In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas speaks with Ian Russell, a British voice actor who transitioned from a successful banking career in the UK to voice acting in the United States. Ian shares his journey of adapting to life in South Carolina, the cultural differences he has encountered, and how his British accent has become a unique asset in the American voice acting industry. The conversation also touches on the challenges of maintaining British traditions, the humor differences between the two cultures, and the importance of networking in a new environment. Ian reflects on his experiences as an expat and the evolving nature of his British identity while living in America. Links Ian Russell's Official Website Ian Russell Instagram Ian Russell Facebook Ian Russel LinkedIn Takeaways Ian transitioned from banking to voice acting after moving to the US. His British accent has become a significant asset in his voice acting career. Cultural differences between the UK and the US have impacted his family. Networking in the US is more direct compared to the UK. He has embraced American customs like Thanksgiving and Halloween. Ian's daughters have adapted differently to life in the US. He has faced challenges in voice acting, including accent expectations. Tea culture in the US is vastly different from the UK. Humor styles differ significantly between British and American cultures. Ian plans to spend more time in both the UK and the US as an empty nester. Sound Bites On His Career Transition: "I volunteered as tribute, you know, and they let me go. And then we said, well, what are we going to do next? And so we went, let's sell up. Let's move to the US." On His British Accent as a Professional Asset: "You kind of stand out don't you? In a crowd of people there might be 400 people in a room and you probably might well be the only Brit so you stand out and that makes you memorable." On Cultural Differences in Business: "In the UK, we're also apologetic about everything... 'Well, I if you really must have my card, you know, that sort of thing.' Whereas here it's like, 'here, buddy, take my card. If you need a voiceover, give me a give me a shout.'" On Voice Acting Challenges: "Most British actors think they can do an American accent and most American actors think they can do a British accent. And probably most of the time we can tell." On Tea Culture Shock: "They got some iced tea and put it in the microwave to heat it up... I had sweet iced tea with creamer. I was I couldn't drink it." On American Assumptions: "Are you from Australia? And I think they sense that I'm from somewhere else, but they're not quite sure where. And so they pick Australia because maybe it's a bit more exotic." On British Heritage in America: "Almost every American will claim to have English, Irish or Scottish heritage. And I think that's a desire for the root, where am I from?" On His Unique Position: "My naivety when I arrived, I thought I'll be the only one. And of course, I'm not. There's dozens and dozens. But most of us are friends now."

Historian and broadcaster Rafe Heydel-Mankoo joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping conversation on the slow-motion collapse of Britain—its monarchy, its military, and its moral compass.Rafe warns that the UK is facing a national identity crisis, accelerated by mass immigration, multicultural fragmentation, and a political class ashamed of British heritage.

We look at how British culture and identity have historically been used by Kiwi and other Commonwealth marketers and advertisers to sell products abroad. Felicity Barnes is a senior lecturer in history at Waipapa Taumata Rau, the University of Auckland. She has researched how advertisers between the first and second world wars constructed a shared British identity in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. What she's found is outlined in her new book Selling Britishness: Commodity Culture, the Dominions and Empire. During the inter-war period New Zealand, Australia and Canada, filled British shop windows, newspaper columns, and cinema screens with "British to the core" Canadian apples, "British to the backbone" New Zealand lamb, and "All British" Australian butter. Felicity Barnes says a thread running through the marketing was selling a Dominion-styled British identity. Some international advertising campaigns featured touring sports-people and politicians championing the products of their home countries to British shoppers. And from 1934, here is Australian test cricket captain Bill Woodfull's appeal for Empire buying, talking about being part of one big British family.

When a modern opera debuts, normally the stakes aren't very high. But when it's composed by Benjamin Britten and premieres in England after World War II, that's a different story. Britten's high-profile operas––whose performances were attended by Queen Elizabeth II––were seen as a reflection of British postwar identity. An interview with musicologist Imani Danielle Mosley on how a series of strange operas by queer, modernist composer became a referendum on what it meant to be British––and why that matters.Imani Mosley is assistant professor of musicology at the University of Florida's School of Music.Show notes and more over at soundexpertise.org!Questions?

A personal and candid conversation with Britain's most provocative historian in which he speaks about his early life, influences and career, and the journey that brought him to our screens. Calling the Henry VIII's break with Rome the "other Brexit", Starkey compare and contrasts Theresa May's negotiations with the EU and Henry VIII's negotiations with the Pope. His verdict is not one the P.M. would wish to hear. Moving on to English identity, we learn why the Tudors dominate England's cultural landscape -- particularly Henry VIII and Elizabeth I -- and why the British Empire is unique in having transformed its colonies/dominions into self-governing, sovereign nations. From landmark documentary series to political panel shows, David Starkey, once dubbed "the Rudest Man in Britain", never fails to make compelling television. Here, however, is an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of an important contributor to contemporary cultural discourse. .

We’ve all heard the news. Since last year’s referendum, the UK has become a more hostile environment for people from ethnic minority backgrounds, with the number of hate crimes soaring by 41 per cent. Of course, there are various levels and nuances to this story so for today’s episode we are taking a deep dive into the issue with help from Priya Minhas, a co-author of the Opinium Multicultural Britain report, as well as Adam Drummond, Opinium’s senior research manager. We discuss whether white Briton’s too are aware of this increase in racially motivated attacks, how well integrated the UK is and how this is perceived differently by different social groups, and whether long-term trends of immigrant communities moving to the countryside will have a positive effect on integration going forward. Apologies for the poor audio quality today. We had a few technical issues while recording but thought you guys would still like to hear this episode.

Britain was one of the most prolific nation of slavers, and yet we tend to elide this from our histories. Dr Pettigrew considers British slavery within our history and as a part of the global history of slavery:http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/how-to-place-slavery-into-british-identityThis lecture will revisit the determinants of British identity by examining the problem of slavery in British history from Roman times to the present day. Freedom and slavery provide the compass points for much of the British story but the causes, experiences, and legacies of slavery have not been fully integrated into British consciousness. An analysis of the economic, political, intellectual, and constitutional meanings of slavery in British history can suggest means to integrate slavery constructively into the story of Britain.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College Website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/how-to-place-slavery-into-british-identityGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
