In this episode hosted by Rowan and Ashley, we once again have the privilege of speaking with teacher/actor/director extraordinaire Brian Knox McGugan as he recounts his most recent globe-trotting adventures. Other topics of discussion include how "bamboo diplomacy" can be used to secure a teaching job in Thailand after age 59, Brian's thesis on the unseen effects of social media use, and good news for the LGBTQ+ community abroad!
