Why did you choose this theme?

There are so many cultural insights that we can get from listening to expats' podcasts. These podcasters share their experiences living daily life abroad, offering very different views of the cultures of their adopted countries than travel podcasts do -- especially when they make hilarious cultural missteps.

We'd love to hear from you about what you're listening to and what you are discovering, whether it's through earbuds or through other podcast recommendations sources.

Arielle

Please feel free to write to us on social media and let us know what is in your earbuds. Of course, today on the show, we've got more podcast recommendations for you right now. This week's earbuds theme is called From an Expat Lens.

00;02;20;05 - 00;02;34;23

Arielle

It comes to us from Steph Fuccio who herself is an American expatriate living abroad. She's been living outside of the U.S. on and off for more than 15 years. So for earbuds this week, she has gathered five podcast episodes created by other expats around the globe.

00;02;35;02 - 00;02;51;03

Arielle

Why did Steph choose this theme? Here's what she writes. There are so many cultural insights that we can get from listening to expats podcasts. These podcasters share their experiences living daily life abroad, offering very different views of the cultures of their adopted countries

00;02;51;12 - 00;03;13;15

Arielle

than travel podcasts do, especially when they make hilarious cultural missteps. In a moment, you'll hear my chat with Steph. We discuss her podcast picks, her coffee obsession, what it's like living abroad, and her many podcast related endeavors. If her name sounds familiar, it's because Steph is the founder of Pod Rev Day, Podcast Review Day, which is a

00;03;13;15 - 00;03;25;17

Arielle

monthly internet based event that encourages people to review podcasts and spread the word about what they're listening to. If you want to learn more about Pod Rev Day and find out how to participate, just visit the hashtag on Twitter.

00;03;25;23 - 00;03;39;24

Arielle

It's #podrevday. After my chat with Steph, I am excited to share that we have a trailer drop from Adell Coleman, who is the chief content officer at DCP Entertainment. Adell was on Feedback with Earbuds a while back.

00;03;40;05 - 00;03;59;12

Arielle

She curated a list called Underrepresented Voices: Diversity Matters. We'll link to that list in the show notes. On this episode she is bringing us a trailer drop from DCP's podcast, Say Their Name. More on that soon. After the trailer drop, we've got a few more podcasts recommendation goodies for you.

00;03;59;29 - 00;04;13;17

Arielle

Then we'll close out for the week and send you on your merry way to listen to more podcasts. Let's get to my chat with Steph Fuccio. (interview begins) Steph. Welcome to Feedback with Earbuds. I'm very excited to chat with you today.

00;04;13;20 - 00;04;15;09

Arielle

Where are you joining us from?

00;04;15;09 - 00;04;19;20

Steph

Yeah, hi! I'm super excited to be here right now I'm in Rome, Italy.

00;04;19;20 - 00;04;26;19

Arielle

Rome, Italy, and you have been traveling the world, living abroad for a long time. Tell me about how that started and when?

00;04;26;19 - 00;04;30;04

Steph

Oooh! I am actually a terrible traveler.

00;04;30;04 - 00;04;47;08

Steph

I tend- (Arielle laughs) pre-pandemic. I was a an expat for about 17 years and I lived in a bunch of different countries, mostly in Asia, because I was teaching English and I would spend like a year or two years, three years in one place and then change.

00;04;47;27 - 00;05;02;08

Steph

But the pandemic, as with everything else, has, you know, changed everything. So I'm now more of a digital nomad working online while I'm visa hopping around until things become less crazy.

00;05;02;08 - 00;05;04;02

Arielle

Do you have a favorite place that you've lived?

00;05;04;11 - 00;05;24;06

Steph

Oh, no. I mean, I have a favorite place for specific things. For parks, it's probably Japan. For food, it's probably Vietnam and probably also coffee. Although now Italy for coffee is taking over as well. So. So for very niche things, I have favorite places, but it's impossible to pick one place for everything.

00;05;24;10 - 00;05;36;04

Arielle

Coffee is definitely a big thing for you on social media. Whenever you post any podcast related thing, you include a latte or a cortado, or whatever it is. Tell me about the the theory behind that. What's up with that?

