Sean Tumilson
Hi, I'm Sean Tumilson, and on KeepTalking I post daily episodes on different topics that I am an expert in (or at least claim to be): language learning, health & fitness, daily habits, and global & societal issues. Why so many topics instead of one "niche"? Because I have worked in half a dozen different industries in a rapidly changing world, and have too many areas of interest to narrow it down to just one topic. Most of KeepTalking's episodes are in English with occasional episodes in Spanish. Enjoy! Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keeptalkingco/support
