S1 Ep122: Family/History/Politics - The American Connection - Frank and Mary Dietz

Note – This podcast was recorded mid-July before Biden had stepped down, but the discussion captures the existential threat to democracy in the U.S. all the same. 

In today’s episode I speak to my Uncle Frank in Philadelphia, USA, about his family history and how he met his wife Mary, who is my Mum’s sister. Mary takes part too. We talk about history, culture and politics.  

Topics Covered –
-            Introductions.
-            How Frank met my Aunt Mary.
-            The Philadelphia Eagles – the greatest football team in the world.

-            Settling in Philadelphia.
-            Experiences of the Military
