Raised in Catalonia to international parents, new generation migrants are a growing demographic in Catalonia, however they often navigate dual identities, balancing their family's cultural heritage with local traditions. This week on Filling the Sink we dedicate an episode to exploring the challenges faced by this significant collective. Zenia Hellgren, Doctor of Sociology a Senior Researcher at Pompeu Fabra University, discusses what identity is and how young people with a migrant background may find it hard to achieve a true sense of belonging in any one place. Reporter Gigi Giulia talks to secondary school teacher Mariona Jorba Solsona about the importance of education in breaking down language barriers and creating an inclusive environment which nurtures hybrid identities. Plus, we meet two new generation Catalans to hear their stories, and host Beth Cohen analyzes Catalonia's migration history and how it has shaped the current social reality. This week, our Catalan phrase is “És tard i vol ploure” - “It's late and it wants to rain”. It's an expression that is used when time is running out or something is too late to fix. It can also be used as a way of saying goodbye or telling someone to hurry up.

"I didn't know I was Vietnamese or Asian until I looked in the mirror — because I only saw my friends, and I saw my reflection in them." — Phuong AnhI had a chance to talk to Phương Anh, someone I met at an Overseas Vietnamese networking event here in Saigon. What struck me about Anh right away was the richness of her perspective — having grown up in Berlin after moving there from Saigon at the age of 8, then spending time in the US, and now returning to Vietnam.This episode is all about identity, belonging, and the culture shocks that come with living between worlds. Anh shares her incredibly candid experiences growing up in Germany, how she reconnected with her Vietnamese heritage, and what it's like navigating Vietnamese society now with a “German attitude.”I found this conversation eye-opening, heartfelt, and at times hilarious — especially when we got into German bread vs Vietnamese rice, or Vietnamese CCTV.5 Key Talking PointsGrowing up Vietnamese in BerlinAnh moved to Germany at age 8 and didn't realize she was “different” until much later. The power of cultural contrastWe compared German directness, Vietnamese community warmth, and American friendliness.Returning to Vietnam and facing reverse culture shockNow back in Saigon, Anh shares how her Western mindset sometimes clashes with local norms — especially when working with contractors or navigating gender roles.Navigating multiple languages and identitiesHow Anh speaks German, English, and Vietnamese — and thinks in all three.Marriage to an American and global perspectiveChapters & Timestamps09:00 – Life in East Germany post-Berlin Wall16:00 – Growing up without a Vietnamese community22:30 – Returning to Vietnam & being ‘too German'26:00 – Language barriers between German & Vietnamese33:00 – Why she moved back to Vietnam43:00 – Being married to an American"Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh The full list of winners is here.

Cultures around alcohol consumption run a range as broad as beverages on a drink menu. For some, drinking culture means afternoons at a vineyard, and for others it's a night on the town full of raucous fun. In some cases, drinking habits can lead to an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. Thankfully, there are bar proprietors who focus on the “art of alcohol” — promoting responsible drinking that stems from the sharing of different histories and cultures linked to wines and spirits. Javia Gilliam-Sanford and Kaje Sanford are the married couple behind Passport Bar, Pour Decisions STL and a June 14 event called the “Art of Alcohol.” They share how they got involved in wine and spirits and what interests them most about the culture and history of alcohol in St. Louis and abroad.

Along with many articles – some on Hasidei Ashkenaz, Fishman is the author of Shaking the Pillars of Exile: "Voice of a Fool"'s Early Modern Jewish Critique of Rabbinic Culture, (Stanford University Press, 1997), and Becoming the People of the Talmud: Oral Torah as Written Tradition Medieval Jewish Cultures (2011), Winner of 2011 Nahum M.

Professor Fishman's current research project concerns the place of materiality in medieval Jewish thought and experience.

A groundbreaking musical movement is taking shape in South Texas, and Mirelle Acuña stands at its center. In this enlightening conversation, the co-founder of the RGV International Mariachi Conference shares her vision for transforming mariachi education across the region and beyond."We've seen exponential growth in mariachi education here in South Texas," Mirelle explains, highlighting how students typically had to travel far for advanced training opportunities. Her solution? Create Texas's first International Mariachi Conference, bringing world-class instruction directly to RGV students through workshops led by Mariachi Sol de Mexico and other master teachers.What makes this conference revolutionary is its comprehensive approach. Unlike other events, it offers both instrumental and vocal training, acknowledging that true mariachi musicians must excel at both. It provides crucial professional development for educators, prepares students for Texas All-State competitions, and—perhaps most innovatively—includes a conjunto competition, creating unprecedented opportunities for students in this traditional genre.Mirelle's personal journey mirrors the transformative power of music education. From a reluctant high school mariachi student who initially thought the genre "sucks," she evolved into a passionate educator with 17 years of teaching experience and a master's in educational leadership. Her story resonates with anyone who's faced discouragement, remembering a professor who told her to quit music school—advice she thankfully ignored.The inaugural RGV International Mariachi Conference runs June 25-28, culminating in a spectacular concert at McAllen Performing Arts Center. Registration remains open for students and non-students alike, with affordable rates and scholarships available. Behind it all is Mirelle's unwavering belief in creating opportunities: "We're not out to make money; we're out to give kids opportunities."Ready to witness this musical revolution firsthand? Visit rgvmariachiconference.com to register for workshops or purchase concert tickets and be part of what promises to become a cornerstone of mariachi education in Texas.

