Hi Matt and Nethan, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your podcast—your discussions are always engaging and informative! Listening to your episodes makes me want to delve deeper into the culture behind different American cities. For example, I’m really fascinated by cities like Chicago—their stories, iconic sites, and especially their food scenes. If I were to live in a city like that for a few years, how could I start learning about its culture in a meaningful way? Would Reddit be helpful for this? If so, what keywords or subreddits should I check out? Thanks a lot, and keep up the great work!

hey there! Thanks for the comment. I talked about it with Nathan and I think you make some great points about what some future episodes could be about! As for what sub reddits to visit.. I’m not sure, but I’d do some research on the cities and try to use Instagram and search for locations so see videos and people from there talking about life. Chicago is great. Nathan and I actually hung out there for a day but it was FREEZING!!! Try these keywords: lifein____ (city name) dailylife vlog! Also, if you create a post asking about daily life in certain areas you’ll find out a lot from international TikTok too.
