From Down Under to Down South

Send us Fan Mail Middle Tennessee became one of the hottest places on Earth, petrol climbed past four dollars a gallon, and driverless taxis began navigating Nashville traffic. This week, Michael looks at life beneath a powerful heat dome, the rising cost of driving, Waymo’s arrival in Nashville and the confusing difference between American and Australian floor numbers. He also discovers supermarket bars and bingo nights in Florida, learns that the dance studio dads have formed a clique without him, checks in on the storage facility turtle and receives an unexpectedly generous offer involving the enormous tree outside his house.

Send us Fan Mail Australians have a habit of taking perfectly good words, chopping them in half and giving them a nickname. Afternoon becomes arvo. Service station becomes servo. And McDonald’s? That became Macca’s. But this one went further than most. More than half of Australians were calling McDonald’s “Macca’s,” and eventually one of the biggest brands in the world did something remarkable: it gave in. McDonald’s embraced the nickname, even temporarily changing the signs on some Australian restaurants to Macca’s. In this episode, I look at how an American icon became part of Australian culture, why Australians nickname just about everything, my own childhood memories of McDonald’s in Australia, and why after eight years living in America, I still can’t quite bring myself to call it anything but Macca’s. From Down Under to Down South is an Australian perspective on America, Australia and the funny little differences you only notice when you’ve lived in both. ☕ Enjoying the podcast?

Send us Fan Mail Apparently, even the baby goats can kill you. This week, I’m trying to understand how a rabid baby goat managed to expose hundreds of people in North Carolina, why contaminated iceberg lettuce made nearly 13,000 people sick, and why the Farmers’ Almanac already has America talking about snow. Closer to home, my ten-year-old daughter Georgia got braces this week. She handled it brilliantly. I handled it by staying several miles away from the orthodontist, because apparently my nervous system believes dental X-rays are a perfectly reasonable reason to shut down completely. We’re talking rabid raccoons, killer lettuce, Tennessee’s traditional pre-snow raid on the bread and milk aisle, and the impressive number of medical facilities where I’ve somehow managed to end up on the floor. Plus, This Week in America has unexpectedly gone international, with the podcast charting in Botswana and Poland. Just another perfectly normal week in America. ☕ Enjoying the podcast?

Send us Fan Mail An Australian viewer recently told me my content had become a little too “fawning” toward America. They suggested I unleash my “inner Aussie,” get grittier and spend more time talking about politics, crime, healthcare and everything America gets wrong. They also called me a “former Australian.” Apparently I've been sacked and nobody told me. But the comment got me thinking about why I deliberately don't make that kind of content. America has problems. So does Australia. I've lived and worked in six countries now, and if that experience has taught me anything, it's that countries are much more than governments, headlines, crime statistics and borders on a map. They're people. In this episode of From Down Under to Down South: This Week in America , I talk about becoming an American without becoming any less Australian, raising my children between two cultures, the things I've learned from living overseas, and why I've become far less interested in keeping score between Australia and America. I also explore what constant outrage does to the people consuming it and the people creating it, why criticism is very different from contempt, and why I'd rather spend my time being curious about the ordinary things that make cultures different. I don't ignore the dark. I know it's there. I just don't go looking for it when there's already so much light worth noticing. And if I have a choice about what I add to the world, I'd rather be the light. Hoo roo maties. ☕ Enjoying the podcast?

Send us Fan Mail Apparently, I’m old now. Nobody bothered to tell me. This week, a perfectly ordinary drive to get a haircut turned into an unexpected reminder that time has been quietly moving on without asking my permission. Supertramp is apparently “golden oldies,” my daughters think Home and Away is ancient, Honey Boo Boo is somehow 21, and Squishies are now an essential part of childhood. Then a spectacular haircut tantrum at Sports Clips made me realize there might actually be a few advantages to getting older. It’s a lighter This Week in America about music, kids, nostalgia, Australian television, American life and those strange little moments when you suddenly wonder: wait… when did I get old?

