    一部英剧《混沌少年时》，将青春期的迷惘与冲撞赤裸裸地展现在我们眼前。那些看似遥远的故事，其实是我们每个人成长道路上，来自家庭、学业、社交压力的真实缩影。     作为一个新手妈妈，我也常常会反思：我今天的每一个选择，会如何塑造孩子明日的性格与人生？     带着这些疑问，我邀请到了一位在美国一线工作的儿童与青少年精神科医生，一起深入探讨了孩子细腻的内心世界，聊了聊这个时代的孩子正面临着怎样的挑战，也揭开了精神科医生这个职业的神秘面纱。     无论你是关心下一代的成长，还是想借此机会回望自己的来路，都希望这期节目能为你带来慰藉与思考。 Through the Tides of Youth: A Career in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Becoming a parent has been the wildest crash course of my life.

I don’t have all the answers—actually, I have way more questions than answers. So I sought out an expert. In this episode, a child and adolescent psychiatrist unpacks how kids develop emotionally, the pressures they face, and what it truly takes to enter this field. We'll explore the daily work and the incredible rewards of helping young minds thrive. Whether you're a parent, considering a mental health career, or just care about the next generation, I hope you find this conversation both reassuring and inspiring.

    EP21 从美国小镇青年，到电影制作公司老板

    上期节目中，嘉宾云蝶提到她南加州大学新闻学院的同学里，有人已经有了自己的电影制作公司。出于好奇，我火速联系到了这位名叫Balin Schneider的有为青年，发现他的电影之路，始于大学时的一次电影课作业，起初只想为自己喜欢的乐队——上世纪九十年代风靡芝加哥的强力流行摇滚组合Material Issue——拍一支短片，但没想到这一拍就拍了整整五年，最终成为了一部让他得以在电影界闪亮登场的长片。连片中的主人公——Material Issue仍在世的两位成员——都说：“Balin，我觉得你现在比我们自己都更了解我们的过去”。此后Balin便与该部纪录片的制作班底共同创立了一家电影工作室，一边给BlackPink、Ed Sheeran、Panic! at the Disco等音乐大咖拍片挣钱，一边继续为自己的严肃纪录片理想努力。我请他聊了聊他与电影的结缘、开公司的经历、在南加州大学新闻项目深造的体验，还有从美国中西部小镇搬到大城市洛杉矶打拼的心路历程。顺便还问了问他：除了像奈飞这类的流媒体和奥斯卡提名名单，我们还能从哪儿发掘值得一看的优质纪录片？They Preserve Your Story Better Than You Do, with Documentarian Balin SchneiderWhen the power pop band "Material Issue" soared to stardom, Balin Schneider was just born. Yet it's as if he was right there in the crowd at their concerts, experiencing every beat and melody firsthand, after he spent several years making a documentary about the band’s ascent and downfall. What began as a short student project blossomed into a full-fledged feature film and a lifelong passion for filmmaking. In this episode, Lulu talks with Balin Schneider, a LA-based documentary filmmaker/reporter/Executive Director of arvonia films. His first feature film, Out of Time: The Material Issue Story (https://www.arvoniafilms.com/outoftime) premiered at Sound Unseen Film Festival and played in theaters nationwide. He has directed projects with artists such as Gym Class Heroes, Panic! At The Disco, The Academy Is…, BLACKPINK, Cobra Starship and Ed Sheeran. He currently attends the University of Southern California (USC) for his Master of Arts in Specialized Journalism with a focus on International reporting. He has written for LAist, The 74 and his work has been featured in Forbes, Axios, Brooklyn Vegan and Pitchfork.You’ll hear about:What inspired him to tell the story of a band that seems 'out of time'?What does it like to start one’s own film production company?Why might a filmmaker be interested in pursuing a journalism degree?Where can we discover good documentaries? Music Credits:Material Issue - EverythingFilms that we’ve talked about:Shoah by Claude LanzmannNina & Irena by Daniel LombrosoOasis by Justine Martin https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/05/learning/film-club-oasis.htmlPuffling by Jessica Bishopp https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-documentary/preparing-to-fly-in-puffling小宇宙/喜马拉雅/网易云音乐 @斜杠青年研究所／@心心念的Apple Podcasts/Spotify @Dedicated （搜索“dedicated lulu”更容易找到呦）我们在豆瓣上也有词条啦，欢迎搜索“斜杠青年研究所”留下你的打分和想法！