00;05;36;08 - 00;05;51;01

Steph

Oh, there isn't one. (Arielle laughs) I just realized that if I posted pictures that it would stick out my my posts would stick out more, and then I started to realize that I was taking. A lot of coffee pictures, and they had like a feel to them, kind of like emoticons do.

00;05;51;09 - 00;06;08;24

Steph

And so I started to realize, oh, if I make this frothy cappuccino black and white, it's kind of the ominous feel of this post or this happy macchiato feels like this. Hey, come join us in this event. So I just started to kind of pair them up, and it's now a thing.

00;06;09;17 - 00;06;14;19

Arielle

It definitely is. I definitely associate you with coffee (Steph laughs)and being an expat, those are your things.

00;06;14;19 - 00;06;18;11

Steph

Yay! Good! Then my messaging is clear!

00;06;18;11 - 00;06;24;17

Arielle

Yes. And podcast So how did podcasts come into this? How did you first start listening and then start creating?

00;06;24;19 - 00;06;39;23

Steph

Oh my gosh, we'll start listening was way back in the days when you had to drag the MP3 file over onto your like. What was it? IRiver or something? Like super duper long ago, but it wasn't until about almost five years ago that I started my own.

00;06;40;07 - 00;06;58;16

Steph

I was one of those healing projects where I left a Ph.D. program is trying to work through my emotions. And so I picked something that was absolutely positively as little academic as possible, and I just started to do a podcast for fun, and one led to three led to eight led to just a ridiculous amount that I

00;06;58;16 - 00;07;07;27

Steph

don't even know anymore. And all the other stuff kind of compiled on with time. You know how it is there. I'm like, you've got like 7 billion hacks in podcasting.

00;07;07;27 - 00;07;11;15

Arielle

(both laugh)Yeah. So run me through your podcasts that are still running now.

00;07;11;19 - 00;07;27;27

Steph

They're rebranding again. OK. All right. I had a bunch with many. I keep changing names. I like experimenting on my own. I did my clients. Yeah, my clients stuff. All you know, I like. There's best practices and we should have, you know, everything in order at all times.

00;07;27;27 - 00;07;33;12

Steph

And for mine, it's that spaghetti against the wall kind of thing or spaghetti on the ceiling, which

00;07;33;12 - 00;07;36;21

Arielle

You throw it against the wall, the ceiling, you see what sticks.

00;07;36;21 - 00;07;38;14

Steph

Anything, anywhere, anywhere.

00;07;38;14 - 00;07;39;06

Arielle

Wherever.

00;07;39;06 - 00;07;50;29

Steph

Yeah, yeah. But right now, Podcast Editing Plus is specifically about podcasting, podcast editing, and Geopats is the one that is a re-merging of

00;07;50;29 - 00;08;04;02

Steph

the eight that I broke out of the three that turned into eight. Yeah, so many different themes. It's very ex-pat focused, but it also focuses on people who are touched by many different cultures, even if they're not an expat.

00;08;04;02 - 00;08;16;01

Steph

So it's got a mix of folks and there's like a language themed wine, a coffee themed one, of course, books. And I can't even remember the different themes because it's been on a bit of a hiatus for the past year.

00;08;16;10 - 00;08;27;11

Steph

But we've got many, many different themes, all within the Geopats umbrella, and that's the one that's being revamped and hopefully re- reinvigorated in the spring. I hope to start a new season there.

00;08;27;11 - 00;08;29;28

Arielle

I have a lot of questions, a lot of different directions.

00;08;29;28 - 00;08;40;06

Arielle

I want to go in with you, but I guess, I guess I'll ask this how did you get into editing? So you have now a podcast called Podcast Editing Plus and you have a newsletter about podcast editing. How did those start?

00;08;40;07 - 00;08;52;15

Steph

Yeah, that was the pandemic thing, too. I was job hunting in Germany at the beginning of the pandemic, and a couple of people contacted me at the same time and said, Hey, do you know anybody that edits podcasts for a client?