Send us Fan Mail American families move around. Kids leave for college, take jobs in other states, get married and start families hundreds or even thousands of miles from where they grew up. But since moving to America, I’ve noticed something that I don’t remember seeing nearly as often in Australia: sometimes Mum and Dad follow them. I’ve watched retired parents sell their homes and move across the country to be near their children and grandchildren. I’ve even known parents who made the move before retirement. After my own family recently found ourselves all sick at the same time, I started thinking differently about what having family nearby actually means. It isn’t only about birthdays, school concerts, dance recitals or watching the grandkids grow up. It’s the ordinary days. The unexpected moments. And sometimes, simply being close enough to show up when somebody needs you. In this episode, I look at the American families I’ve encountered who have chosen to follow their adult children, why America’s enormous distances can leave families scattered across the country, how my Australian background shaped the way I saw it, and why it’s become one part of American family life I’ve come to admire. ☕ If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support From Down Under to Down South, you can Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/fromdownundertodownsouth 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FromDownUndertoDownSouth 🌏 Website https://fromdownundertodownsouth.com 📘 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068568677919 🐦 X https://x.com/aussiemika74 📩 Business enquiries: michael@fromdownundertodownsouth.com Thanks for listening.

Send us Fan Mail Tennessee is saying goodbye to Dolly Parton. This week, I watched a state grieve for a woman who was far more than a country music star. I share what Dolly meant to Tennessee, the stories I've heard from people who knew her, the generosity I witnessed firsthand while working in banking, and why her death unexpectedly brought back memories of my mum in Australia. But it wouldn't be This Week in America without a few detours. There's a mouse in our living room, my family has declared a state of emergency, and our cat has finally been asked to earn his keep. I also take a look at something about American democracy that still fascinates me: school board elections and just how many local officials Americans get to vote for. Plus, after years of living in Nashville and meeting people in the music industry, I have a confession to make: living in the home of country music may actually have made me less of a country music fan. From mice and local elections to Nashville, the Smoky Mountains and memories of home, it's another This Week in America.

Send us Fan Mail After nearly eight years living in the United States, I've come to believe many Americans have a hidden superpower—and it isn't what you'd expect. As an Australian living in America, I've noticed that Americans don't just celebrate success. They encourage people to try in the first place. Whether it's starting a business, writing a book, changing careers, or chasing a lifelong dream, encouragement seems deeply woven into American culture. In this episode, I explore why that mindset surprised me, how it slowly changed the way I see the world, and why I think it may be one of America's greatest strengths. If you've ever wondered why Americans are so friendly, optimistic, or willing to cheer on complete strangers, this episode is for you. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/fromdownundertodownsouth 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FromDownUndertoDownSouth 🌏 Website https://fromdownundertodownsouth.com 📘 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068568677919 🐦 X https://x.com/aussiemika74 📩 Business enquiries: michael@fromdownundertodownsouth.com Thanks for listening.

Send us Fan Mail We're finally recovering from COVID, but apparently I've been making tea wrong the entire time. This week, Nikki explains why honey should never meet a metal spoon, the turtle in my workplace lunchroom officially becomes a colleague, and YouTube reaction channels take From Down Under to Down South international. I also share why I decided to file a trademark after being approached by a content distribution company, and how the scammers found my application in less than twelve hours. Then things get a little more thoughtful. A 60 Minutes Australia story has me comparing access to mental health care in Australia and America, while Georgia somehow manages to get an F in fifth-grade science without actually being at school. Finally, another Australian story sends me down a rabbit hole about Ivan Milat and a question I hadn't considered before: why do we seem to hear about fewer serial killers today? That leads into a much darker week in America, with three executions taking place on the same day and the upcoming scheduled execution of Christa Pike here in Tennessee. Wooden spoons, workplace turtles, healthcare, school grades, serial killers, scammers and the death penalty. Just another week in America through Australian eyes.

