Episode 559: The Bittersweet Life Origin Story: The 10th Anniversary Show

Can you believe that this little indie show premiered way back in March of 2014??  That's an entire decade of The Bittersweet Life! Have you been with us from the very start? Or have you joined us late but caught up on all the episodes over the years? Or perhaps those first few seasons are a mystery that you've never tapped? Either way we're going to have fun on this episode. In honor of 10 (and a half) years of this show (and actually 11 since the taping of this pilot episode in Katy's Trastevere apartment) we listen all the way back to Episode Number One, and comment on it in real time. How relevant is that discussion? What was it like for Tiffany, with zero audio background, to tape her first podcast episode? How much has the show changed and evolved over the decade?  We hope you'll enjoy listening back as much as we did.  And if you haven't heard those early seasons, why not dig into our archives? There are some real gems back in our early era. ------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.
