Here are some of our best clips throughout our journey here with YOUR help and love. Let us know what's your favourite Third Culture Podcast clip and keep an eye out for more self-isolation features. Most importantly though, please stay safe, social distance and wash those beautiful hands! #ThirdCulture #Podcast #TCKZ #Highlightreel #Journey #COVID19

What a time to be alive? We changed it up slightly for this one because of the Corona Virus we couldn't leave home. Because we've had to deal with the Corona Virus and all its ramifications.  From being encouraged to stay indoors to having almost anything to do with the outdoors shutdown.  As things change minute by minute we wanted to give our individual views on how we have dealt with things and how we feel about them.

To kick it off we want to once again wish a happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the women on our lives, our listeners, our guests and all around the world! Thank you for being who you are.  This was a rather relaxed episode for us where we looked back at our journey so far and listened to some of our favourite clips.  Join us in laughing at where we started from and tell us what you'd like to see more of in the future!  Started from the bottom now we here!

Arguably our most intense cultural discussion to date! Culture Check with Amani AlJundi opened up so many important topics that we had to give it its own episode! There's a lot of controversial opinions, discussions & some blunt facts in this episode! Can you feel like you belong to a place you've never seen? Is Sudan an Arab country? Is racism purely driven by culture & norms instilled by man? Make sure you don't miss this episode to find out our opinions on those questions & so much more! #ThirdCulture #Podcast #CultureCheck #Colourism #Racism

We had wonderful Amani join us for our new episode to talk about colourism and the implications that come along within different parts of the world and different societies. As Third Culture Kids who pride ourselves on educating ourselves, we learned quite a bit from Amani this episode. But that's what it should be about. Unlearning bigotry and learning to be better! #ThirdCulture #Podcast #Colourism #Racism

Transitioning from high school to university is possibly one of the toughest things to go through - especially as a Third Culture Kid living in a new country.  Completely new environment, new rules, so many options & as a consequence, so much more cultural influence. Be it the courses you pick (or are forced to pick), the friends you make or the activities you end up being part of: transitioning from high school to university isn't easy. It's one of our most requested topics, so for our 20th episode we decided to share our own experiences & learnings from our own transitions! Let us know how your transition was, or if you're about to jump into university - let's talk about your questions or concerns!

It feels like a whole year has passed just in the month of January alone. From virus outbreaks, volcanoes erupting and WW3 to icons such as Kobe Bryant passing away, January was definitely something else...  In this episode the Third Culture Kids take a look at the rollercoaster that we all went through emotionally and physically in January, and the consequential racism and hatred spreading because of the #coronavirus.  But we shouldn't forget how much such catastrophes bring us closer together as individuals and helps us move forward.  Make sure to check this episode out and hear our take and views on everything January. We hope you enjoy another episode of the Third Culture Podcast!

As people who live in a country that's neither first nor third world, we've had times where we face a challenge only to realize that perhaps our problems are just first world problems compared to people who have it much worse.  In reality though, someone else having it worse than you doesn't and shouldn't invalidate your problems and challenges. Which is why we have a brand new episode specifically on this topic.  Listen to the boys (excluding Shayan, he's saving the princess) talk about having different perspectives and how it can change your attitude towards your problems. #ThirdCulture #Podcast #TCKZ #Firstvsthirdworld #Problems

We got our biggest supporter and favorite guest back for another episode. @car_osnaya is back to have a chat about diaspora and moving away from your "home" country intentionally or forcefully. As TCKs who moved into different countries with their families and without making the decision, we had quite a lot to say about this topic and quite Frankly enjoyed this episode and having @car_osnaya back with us!

In this Episode of The Third Culture Podcast we decided to do somethings a little differently, by getting YOU guys involved! We took a question from one of our listeners, Islam, and decided to run with it. We're calling this, the TCK Family Special! Islam wanted to know what we thought about accents and whether they really matter in how people think of you. We also looked at the way people are perceived because of their accents, and the cultural impacts of having a thick accent outside your home country. So tune in to find out what our thoughts are and make sure you do not miss the end where we get the thoughts of our listener himself! Reach out to us and let us know what you want to talk about! Thank you Islam for reaching out! We can't wait to do more of these specials!
