    Idiots Still Talking Idioms! Special Reissue
    2025/10/23
    After recently exploring what certain words and phrases say about culture, we thought it time to re-explore what other certain phrases - idioms - say about - yes - culture! With that, enjoy this special reissue of our 47th episode, "Idiots Talking Idioms", from March 2024. (And don't forget: Dean’s newest book, "Business Beyond Borders: Stories, Tales, and Lessons Learned from Working in 100 Cultures Around the World”, will be released Nov. 4th in hardcover and Nov. 6th in Kindle and audiobook. Pre-order it today!) Dean and Tom have truly “fallen down the rabbit hole” in this episode as they explore different idioms across cultures, offering context as well as advice on what to do when faced with unknown idioms on your travels. (A preview: An idiom in another country may feel like it “comes out of left field,” but give yourself some grace - you’re not an ‘idiom idiot’!) We know that you’ll enjoy listening to this idiotic idiomatic episode “as soon as possible” (when is this? that’s up to you!) because you’re all “pieces of bread”, “salt of the earth”, and other figurative fundamental foodstuffs! ***Subscribe to Dean’s Substack here to find all of Dean’s “Culture’s Consequences” articles, CultureQuizzes, and much much more!*** Have a cultural question or episode idea?

  • 60: Dean Wrote A Book! & “Moore” Culture Lit (Part 2 of 2)

    60: Dean Wrote A Book! & “Moore” Culture Lit (Part 2 of 2)
    2025/09/25
    We’re back for Part 2 and for our 60TH EPISODE! In this even more culture-lit-laden episode, Dean, Tom, and Torin resume poring over Christopher Moore’s book “The Untranslatables”, about terms representing universal concepts that don’t have a direct translation in U.S. English, like the French term “esprit de l’escalier”, the Mandarin word “guanxi”, and the Bantu word “ubuntu”. Dean’s stories, tales, and lessons learned abound (and astound) as the bibliophilic blokes explore why the terms’ original cultures required, and others did not require, the creation and use of these terms in their respective parts of the globe. We heartily thank you sixty times over for laughing and learning with us over sixty episodes! Speaking of Dean’s stories galore and loving books: We KNOW you’ll love Dean’s newest book, "Business Beyond Borders: Stories, Tales, and Lessons Learned from Working in 100 Cultures Around the World”. It’ll be released Nov. 4th in hardcover and Nov. 6th in Kindle and audiobook - pre-order it today! ***Special thanks to Christopher Moore and “The Untranslatables: The Most Intriguing Words from Around the World”.*** Have a cultural question or episode idea?

    59: Dean Wrote A Book! & “Moore” Culture Lit (Part 1 of 2)
    2025/08/28
    Dear listeners: As you’ve enjoyed nearly sixty episodes of Dean’s stories, tales, and lessons learned from working in a hundred cultures around the world (and if not, why are you here? this is what we do!), we know you’re absolutely going to love Dean’s newest book, "Business Beyond Borders: Stories, Tales, and Lessons Learned from Working in 100 Cultures Around the World”. It’ll be released Nov. 4th in hardcover and Nov. 6th in Kindle and audiobook - pre-order it today! In this culture-lit-laden episode, Dean and Tom crack open Dean’s motivations for writing this newest book compared to his previous books, why this book is so important now, and how the stories in this book are the “smallest nuggets” that illustrate culture’s “biggest impact”. Then, the book club continues with the start of a study into Christopher Moore’s book “The Untranslatables”, about words that don’t have a direct translation in U.S. English, like the German word schadenfreude. What does it say about German culture that it required the creation of a specific word for the concept behind schadenfreude - and what does it say about other cultures that they did not? Listen to find out, and because there was far more to discuss before this chapter is closed, stay tuned for next month’s Part 2! ***Special thanks to Christopher Moore and “The Untranslatables: The Most Intriguing Words from Around the World”.*** Have a cultural question or episode idea?