00;08;52;15 - 00;09;08;22

Steph

And I was like, Well, I guess I could do this until...and here we are like almost a couple of years later, editing my own podcast, I was kind of cringy with, not for my own voice. I'm OK with that. It was just I just sounded how much I did that.

00;09;08;22 - 00;09;18;24

Steph

That was the thing that really an idea that came at minute 20. Why didn't that come at minute two? And that would to frustrate me. But I noticed that when I was doing it for clients, I actually really liked it.

00;09;18;24 - 00;09;33;24

Steph

I didn't have any of that attachment to it, and I could play more with the tech and do all that kind of stuff. So I started to get into it a lot and I started to play with the different DAWs and oh gosh, then get into all kinds of communities and now make creating my own and stuff

00;09;33;24 - 00;09;38;10

Steph

like that. So I just kind of deep dove into it and haven't looked back, really.

00;09;38;10 - 00;09;41;19

Arielle

So DAW: digital area workstation? Is that right?

00;09;41;19 - 00;09;54;24

Steph

Yes. A lot of people would know, like Adobe Audition, people in the networks would know, like pro tools, super geeks who I respect madly would know, like Reaper, Hindenburg.

00;09;54;24 - 00;09;56;16

Arielle

So what's your favorite? Do you have one?

00;09;56;16 - 00;10;11;28

Steph

Oh, OK. For leveling and narration rearranging Hindenburg? For sure. Audition for so many things I can't use it for, but I know it can do and and Reaper I love to video edit with.

00;10;12;06 - 00;10;13;01

Arielle

Wow.

00;10;13;01 - 00;10;14;14

Steph

Yeah, it depends on the purpose.

00;10;14;14 - 00;10;21;15

Arielle

So all of this and more you can get at Steph's newsletter, which is Podcast Editing Plus. And where can they get that on Substack, right?

00;10;21;15 - 00;10;28;25

Steph

It is on Substack. Yep, and we also have a YouTube channel and we're doing live events every two weeks with editors and there's so much more

00;10;28;25 - 00;10;30;02

Steph

. It's all in the newsletter.

00;10;30;02 - 00;10;43;27

Arielle

I will link to everything in the show notes, but let's now move on to your podcast picks for this week's theme, which is called Through an Expat Lens. You chose five podcast episodes to go along with that theme, and we're now going to go through them and you'll tell us a bit about

00;10;43;27 - 00;10;45;10

Arielle

each one. How does that sound?

00;10;45;10 - 00;10;46;03

Steph

Sounds good.

00;10;46;03 - 00;10;56;02

Arielle

OK. The first podcast that you chose is called Bangkok Podcast, and the episode is called Accents, Dialects and Stereotypes with Stu J. Raj. So tell me about that one.

00;10;56;02 - 00;11;05;20

Steph

Yeah, the Bangkok podcast is two North Americans Greg and Ed, who are who have been living in Bangkok for, I want

00;11;05;20 - 00;11;22;19

Steph

to say, at least 15 years each like they've been. There are long term expats in Thailand, and so they like with each episode. It's really amazing. They do like different slices of living there and not just traveling or like the surface stuff like they go deep into stuff.

00;11;22;19 - 00;11;42;27

Steph

And this episode is very much so that. They talk to Stu about all of these aspects of the Thai language that you never think about, and there's all kinds of language geekiness that they bounce around. And because Greg, who's hosting this particular interview, has lived there so long, he has a lot of stuff that he can feed

00;11;42;27 - 00;11;48;21

Steph

into the interview. So it's really, really language geeky and very culturally interesting.

00;11;48;21 - 00;11;54;04

Arielle

The next episode comes from a podcast, The Global Chatter, and it's called What Are You?

00;11;54;04 - 00;11;58;27

Steph

I LOVE THIS ONE! OK, I'm totally biased on this. This is what Amanda Bates is the host, and she's one of my clients.

00;11;59;06 - 00;12;09;18

Steph

But honestly, and I love most of the episodes, but this one I literally had to stop working and walk around and think, and I was like, Oh my God, what? She just said, what she just said is amazing!

