ABOUT
Expat Sandwich features an eclectic mix of American expats who share stories of the best, weirdest and worst experiences of living abroad. We strive to reveal lesser known cultural oddities such as the "American yes and the French no" (Episode 001) memorable language mishaps, and a few reality checks such as visas or the sometimes mind-boggling complications of simply getting internet installed. And yeah, we keep it real. It's definitely not all glamour.
Expat Sandwich is created and hosted by Marty Walker, produced in a makeshift recording studio in her walk-in closet in Dallas, Texas. So why would someone who spent a lifetime immersed in visual art and zero experience in journalism want to create a podcast about expats? In her words: Travel abroad is kind of like an out of body experience--it allows you to return to your native land with fresh eyes. I'm obsessed with the cultural collisions that happen when faced with a new environment and a shaky grasp of language. It's uniquely humbling.
