Man, 3 months into 2021 and we’ve already had to say goodbye to a lot of people, and with the most recent, Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare, THE Founding Father of this great nation, Dan and I thought it best to address the situation and talk about death, how we’re facing it, and what it means to us.

Hey everyone! I know it's been a while (that SOE was crazy right? 😅😰) but here's episode 2 of Not Culture, with guest Izabell Druma! Izzy and I talk about what she's been watching since going on lockdown, the state of emergency in the nation, how people can make the most of the lockdown, the kind of social media content going around right now, and how we get around POM city in the SOE! All while Ms. Druma plays the Ukulele.
Now just a disclaimer, this episode was recorded 4 weeks ago when the first lockdown was about to end, so some of the info might be a bit dated, but I really like our discussion on social media content, and how to get around Moresby safely.

Not Culture - The Podcast Episode 1 - Introduction!
The first-ever edition of Not Culture - The Podcast!
Hi, I’m Godfree, and this is Dan. We wanted to finally have our thoughts on record about anything we enjoy talking about and work on our conversation skills, so we decided to make a podcast! In this episode, we talk about some of the things making headlines, what’s up with the Coronavirus, The Last of Us getting a TV show, our thoughts on Battinson, and how we use the internet in PNG!
Feel free to join in the conversation, comment, critique, and just let us know what you think! It's our first one, so it’s really quite terrible, but we’re going to work on making this as good as possible. Catch the next one in about 2 weeks!
A big thank you to the Clueless Panda for producing our music and sound effects!