00;12;09;27 - 00;12;31;12

Steph

And so I've been touting this episode around for a little while. But what what Elisabeth does in this is she's talking about that persnickety difference of what you look like culturally versus where you are and how different that can be sometimes and how she's dealt with it throughout her life and the many different countries that she's lived

00;12;31;12 - 00;12;44;24

Steph

in, the very, very different cultural context. And I just think it's such a meaty, cool conversation to have because like a really multicultural country or at least the cities within the US, we don't think about this as much.

00;12;44;24 - 00;12;52;24

Steph

But in a lot of countries, if you don't look like you're from that country, it's really challenging. So I love this one.

00;12;52;24 - 00;12;57;07

Arielle

The next episode comes from the Saigoneer podcast. Am I pronouncing that right, like Saigon?

00;12;57;07 - 00;12;58;04

Steph

Yeah, I think so.

00;12;58;04 - 00;13;04;01

Arielle

Yeah. And it's called things we lost to the water. What is that one about?

00;13;04;01 - 00;13;13;13

Steph

Yeah. So this is an ex-pat podcast from, like you said, from Saigon, which is now Ho Chi Minh City in southern Vietnam. And I used to live in the north.

00;13;13;14 - 00;13;18;22

Steph

So when I said, I think so for the pronunciation, there's a very North-South divide.

00;13;18;22 - 00;13;20;01

Arielle

Did you live in Hanoi?

00;13;20;01 - 00;13;27;16

Steph

I did. Yeah, yeah. So there's a lot about Saigon, I don't know, but what I do know is that the host Mike is super good at interviewing folks.

00;13;27;16 - 00;13;44;22

Steph

And in this case, he's interviewing an author about a book he wrote about immigration like Vietnam, his Vietnamese parents immigrating to the US, and all of the cultural tanglings and challenges and things that come with that. It was really fun interview to listen to.

00;13;44;23 - 00;13;48;05

Steph

It's fun and sometimes tough because immigration's hard.

00;13;48;05 - 00;13;59;15

Arielle

The next episode comes from Black Broads Abroad, hard to say, and the episode is single motherhood in Korea. Why this photographer left the Divided States for a Teaching Opportunity in Korea.

00;13;59;16 - 00;14;02;10

Arielle

Long title. I'm sure it's a great episode. What's it about? (laughs)

00;14;02;10 - 00;14;17;08

Steph

This is so much fun! I rarely get to talk about my expat life, funny enough. And so this is like, This is my jam. Totally. So this one, the host for Phelena Jean, is talking to her guest, Erin, about so many different things about living in Korea

00;14;17;08 - 00;14;29;21

Steph

as an American expat. And I don't know Phelena's full story. I haven't listened to a ton of episodes, but the ones that I have, I like. But she clearly lived there for a while because she was talking about, like the Judge Jim joke.

00;14;29;21 - 00;14;48;21

Steph

But Jojo, I'm going to get it wrong. I never lived in Korea, but my husband did. But there's this spa thingies that you can go to and all kinds of things. She's talking about all of that and Erin being like a single mom there and cultural differences and and being a black woman walking around Korea, just the

00;14;49;02 - 00;15;03;18

Steph

the visual minority ness of all of that. And it was such a meaty, interesting episode and just a slight disclaimer. They do curse quite a bit. And but it's like that impactful. Something's really exciting or frustrating, kind of cursing.

00;15;03;18 - 00;15;15;21

Steph

So it feels like it fits.(laughs) And they just don't hold back. And that's what I really liked about this podcast in this episode in general is it's just so raw and so honest.

00;15;15;21 - 00;15;21;18

Arielle

Yeah, I lived about three hours northwest of Shanghai for just three months when I was in college and

00;15;21;18 - 00;15;22;17

Steph

Where?!

00;15;23;01 - 00;15;24;10

Arielle

It's called Zhenjiang.

00;15;24;10 - 00;15;25;02

Steph

Yeah!

00;15;25;02 - 00;15;40;11

Arielle

Yeah, it's on the Suzhou line, if you know the trains. (laughs)And I wasn't the only white person in the city, but I was one of them and I people took pictures of me without without asking, Oh yeah, all the things, all the things you can imagine.

