In this podcast, we’ll be talking to people willing to share their stories of here and there. We want to go beyond race, accent, and cuisine and have conversations that will allow us to understand the meaning of here and there better. You’ll hear us wonder about what it means and how it feels to be an immigrant, expat, or otherwise. We are curious how we can see each other and be together while sharing the richness of our experiences. We hope you’ll join us and forgive us if our silliness gets in the way.

    Seeing Creativity with Naina

    ...and we are back after a looong summer break (a sabbatical some would say?) with episode number 7. This episode is a little different as it focuses on creativity, in the context of 'here and there' of course. It's a topic we haven't discussed much before and we were so happy to explore it with our guest. We are talking to Naina who originally comes from India but has lived here and there and everywhere. You must listen to this one if you like to ponder on creativity, colour, inspiration, and finding yourself. Take some time to tune in and you may find yourself flow in the calming presence of Naina herself as a bonus (who doesn't need that?). Thank you Naina, it was an honour to speak to you.

    Status Change with Liliya

    In yet another Holiday special we are talking to lovely Liliya who shares what feels like some of the hardest yet key moments and motivations behind her journey from Russia to the States. We can't help but feel that Liliya talks about things as they are or appear to her. That means we didn't have to work hard to be part of an incredibly compelling conversation. Give it a listen to discover what we hope is an easy and, at times, very funny chat about uneasy things. Follow, subscribe and share if you can.

    Season's Greetings from Sami and Sasha

    In our special holiday episode we're talking to 2 sisters, Sami and Sasha, who also happen to be best friends living on 2 different continents. Sami moved to Scotland from Chicago in her early twenties and Sasha, while still in the US, left Chicago for Portland, Oregon. Their stories were really helpful in exploring the different struggles we experience around religious and national identities but mostly, personal challenges around relationships near and far. We tried to keep it holiday-themed but that ended up all over the place, take a listen yourself. Follow, subscribe and share if you can.

    At the Table with Safir

    Today we are talking to Safir. She explains to us what it means to her to come from a relatively small island which is divided into 2 islands while living on one big island in Scotland. We try to explore some difficult feelings around being here while missing there, we talk about aunties that may never sit around our dining table and talk about grief that cannot be shared in the traditional way. We learn that there are no wrong or right answers when it comes to navigating here and there, not even when it comes to getting a tan or an ice cream cone. Follow, subscribe and share if you can.

    Janek on love, death, and potatoes

    In this episode, we're talking to Janek who left his beloved Walachia in Czechia for New York City, or rather for the love he found there. It's a big deal though Janek tries to downplay it and the conversation may often seem like we're putting a knife to his throat, which by the way, actually happened to him many times in Poland. He also gives some hitchhiking and dating advice but get ready for a real treat when Janek breaks into a traditional song about love and death. Enjoy! Follow, subscribe and share if you can.

    Going Through Changes with Paulina

    In episode 2, Paulina tells her story of coming of age in a foreign country.  Paulina, who is also Aga's sister, talks about the 'thermal shock' she experienced when she was entering adulthood in America after graduating from high school in Poland. It's an emotional conversation that explores the disconnection between here and there, our perception of cultural differences, and the experiences of here and there that shape our identity. We also check in with Sasquatch, New Jersey bears, and baobabs in Africa. Follow, subscribe and share if you can.
