The English and American cultures have long been intertwined, but just how similar... and different are we from our funny sounding mates in the UK? Eve Clarkson, a girl from the northwest of England (also, self-proclaimed English redneck) on loan to us here in the United States, shares a little about her childhood, playlist from her younger years, the foods and drinks she misses, and a bit about her move to the land of Yanks.

This was an accident. It was never meant to be its own show, but our "segment" idea for Ep. 75 went from 20 minutes to about 65 minutes.
