Ever wondered what happens when sisters span three time zones and life cultures collide?
Hold to Talk is an unfiltered, laughter-loaded podcast that follows British sisters now living in the USA and Portugal—one sister’s Boston-based journeys and the other’s Portuguese adventures. Each episode dives into the highs, the mishaps, and everything in between as they explore how immigration has reshaped their relationships, routines, and outlooks. Expect raw honesty, warm humour, and heartfelt conversations.
