On a weekend when we celebrate America's birthday, FLIP IT ON ITS HEAD welcomes Roger Bennett, the co-host of the MEN IN BLAZERS podcast and NBC show, to discuss his unique journey to becoming an American citizen. Growing up in Liverpool, England in the 1980's was a grim experience, but Roger had his dreams of the America that MTV, Miami Vice and the Chicago Bears told him all about. And he turned that dream into a reality, becoming a citizen in 2018. We talk about being an immigrant and all that it means, as well as discussions of our beloved football.
Roger Bennett's memoir, (RE)BORN IN THE USA, can be found here, and I encourage you to find it in a local bookstore near you: https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/reborn