Send us Fan Mail After eight years living in America, I don't often think about how far away Australia really is. Then our entire household got sick at the same time. This week, all four of us came down with COVID and a collection of secondary illnesses. Nikki and I were completely wiped out, the girls were sick, nobody was sleeping, takeaway became a survival strategy, and at one point I genuinely found myself wondering: what happens when both parents are too sick to parent? And that's when 9,000 miles suddenly felt very far. Because back in Australia, we would have had family who could step in. Someone who could make dinner, help with the kids, or simply walk through the door and say, "I've got this. Go to bed." It made me realise that when you move overseas, you don't just leave people behind. You leave behind an invisible support system you may not even realise you had until the day you need it. This week I'm talking about being sick far from family, the practical side of expat life we don't often discuss, why I wasn't actually homesick for Australia, and the difference between missing home and simply missing having backup. Plus, crazed sick children, emergency takeaway, 72 hours without sleep, and my ill-fated attempt to have Amazon rescue me with same-day sleep gummies. Sometimes living overseas doesn't feel far away at all. Until suddenly it does. ☕ Enjoying the podcast?

Send us Fan Mail Living in America as an Australian isn't always about the big cultural differences. Sometimes it's the completely ordinary moments that remind me I'm still seeing life here through Australian eyes. This week, my workplace somehow went from having two cats living in the employee bathroom to a turtle in the lunchroom. The girls went back to school, everyone got sick, I found myself chatting with a stranger about her tattoos at Publix, Halloween decorations appeared while Tennessee was still pushing 95 degrees, and a Chinese takeaway reminded me that even Chinese food can be surprisingly different between Australia and America. After eight years in the US, America feels like home. But every week, something still makes me stop and think, "Hang on… we don't do that." This is another week in America through Australian eyes. ☕ Enjoying the podcast?

Send us Fan Mail Why do Americans customize everything? After moving from Australia to the United States, one of the biggest cultural differences I noticed was just how many choices Americans have. Coffee orders, restaurant meals, pickup trucks, homes, phone plans and countless other everyday things can all be personalized. At first, it felt overwhelming. Over time, I realized this isn't really about products at all. It's about a way of thinking. Americans often see the standard version as the starting point, not the finished product. In this episode, I explore why customization is such a defining part of American culture, what it says about personal choice and individuality, and why it makes a lot more sense to me after eight years living in America. What do you think? Has customization made life better, or have we simply ended up with too many options? ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/fromdownundertodownsouth 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FromDownUndertoDownSouth 🌏 Website https://fromdownundertodownsouth.com 📘 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068568677919 🐦 X https://x.com/aussiemika74 📩 Business enquiries: michael@fromdownundertodownsouth.com Thanks for listening.

Send us Fan Mail When I first moved to America, there were plenty of moments when I wasn't sure I belonged. Looking back now, what surprises me isn't the awkward moments—it's how many people seemed determined to make room for us. In this episode, I reflect on the small everyday interactions that gradually changed how I saw America, from a Thanksgiving invitation to familiar faces at the local grocery store. Somewhere along the way, I stopped feeling like the outsider and started feeling at home. I don't know exactly why Americans do this, but I share a few thoughts on what might be behind this uniquely welcoming part of American culture. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/fromdownundertodownsouth 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FromDownUndertoDownSouth 🌏 Website https://fromdownundertodownsouth.com 📘 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068568677919 🐦 X https://x.com/aussiemika74 📩 Business enquiries: michael@fromdownundertodownsouth.com Thanks for listening.

Send us Fan Mail What happens to friendships when you live overseas for years? This week, I’ve been thinking about the people and everyday moments we slowly lose touch with — the ordinary Tuesdays we once shared without realizing how important they were. But this is This Week in America , so things don't stay reflective for long. I'm also talking about Georgia surviving an intense week of dance auditions, the American obsession with neighborhood swimming pools, why I suddenly miss Saturday morning cartoons, my continuing war with Tennessee squirrels, a suspicious-looking slot machine in a gas station, and the Mexican restaurant conversation that somehow ended with rattlesnake as a traditional cancer remedy. Just another week of noticing the strange, funny and occasionally meaningful little things that come with being an Australian living in America.

Send us Fan Mail After eight years living in the United States, I thought I understood why Americans talk to strangers. I assumed it was friendliness. But over time, I started to realise I was looking at it the wrong way. In this episode, I share the observation that changed my perspective and why I now believe friendliness isn't the goal at all. From conversations in grocery stores to chance encounters with complete strangers, I explore what Americans may really be trying to do when they strike up a conversation. This isn't an episode about extroverts versus introverts, or whether one culture is better than another. It's about belonging, inclusion, and a part of American culture that I didn't fully appreciate when I first arrived from Australia. Sometimes it takes an outsider to notice something the people living inside a culture can no longer see.

