Language and Culture with Dr. J

https://feed.podbean.com/languageandculturewithdrj/feed.xml

This podcast focuses on interviews with performing and visual artists, as well as on thought-provoking and engaging discussions about the cultural habits, practices, and values that shape who we are. The older episodes center more around the connections between language and culture, and examine the cultural aspects of mono- and multiculturalism, third-culture kid identity, and the challenges of living and working across different parts of the world.

Most of the episodes are in English, but I bring you occasional interviews in German, French, Spanish, and Hungarian.
