1: Nobody Asked for This – But Here We Are

Marianne in Trondheim and Melissa in Massachusetts launch Chatting Overseas—the podcast absolutely no one requested.

In this first episode, we attempt to explain why two middle-aged, slightly hormonal, internationally confused friends decided to start an English-speaking podcast.

We cover essential topics like the weather (obviously), weird American geography explanations, Copenhagen reunions, menopause, our AI assistant “Nils,” 28 years of friendship, questionable life choices, and why five listeners might actually be enough.

Expect laughter, mild chaos, cultural confusion, and mediocre professional podcasting skills.
