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.

For this episode I decided to turn the microphones around and let my dear friend, Jane Hermstedt, interview me about my book, We Fade to Green. We talk about how the book came about, what parts are actually autobiographical, what role Hungarian culture and food play in the book, as well as about the importance of family and community, cultural and generational acceptance, and small business and caring for the environment.
