I'd Love to Chat... with The Luvely Rae
Welcome, let's have a chat. If you've ever had a chance to chat with The Luvely Rae at one of her New York City shows, then you may recall that she is always more than happy to discuss the little things, and as always to hear your thoughts. In this podcast The Luvely Rae (a rather lovely intellectual ecdysiast) invites you stay awhile for a brief conversation on the cultures and cultural changes. Episodes are often extensions of conversations she started with students on Cambly (an English language learning platform), or moments she's shared with friends. The thought provoking topics are meant to be conversation starters, and are provided in an entertaining format akin to the popular weather girls of 1955 and the stimulating interludes of Gypsy Rose Lee.

Is the American Dream Dead?
Let's chat about "The American Dream." The other day, I had a conversation with a gentleman from Brazil and he asked me if the American Dream was dead. We had a wonderful discussion and got me thinking. So many of us talk about "The American Dream," but how many of us can actually define it, let alone know where the phrase comes from. What on earth is the difference between a dream and a nightmare? It seems we all want one, but not the other, though aren't the both states of unconsciousness? In this episode, I thought we'd chat about it.