00;15;40;16 - 00;15;53;26

Arielle

And every time I saw another white person, I would be like, Oh, you know, what's your story? How did you get here, because it's not a big city, I mean, technically, it's a big city, it's like a few million people, but it's not a well known city to people who are not in China, and it was quite

00;15;53;26 - 00;16;05;20

Arielle

an experience. So all of this resonates with me. Yep, yep. The next episode and the last episode of this week's theme comes from your podcast, the Geo- Pats podcast, and I'll let you tell me about the episode that you chose.

00;16;05;28 - 00;16;18;26

Steph

I love this one so much! Sorry.(laughs) So this is Phoebe, she well-well we were in Shanghai when we recorded this, this is in the before time. Oh my gosh. Before a time when I was recording with two mics in my living room! And

00;16;18;26 - 00;16;20;04

Arielle

Gosh, what a time! (laughs)

00;16;20;04 - 00;16;20;14

Steph

Right?

00;16;20;15 - 00;16;36;16

Steph

I remember that I had a whole like interface and everything anyway. So Phoebe is from Shanghai, and she grew up learning so many different languages just because that's what was around her. That's what was interesting to her, and she's traveled and has lived in many different places.

00;16;36;16 - 00;16;50;07

Steph

She's currently doing a Ph.D. program that I couldn't even tell you the name of in Ireland because it's so sound intensive. I want to say sound engineer, but that's like, that's not enough of a descriptor for what she's doing.

00;16;50;19 - 00;17;09;01

Steph

And so we went into all of her language experience, language learning experiences. But then there's moments that we go into the sound of podcasting, and this is probably the first time that I really started to realize I was kind of a sound audiophile person because I was not stopping it and going back to language.

00;17;09;01 - 00;17;21;13

Steph

Like, I was like, Oh, wait, let's, let's keep going with this. And so we spent a ridiculous amount of time talking about all of her language experience, cultural experiences and her living in Ireland and just all kinds of things.

00;17;21;13 - 00;17;25;06

Steph

And it just it was it was just a lot of fun to record

00;17;25;06 - 00;17;34;09

Arielle

All these podcasts. All of these episodes are from all over the world. They're representative of many different languages, many different stories. How did you come across these podcasts?

00;17;34;15 - 00;17;50;08

Steph

You know, I used to consciously like search in my podcast app for ex-pat podcasts, and then after a while, there's a few communities that I'm in that I would just start stumbling across them. And then, you know, when you hear one pot, when somebody's being interviewed on one podcast and they have their own, so it just kind of

00;17;50;18 - 00;18;00;03

Steph

now it just organically happens that I find them all the time. So I'm never consciously looking anymore. And there's a lot more out there. This is it was hard to narrow it down

00;18;00;03 - 00;18;02;00

Arielle

Any honorable mentions you want to share?

00;18;02;00 - 00;18;03;08

Steph

Because I'm in Italy right now.

00;18;03;08 - 00;18;05;06

Steph

The Bittersweet Life podcast.

00;18;05;06 - 00;18;06;06

Arielle

Love it.

00;18;06;06 - 00;18;13;12

Arielle

And when folks listen through to your podcast recommendations, what do you hope they get out of the listening experience?

00;18;13;12 - 00;18;23;11

Steph

I don't want to say armchair travel because it's so much deeper than that, but it's it's looking at the world through an Ex-Pat lens...that's just repeating the title.

00;18;23;11 - 00;18;37;02

Steph

But there's the difference between growing up in a place and then coming there and deep diving into it. And I think there's stuff that we can see as outsiders, just like outsiders who come to the US also can see things that we can't because we're so knee deep in it.

00;18;37;03 - 00;18;55;01

Steph

I think there's a certain perspective that fresh eyes can have on a culture that are really interesting and so that I hope that what they can get is that they're not just learning like little tidbits about a culture or a country or a place, but that kind of something deeper about that culture.

00;18;55;02 - 00;19;06;26

Arielle

Absolutely. Well, Steph, thank you so much for joining me today on Feedback with Earbuds. I'm excited to listen to all of your recommendations and to dive deeper into these cultures and for the listeners to do so as well.

