142: Eurobuck Paul interviews Ukrainian women who fled to St. Omer, France

Author: David and Del July 7, 2023 Duration: 35:42
Send a text Paul Tregouet, another St. Omer angel, pinch hits for an under-the-weather Dave and delivers a very personal and bittersweet set of interviews at Mary Meaney's house with several of the Ukrainian women who fled with their children to France when the war began. Yulia is an accountant and lawyer, Olga is an accountant, and Dasha is a journalist and media creator. They talk about the hurdles they faced in being uprooted from their professions and communities and le...

Join David and Del, two long-time friends with a shared history of curiosity, as they navigate the strange and familiar territories of modern life in their podcast, TWO OLD BUCKS. This isn't a structured lecture or a frantic news recap; it's the sound of two companions thinking out loud, pulling threads from society, arts, books, and culture to see what unravels. You'll hear the easy rhythm of a deep friendship, where a documentary film might lead to a personal memory, which then sparks a commentary on something read years ago. The perspective is uniquely theirs-a blend of earned wisdom and a refusal to take anything, including themselves, too seriously. Expect conversations that are frequently thoughtful and sometimes whimsical, sporadically funny, and invariably insightful. They examine the world through cataract-clouded eyes, which seems to grant them a focus on what actually matters, even if, as they admit, sometimes they're not quite sure. Listening to this podcast feels like sitting in on a great talk between two explorers who have seen a lot but haven't lost their taste for the journey.