Send us Fan Mail This week, a chest infection brought back memories I hadn't thought about in years. Even though it wasn't COVID, the symptoms felt almost identical, reminding me just how deeply certain experiences stay with us. From remembering the uncertainty of the pandemic and being separated from family in Australia, to living through storms and power outages in Tennessee, I explore how difficult moments leave lasting marks on the way we see the world. I also share a personal story about helping Georgia navigate friendship struggles at dance, and the challenge every parent faces of supporting their child without trying to rewrite their own childhood through them. In the end, one simple act of kindness reminded me that while we can't choose what happens to us, we can choose the kind of person those experiences help us become.

Send us Fan Mail When we moved from Australia to America, I assumed my daughters would simply grow up with a connection to both countries. What I didn't expect was how raising kids overseas would slowly change the way I saw home. In this episode, I share the moment my youngest daughter referred to Australia as "Dad's country" and why it made me realise something important: home doesn't always mean the same thing to every member of a family. We talk about raising children in another country, building a life overseas, watching your kids develop roots in a place that wasn't originally yours, and how living between two cultures changes the way you see both. If you've ever moved abroad, raised kids overseas, married into another culture, or built a life far from where you grew up, I think you'll relate to this conversation. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/fromdownundertodownsouth 📺 YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@FromDownUndertoDownSouth 🌏 Website https://fromdownundertodownsouth.com 📘 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068568677919 🐦 X https://x.com/aussiemika74 📩 Business enquiries: michael@fromdownundertodownsouth.com Thanks for listening.

Send us Fan Mail Some weeks are full of big moments. Others remind you just how nice an ordinary week can be. This week, I reflect on the unexpected joy of having nothing much happen. We chat about the explosion of comments on my YouTube channel, why watching strangers connect in the comments has become one of my favourite parts of creating content, and why I still choose to keep politics out of my corner of the internet. I also share a few snapshots of everyday life in Tennessee—working from the back deck while baby deer wander through the yard, losing the annual battle against tomato-stealing squirrels, the strange beauty of Southern summer storms, getting paid to watch England play France during an unusually quiet shift at work, and the ongoing Chick-fil-A vs McDonald's debate between my daughters.

Send us Fan Mail After living in America for years now, I’ve realised the biggest differences between Australia and the United States usually aren’t the obvious ones. It’s the social rhythm. The way conversations start. How strangers interact. How Americans encourage people openly. Even the way people stand in supermarkets. In this episode, I talk about the small cultural differences Australians notice almost immediately in America — and the strange moment you realise you’ve slowly started adapting too. From grocery stores and neighbours… to dance competitions and awkward coffee orders… this is a quieter look at what everyday American life actually feels like as an Australian living in Tennessee. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/fromdownundertodownsouth 🌏 Website https://fromdownundertodownsouth.com 📘 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068568677919 🐦 X https://x.com/aussiemika74 📩 Business enquiries: michael@fromdownundertodownsouth.com Thanks for listening.

Send us Fan Mail This week in America, I reflect on a milestone I never expected to reach: 10,000 YouTube subscribers. But surprisingly, the number itself isn't what has been on my mind. Instead, I've been thinking about the stories people have been sharing. Stories about family, kindness, belonging, moving to new places, and the moments that shape who we become. Reading those stories has led me to a realization about this channel, my life, and why the videos that connect most deeply are often the ones where I simply sound the most like myself. In this episode, I talk about authenticity, curiosity, starting over in a new country, my career in banking, building a media brand from scratch, and the unexpected lesson that has emerged from all of it: the more I've become comfortable being myself, the more meaningful the connections have become. If you've ever felt pressure to become someone else in order to succeed, this conversation may resonate with you. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/fromdownundertodownsouth 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FromDownUndertoDownSouth 🌏 Website https://fromdownundertodownsouth.com 📘 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068568677919 🐦 X https://x.com/aussiemika74 📩 Business enquiries: michael@fromdownundertodownsouth.com Thanks for listening.
