Bobs Your Uncle Podcast
Each week, Bob Mendelsohn will take us on a journey, 18 minutes of time together, learning and laughing and feeling what's going on in the world around us. It's really a podcast about people and for people. Topics might include sports, books, religion, and words themselves-- people though are our #1 concern. Broadcast each TUESDAY from his home in Sydney, Australia. Photos of the guests are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bobmendo/albums/72177720296857670. You are invited to share your thoughts via Instagram or FB, even via audio if you'd like. Often we get into topics about health and wellness, and we find those fascinating.