    EP20 搞一棵真圣诞树过节！探访美国加州圣诞树农场

    圣诞节近在眼前，各大商场的圣诞树都开始争奇斗艳。美国人过圣诞节，家里也要置办一棵圣诞树：在飘着雪的圣诞夜，伴着噼里啪啦的炉火声响，一家人便可围坐在圣诞树旁，拆礼物、烤棉花糖…2022年，美国人在圣诞树上的消费高达30亿美元，这还只是圣诞树本树，不算树上眼花缭乱的小挂件。有人买塑料圣诞树；而有人必须去当地农场亲手砍一棵真树回家，才算完成了圣诞节的仪式感。    本期嘉宾Donna是美国旧金山湾区Skyline Ranch圣诞树农场的主人。半个世纪前，大半个硅谷还都在种杏树；Donna的父亲面临自家果园效益不佳，改种松树和杉树，农场自此成为了圣诞树的大本营。那些农场老主顾，不仅保存着上世纪的购树发票，如今还带着自己的孙子或曾孙来农场挑选新一年的圣诞树。种一棵圣诞树需要多久？如何以正确的姿势砍树，并安全地把树载回家？圣诞树的由来是什么，我们又为什么这么爱它？    节目视频版请见B站“一千零一Yeah”：https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV13Q4y1u7Fj/?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0&vd_source=61f0f34898d4a0a274326417521dbdcf     希望树林的苍翠欲滴能在冬日里给你带来能量和治愈！The Ultimate Guide to Fresh Cut Christmas Trees, with Skyline Ranch Christmas Trees FarmIn this holiday season, we visited the Skyline Ranch Christmas Trees Farm in La Honda, California, where we we met its wonderful owner Donna. From a fruit orchard to a tree wonderland, this place has been a nature-lovers’ paradise since the 1970s. Besides bringing a festive spirit, their trees play a crucial role in nurturing the environment and spreading the joy of the great outdoors.  In this episode, Donna shares insider tips on finding that perfect tree, taking it home safe and sound, and keeping it merry all season long. She also uncovers the origins of this entire Christmas tree tradition. Grab your saw and we'll catch you at the farm - Hope you snag that dream tree!The video version of this episode is also available on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIC1o8p-tN8农场的昨日与今天 挑树、砍树、运树要领 有人众里寻他千百树 有人得来毫不费功夫 来农场对视力有益... 小宇宙/喜马拉雅/网易云音乐 @斜杠青年研究所／@心心念的Apple Podcasts/Spotify @Dedicated （搜索“dedicated lulu”更容易找到呦）

    EP19 种地吧：南瓜是不是美国秋天最好的生意？

    当超市纷纷将南瓜摆放在最显眼的位置，秋天也随之而至。咖啡店开始强推南瓜拿铁，面包房里飘着南瓜吐司香；连意大利通心粉也蹭要热度，变身成了南瓜的形状。你会惊异于南瓜的家族之大、之奇葩：橙的黄的，白的绿的；弯弯曲曲的，疙疙瘩瘩的；像飞碟的，像蘑菇的…真的很难挑出最喜欢的一只带回家。南瓜也是美国年末各大节假日里的刚需，无论是在万圣节刻灯，还是感恩节做派，都要消耗不计其数的南瓜。在万众疯狂采购南瓜之际，种南瓜的农民们，是不是要赢麻了？    带着这个问题，我在金秋十月里的一个周末前往了美国西海岸最古老的南瓜农场——Arata‘s Pumpkin Farm，他们自大萧条那会儿，就开始种南瓜、卖南瓜了。现任场主名叫Chris，是希腊裔。农场在他接管之后又增设了有希腊特色的牛头人迷宫、鬼屋、干草车等游乐设施——最老的南瓜农场也成为了最好玩的南瓜农场。Chris在他三十岁出头就来农场了，现在他的孙子都能在农场到处跑了。秋天的周末是农场最忙的时候，我在Chris稍稍闲下来时截住了他，问了问：农场所在的半月湾地区如何成为美国西海岸的南瓜之都？作为老饕的他有什么南瓜花式吃法？过季的南瓜都去哪儿了？南瓜究竟是不是美国秋天最好的生意？    节目视频版请见：https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1m94y1t7tR/Absolutely Gourd-geous: A Chat with the Owner of Arata's Pumpkin Farm Hey there, pumpkin lovers! It's that wonderful time of the year when pumpkins become the unofficial dress code at grocery stores.

