BeanCast 178: There's Always A Sale At Macy's

LISTEN TO THE SHOW NOW OR SUBSCRIBE FOR AUTODOWNLOADING

A show that features Black Friday discussed by a group of non-US-born panelists? Hellz yeah!

Inadvertently I booked an entire panel of naturalized and non-citizen panelists this week, representing the UK, Australia, Canada and South Africa. So the result was a global perspective on an event we take for granted in the states. It was a brilliant conversation filled with twists, turns and laughter.

Hope you enjoy the program. And please remember, I'd love some more Twitter followers to continue the conversation there. Just follow @TheBeanCast.
