Summary
Did you know Lindy once wrote and performed a whole entire 80's sitcom-style theme song for this podcast? She did! And did you know Australia will come for you if you try to sneak a plant or animal in? Meagan knows all too well!
In this little mini-episode, you'll hear the podcast theme song that almost was. And you'll learn about one of the more cringeworthy punishments the Australian government handed down to a couple who tried to bring their pets along on a visit.

It's a show about exploring the nooks and crannies of the culture that surrounds you.

| 0:25.6 | Like Anne's tremendously popular newsletter, the Culture Study podcast is funny, insightful, and kind of weird. |