    EP18 这个重庆妹，和辣椒一样热烈直爽 feat. 火锅皇后廖韦佳

    今年年初，我和火锅皇后辣酱的创始人廖韦佳聊了一次天，她说想把纯正的重庆味道带到美国市场。那时她的辣酱还漂在海上。就在上个月，韦佳带着她的品牌在全球最大的有机产品展——美国西部天然产品博览会上亮相。该展会每年都会吸引无数食品饮料新品牌，今年就有超过三千名的展商。在一票以“绿色”、“养生”为卖点的摊位中，略显重口的中式辣酱是如何吸引到业内买家的目光？    上次聊天时我和韦佳用的的是中文，她谈到了她那被奉为火锅界传奇的妈妈－－重庆小天鹅火锅的创始人和鸳鸯火锅的发明者何永智女士对她的影响。而在这次的续集里，韦佳切换到了英文语境，聊得也更多的是她自己打造品牌时的思路与考量。有人说，当你讲不同的语言时，你所展现的性格也会不一样。相信你能从这期节目中，更直接地感受到这个重庆妹子的热情、果敢与直爽；并会发现，原来辣椒还能加在这些让人意想不到的食物上…The Essence of Chongqing Hot pot, All in a Jar, with Hotpot QueenFor ethnic cuisines, navigating the balance between authenticity and adaptation can be tricky. While there’s a strong urge to stay true to the original recipe, compromises have to be made to appeal to the local palate. But Jia, the founder of a Chinese sauce brand called Hotpot Queen, doesn’t want to play it safe and aspires to bring the boldest Sichuan flavors to Americans’ plates — from sandwich to ice cream. Besides the unapologetic spiciness and numbness, her sauce has a secret element that adds a kick — the love and passion passed down through her mom and generations of Chongqing women. In this episode, Lulu talks with Jia, the founder of Hotpot Queen, whose fiery personality tastes just like her sauces. You’ll hear about: * How do brands get the most out of Natural Products Expo West?* What are the top organic food trends for 2023?* What makes Hotpot Queen different from other hot sauce brands?* Which foods pair surprisingly well with hot sauce?Music CreditsArimura Taishi - Hot pot quartet Keep It Spicy!Website: www.hotpotqueen.comInstagram: @hotpotqueen小宇宙/喜马拉雅/网易云音乐 @斜杠青年研究所／@心心念的Apple Podcasts/Spotify @Dedicated （搜索“dedicated lulu”更容易找到呦）

