Strange Customs and Awkward Encounters The GliderCell Podcast
-
- Education
Like previous episodes, this one is an eclectic mix of stories and thoughts. But, there was a theme - strange customs and awkwardness. For example, You flip someone off by mistake. Why is there no hand symbol for retracting that? I mean, they think you're an idiot, but they also don't know that you might think that of yourself too -- if, perhaps, it was done too quickly. And why does everything have to be so definitive? Normal people require some time to reach a decision, except in the case of an umpire, who has to know exactly what happened in a split second. Is this person all knowing?
Other questions arising in Episode Four:
What if someone tells you something and there is no correct response? Nothing.
If you are in another country as an employee and are challenged by your boss to play a game of basketball, can you win or is that a social mistake?
You have a chance to empower students in China. You want them to come up with their own ideas. Will it work?
Yes, it's an odd mix of things. But, I hope you enjoy it.
Special thanks to the very talented musician Paul Ewald for composing and performing the intro theme music.
Many thanks also to Dune Thomas. He is a great person to bounce ideas off of, as well as a superb comedic bantering partner. Dune helped with sound engineering and gave me special privileges in the podcast booth, a.k.a. "the bathysphere."
