This is The Radio Vagabond, and then today, it’s not really. Because I have something special for you in this one. There’s another podcast that I listen to, and I would like to introduce for you.

We’re a railroad town founded in 1882, and part of that American expansion era, but we’ve since become a progressive cradle in thi...

254 SAUDI ARABIA: The Ancient, Modern, and Hip Al Ula

Before we start, let me apologise for being a week late with this one – and part two of my conversation with my Saudi friend, “J”.

At that time, there was a small crack on it. This time I did nothing. It simply just stopped working. Nobody knows why. I had it replaced in March in Denmark, so only ten months ago. The Apple warranty onl...

I’ve started launching episodes about my visit to Saudi Arabia, and in the first one that came out on Tuesday, it may have sounded like there’s nothing bad about this country. And even though I...