    EP17 麻辣：一种不是味道的味道

    火锅、烤鱼、小龙虾…一口入魂的麻辣滋味，总是让人难以自拔。其实人的味蕾只能品出酸、甜、苦、咸、鲜，麻辣中的”辣”实际是由辣椒素产生的一种灼痛感；而麻辣中的“麻”则是一种触觉，准确来说是一种频率为50赫兹的震颤。当“辣”在你的舌间燃起一把熊熊烈火，“麻”则在一旁制造些许镇静，正是如此”阴阳调和“一般的巧妙搭配，让你对麻辣风味的美食无法抗拒。所以，除了咖啡和酒，麻辣食品也是一门让人上瘾的好生意。    在一次聚会上，赵耀尝到了一位英国朋友用青花椒油点缀的奶酪意面，他意识到：原来老家重庆的花椒油不仅可以在自家厨房拌黄瓜， 还拥有走上世界人民餐桌的潜力。于是，赵耀离开了在世界银行作为能源专家的全职工作，用自己的积蓄在美国创建了花椒油品牌50Hertz Tingly Foods。川味如此多椒，或许也能引世界吃货竞折腰？美国消费者对花椒带来的这种新奇口感也的确来者不拒，他们常常给赵耀写信，分享自己是如何把花椒油浇在披萨、爆米花和冰激淋里。这给了赵耀很大的正反馈，他也坚信自己并非调味品供应商，他创办的是一家“感官公司”…The Spice That Throws A Party in Your Mouth, with Yao ZhaoWe never get tired of foods that give us a funny feeling. Like mustard that sends a shockwave through our skull. Like carbonated drinks with a playful fizz in every sip. It’s not necessarily the flavor that sets us on fire; it’s the sensation that does the magic. For those in the food industry, creating a sparkling sensory experience would be key to crafting a killer product. This is precisely what inspired Yao to start 50Hertz, a brand featuring the unique taste of Sichuan Pepper. Don’t mistake it for the fiery red chili pepper you typically see in a Sichuan dish; it’s the small round berry that hides in the plate. In this episode, Lulu talks with Yao Zhao, the founder of 50Hertz Tingly Foods. They explore what makes Sichuan pepper special, how well it has been received in the US market, and how it can make mealtime more exciting.You’ll hear about:* What was the founder’s ‘aha moment’?* What’s the science behind Sichuan pepper's buzz?* How did Yao get his early customers?* How did Yao get customers to repurchase?* What goes with Sichuan Pepper oil?

    EP16 此亚裔非彼亚裔：冲金的《瞬息全宇宙》和它的后继者

    第95届奥斯卡开奖在即，由亚裔领衔主演的《瞬息全宇宙》喜提十一项提名成为夺金热门，其主演杨紫琼也凭借此片成为奥斯卡历史上首位获得最佳女主角提名的华裔演员。影片讲述了一个正在遭遇中年危机的美国亚裔女性，突然被委以拯救世界的重任，并通过在不同宇宙间切换，体验了大厨、武打明星、石头等多种人生。虽然女主的设定仍未摆脱对老一代华裔的刻板印象，比如：经营洗衣店、说话中英夹杂、在子女面前摇身成为“虎妈”，但电影天马行空、脑洞大开的风格还是给亚裔叙事带来了诸多想象。    从2018年上映、全亚裔阵容的《摘金奇缘》起，荧屏上的亚裔就开始撕掉”人均李小龙“、温良恭谦让、聪明勤奋但缺乏个性等标签；同时，亚裔演员也逐渐从镜头边缘走向类型片和实验性电影的台中央：比如在同年上映的“桌面电影”《网络谜踪》里，亚裔不再被作为猎奇对象，他们只不过是拥有不寻常经历的普通人；主演赵约翰（John Cho）也凭借此片成为了好莱坞的亚裔之光。    除了以上这些话题电影，还有很多同样心怀理想和创意的亚裔影人在试图打破常规，他们创作时会遇到怎样的迷茫？他们希望讲出怎样的亚裔故事、塑造怎样的亚裔形象？本期嘉宾是导演王早和制片人Joyce Liu-Countryman，他们刚刚拍摄完一部围绕亚裔移民家庭的微电影，影片女主赵牡丹（Margaret Cho）是美国著名韩裔脱口秀演员，也是王早少年时期的”女神“，王早当年就是被她极具个人特色的喜剧风格所鼓舞，决心要为多元化的亚裔叙事贡献自己的力量。王早和Joyce也是《瞬息全宇宙》的粉丝，在他们眼中：好的电影无关肤色，只有当观众忘记这是一部以亚裔为主角的电影，只是单纯的沉浸在影片的精彩之中，这才算亚裔电影真正出圈了吧。Not Your Average Asian Americans, with the Filmmakers of UnconditionalWhen the thirteen-year-old Zao first saw Margaret Cho’s standup comedy on TV, he was intrigued by her loud and unapologetic persona and wished to see more not-your-average Asians on stage and screen. Later, Zao became a filmmaker himself and met Joyce, a producer who also aspires to debunk the model minority myth by creating more “irreverent” Asian characters. The two hit it off and went on making a proof-of-concept film to promote the idea. Joyce even brought Margaret on the cast and Zao was thrilled to work with his idol. Though the story is about an Asian American family, Zao and Joyce don’t think it’s ethnicity-based. It intends to address something universal, with the Asian idiosyncrasies being the cherry on the cake. And they’ve been working very hard to turn the short film into a full-length one… In this episode, Lulu talks with Zao Wang (ins @zaowangfilm) and Joyce Liu-Countryman (ins @joyceliucountryman), the director and producer of the film Unconditional: A Family Guide to Hunting. They share their takes on breaking Asian stereotypes in the media. You’ll hear about:* What’s their film about?* How to get a famous actress in your film* Why is funding for a film important?* How did Daniels make Everything Everywhere All At Once with Adobe?* Why do we love Everything Everywhere All At Once?Music Credits:Jonny Easton - BuddyJonny Easton - FallingSupport Their FilmWebsite: https://www.filmindependent.org/programs/fiscal-sponsorship/unconditional/Email: thisunconditionalfilm@gmail.com小宇宙/喜马拉雅/网易云音乐 @斜杠青年研究所／@心心念的Apple Podcasts/Spotify @Dedicated （搜索“dedicated lulu”更容易找到呦）

