This Podcast can be about anything and everything. An eclectic podcast made for my enjoyment and your entertainment.

Why listen

The Mike Penguin Podcast feels like dropping into a curious friend's living-room conversation, with episodes moving from social media habits and personality tests to fitness, coffee, travel, movies, and personal stories. It works best for listeners who like informal, reflective discussions that are less about polished expertise and more about thinking out loud with guests, family, and friends.
