

Inspiring Listening During Difficult Times
