Podcast episodes about a cross-cultural interaction?
August 21, 2022 8:11 AM Subscribe
I am putting together a final project for my students, in which they will listen to one of a list of podcast episodes and then present the lessons learned from the episode. Please suggest EPISODES of podcasts that deal with a cross-cultural interaction of some kind.
The students in this program are studying cross-cultural communication. I am looking for a few more podcast EPISODES that fulfill the following qualities:
* decent sound quality
* approximately 40-60 minutes long or shorter
* discuss a cross-cultural interaction
* are at least somewhat entertaining, or at least not soporific
Some examples I already have are:
"Captain Cook's First Voyage" You're Dead To Me
"Njinga of Ndongo and Matamba" You're Dead To Me
"The Translator, Malintzin" What's Her Name?
"The Viking Conquest of Normandy" The French History Podcast
"The Backwaters of Kerala" Wonders of the World Podcast
I would like to find some examples of cross-cultural interactions in other parts of the world. Era doesn't matter. Are there particular episodes of podcasts that you think might fit the bill?

I dont have any specific episodes, but I recommend looking at the NPR podcast, "rough translation". This is basically the theme of the podcast.

Rough Translation is one of my very favorite podcasts. Some specific episodes you could consider:
The (current) most recent episode, As Russians approach his town, the cat must still be fed.
The Good Russians
Liberte Egalite French Fries and Couscous
Welcome to the New World
How to be an Anti-Casteist
So Long, Black Pete
Hotel Corona
American Surrogate: 30 Months Later
WeChats from the Future
Mom in Translation
Austenistan
The Refugee’s Dating Coach
Anna in Somalia
I have listened to all of these, though some were at their initial release i.e. quite a while ago. I *think* that they all meet your request for inclusion of a cross-cultural interaction, or at least one culture’s influence on another, but it would be good to check the specific episodes to confirm my memory. They are all found at the link atomicstone posted above.