    EP15 99%美国学生都难以忘怀的广告 / 比ChatGPT更早的AI秘书

    全球最大的视频网站YouTube上有这样一则“洗脑”广告，很多学生党都能将其全文背诵：“Writings not that easy, but Grammarly can help. This sentence is grammatically correct but its wordy and hard to read…”      Grammarly是一款在线智能写作助手，它不但能扫清文章中的拼写和语法错误，还能根据文章的目标受众调整行文风格和语气。试想一下：当某同学论文写到崩溃，正想在YouTube上刷个视频换换脑子，却又被Grammarly的广告嘲笑了写作水平…     同为YouTube用户，这广告在我耳边“余音绕梁”了有小十年，甚至在我大学毕业后YouTube依然坚持给我推送。起初我强烈怀疑：莫非是瞧不起我们这些母语非英语的留学生？但我渐渐发现：Grammaly早就不只“圈粉”于学校和学术界，而是通过推出更多个性化的功能，吸引更多与文字打交道的人入坑；而它也逐步从一款语法检查工具转变成提升沟通效率的生产力工具。     本期嘉宾是Grammarly的产品营销经理Zachary。从沃顿商学院毕业后，Zachary带着对沟通表达和前沿科技的浓厚兴趣，果断加入了Grammarly这样一家用人工智能提升文字生产力的独角兽公司。我请Zachary谈了谈Grammarly在过去十年里的功能升级、产品转型和营销策略。此次聊天中我收获了三个关于关于Grammarly的冷知识：     1. Grammarly这样一款英文写作助手竟是由几个母语非英语的乌克兰人开发的。     2. 过去三年办公模式的转变，不光利好Zoom这类视频会议软件，也助推了Grammarly的增长。这背后是什么逻辑？     3. 不是只有那些觉得自己英语不够灵光的人在使用Grammarly；很多以英语为母语的人，哪怕对自己的写作水平再自信，也有依赖Grammarly的场景。     此外我们还聊到了像ChatGPT这样的生成式人工智能模型对Grammarly这种文字生产类产品的潜在冲击。而至于Grammarly在社交网络上的“病毒式”营销，在Zachary这样的产品营销人士看来：管他洗不洗脑，管用就好！ Next time you proofread your writing, watch out for timidity — anything that sounds vague, indirect or hesitant unless you truly mean it. It's not just the grammar that matters, but the tone. As much of our communications have gone digital across text, emails and shared docs, it’s even more crucial to know how to add sparkle to what we write so that the readers would jump up and implement what we suggest. This also raises the bar for online writing assistants —besides catching typos, those smart ones can even help tweak the tone of our writing, depending on whether we’d like to sound personable or professional. In this episode, Lulu talks with Zachary, a perpetual creator / product marketing manager @Grammarly who shares how Grammarly has gone beyond fixing college essays and turned to revamping everyone’s everyday writing. As generative AI like ChatGPT takes the stage, could productivity tools like Grammarly still find their niche? You’ll hear about: * How could Grammarly attract two diametrically opposed groups of users? * What is inbound and outbound marketing?  * How to avoid being a "solution in search of a problem"? * Why should marketers diversity their digital ad spend?
