Cultureful (Trailer)

Jess: [00:00:00] Dear listener, hi, I'm Jess. I'm a Taiwanese American, my husband is Sri Lankan Tamil, I'm multilingual, and I'm very interested in culture. I am particularly interested in how people like you and me from different backgrounds and places live their lives. I love hearing about firsthand experiences. In my 20s and early 30s, I had the privilege to live abroad for over seven years in many places ranging from a rural village in Luapula, Zambia, to busy metropolitan Bangkok, from a small town in Honduras, to a port city in Morocco. One of my favorite things to do is to get to know people, to learn about places and cultures through its people, one on one, up close. It challenges stereotypes and biases I didn't know I had.

And it's just fun. I enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories, and they fascinate me, and I have lots of questions. I [00:01:00] also love up close conversations about people's lives because it gets me outside my own culture, my own assumptions about how a life should be. It reminds me that there are many ways we can go about our human existence and spend our time on this planet.

So I'm starting a podcast. It's called Cultureful. I interview friends and other guests from around the world about personal experiences. Sometimes we talk about major life events and stages like childhood, dating, weddings, parenting, and immigration journeys. But we also talk about the everyday. I'm curious about what people cook, what they do for fun, what friendship is like for them.

These things that make up a life are what I love about culture. If this is the kind of thing you enjoy, check out the podcast. Cultureful. Living, breathing, everyday, you and me culture. It's a kind of traveling. You can find it wherever you get your podcasts. It's just getting [00:02:00] started, so subscribe to support and find out when new episodes drop.