00;19;07;01 - 00;19;20;21

Steph

Yay! And Arielle, seriously, thank you for everything that you do, including this podcast, but everything else, especially on Twitter, in all of your recs and information. And just, yeah, thank you. (Interview Ends)

00;19;20;21 - 00;19;26;02

Arielle

Thank you. Thank you, Steph, for joining me for a chat about expat podcasts on the show.

00;19;26;10 - 00;19;43;20

Arielle

It was a blast connecting with you in the virtual earbuds studio powered by SquadCast.fm. You can find links to Steph's podcast picks at our website, earbudspodcastcollective.org. If you're wondering, how do I curate an Earbuds list and include one of my own episodes as part of that list?

00;19;44;01 - 00;19;54;10

Arielle

How did Steph do that? The truth is, anybody can do it. Anybody can curate a list for Earbuds Podcast Collective. All you have to do is let me know that you'd like to do so or find the form on our website.

00;19;54;19 - 00;20;10;02

Arielle

We'll have a link to it in the show notes. As we always do, that is the way this newsletter works. That is the way this podcast works. It is all generated by you, the listeners, you the subscribers. Every single list that we've put out over the past almost five years has been curated by somebody new.

00;20;10;15 - 00;20;26;02

Arielle

Yes, there have been some repeats over the years. People who really love to curate lists for us are absolutely welcome to come back. But we have had so many different people from so many different places, from so many different backgrounds, curating lists for us, and that is what makes earbuds so unique and special.

00;20;26;08 - 00;20;36;17

Arielle

So thank you to the curators who have already curated and thank you in advance if you're thinking of curating. Next up, let's hear from Adell Coleman at DCP Entertainment.

00;20;36;17 - 00;20;44;08

Adell

Hi, my name is Adell Coleman, co-host and executive producer of Say Their Name. Say Their Name is a podcast series that highlights the families.

00;20;44;19 - 00;20;58;21

Adell

And loved ones that have been negatively impacted by gun violence in the United States. We think it's important to share the stories of who the people were before and after the hashtags and the impact that the families face and continue to face in their fight for justice.

00;20;59;04 - 00;21;13;04

Adell

Check out our trailer as we launch season two of Say Their Name on January third. (trailer begins)Say Their Name. Last season, we brought you a riveting story.

00;21;13;04 - 00;21;17;08

Unknown Speaker

They were saying that Jamar reached for a gun. I knew for sure that was not true.

00;21;17;13 - 00;21;25;24

Unknown Speaker 2

The police is kind of like a loose cannon. Shoot first, ask questions later. He didn't do anything at all. They killed someone who didn't need to die.

00;21;25;24 - 00;21;32;08

Unknown Speaker 3

They chose to murder my son. They chose to. When they had to, they chose to do it.

00;21;33;07 - 00;21;40;22

Adell

We were able to amplify these stories to great critical acclaim, taking home various notable awards.

00;21;40;22 - 00;21;46;27

Awards Announcer

Award, the People's Voice Award and the New York Festival Award goes to.

00;21;46;27 - 00;21;52;25

Chris

I really want to thank these families who let us into their homes to help tell their stories and honor their loved ones.

00;21;53;05 - 00;21;58;24

Adell

But it isn't about the recognition, it's about the fact that still

00;21;58;24 - 00;22;08;28

Unknown Speaker 4

(Yelling)The system continues to fail black people. I'm mad as hell right now. Yes, I am! My first borne one son died!

Female News Anchor

For a judge, finds a police officer not guilty.

00;22;11;09 - 00;22;14;27

Male News Anchor

That officer fired at a man who was sleeping inside a car.

00;22;14;29 - 00;22;24;14

Female News Anchor

A trigger was pulled and a man died. On Thursday, a jury acquitted an Arizona police officer of murder. But the victim's family says it was an execution.

00;22;24;14 - 00;22;27;28

Male News Anchor

Black people are three times more likely to be killed by police than whites.

00;22;28;05 - 00;22;33;24

Male News Anchor

Police have killed at least 1000 Americans this year alone.

00;22;33;24 - 00;22;35;17

Don't Shoot! Hands Up! Don't Shoot! Hands up!