The heart has been the subject of mythology for humanity for centuries. Egyptians believed that in the afterlife, your heart was weighed against a feather and if all your life's sins didn't outweigh the feather, you could join Osiris in the afterlife. If it was heavier, your heart was consumed by Amuut, a demon, and your soul disappeared forever. Ancient Greeks believed that the heart was the anchor of the soul and instinctively thought it was the source of heat for the body. Cultures all over the world recognized the importance of the heart, before even realizing how crucial it was to survival. Today's case is about matters of the heart, both literally and figuratively. A heart surgeon's wife is murdered in her locked house, shot through her heart in the middle of their nasty divorce and when the police find mounds of evidence, it all seems to lead them nowhere.Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

Send us a textThe Silk Road isn't just a unit from middle school history, it's more than a trade route, also. This geographical location is quite possibly the first intersection of Eastern and Western cultures and was instigated by what else? The desire to make money and acquire exotic goods. The Silk Road, besides being a geographical bridge, changed mysticism, lore, legends, and history forever. I remember learning the basic facts in school and spitting them back out for exams, never thinking deeply on the importance of this span of history. In fact, it was only recently that I considered this swath of land and its impact, even to the present. But first?

Send us a textEver wonder how top high school baseball programs consistently develop winning cultures? Coach Blake Iles of Olathe East High School in Kansas pulls back the curtain on his coaching philosophy that's produced multiple 20+ win seasons and championships.What makes Iles' approach unique is his genuine commitment to empowering those around him. His assistant coaches don't just stand around during games – they have "full control" over their areas of expertise. This delegation creates a coaching environment where everyone feels valued and players receive specialized instruction from coaches dedicated to their development. As Iles explains, dividing responsibilities allows him to focus on game management while ensuring players get the attention they deserve.The conversation dives deep into player buy-in, with Iles sharing the remarkable story of transforming his second-best shortstop into a two-time All-State center fielder despite the player never having played outfield before. "That had nothing to do with me," Iles humbly reflects, "it had everything to do with him buying into saying, 'Hey, coach, you see this in me, I want to work hard at it.'" These moments of transformation happen when coaches communicate honestly and players embrace new challenges.Transparency emerges as a cornerstone of Iles' coaching philosophy. Following advice from his mentor, he practices "brutal honesty" with players and parents alike. When dealing with playing time questions, he cuts through confusion with direct conversations about where players stand. While this approach might seem harsh initially, it creates clarity and trust. Players and parents might not always like what they hear, but they never have to wonder where they stand.Perhaps most refreshing is Iles' emphasis on making baseball fun again. From blaring music during practices to giving players autonomy in game situations, he creates an environment where hard work and enjoyment coexist. "There's a reason baseball is called a game," he reminds us. "It's a game, it's meant to be fun."Whether you're coaching high school baseball or leading a youth team, this episode offers practical wisdom for developing a program where players and coaches thrive. Subscribe now and learn how transparent communication, empowered assistants, and fun-focused practices might transform your coaching approach this season.Join the Baseball Coaches Unplugged podcast where an experienced baseball coach delves into the world of high school and travel baseball, offering insights on high school baseball coaching, leadership skills, hitting skills, pitching strategy, defensive skills, and overall baseball strategy, while also covering high school and college baseball, recruiting tips, youth and travel baseball, and fostering a winning mentality and attitude in baseball players through strong baseball leadership and mentality.Support the show Follow: Twitter | Instagram @Athlete1Podcast https://www.athlete1.net Sponsor: The Netting Professionals https://www.nettingpros.com

It's Monday, Let's raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It's time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let's begin Exploring the Wine Glass!  Today, we're heading to one of the most fascinating and picturesque corners of the wine world: Alto Adige. Nestled in the northernmost province of Italy and flanked by the dramatic Dolomites, this region is a true meeting place of contrasts—Italian charm with Austrian roots, loamy soils supporting both classic and lesser-known varieties, and a DOC that's currently 65% white wine, despite a much different past. I recently had the pleasure of attending a webinar with Susannah Gold and Mathias Messner of Cantina Bolzen, and let me tell you, Alto Adige is more than just breathtaking views. We'll explore what makes this region so unique, from its multi-lingual culture to its high-altitude vineyards, and of course, we'll chat about some standout wines—think Kerner, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and a beautifully crisp Pinot Blanc. So pour yourself a glass, and let's head to the crossroads of cultures, climates, and some seriously impressive winemaking.  Slainte!    Find out more about Cantina Bolzen  here Music: WINE by Kēvens Official Video Follow me on Instagram!   Follow me on Twitter!

Leo was the tip of the spear on the battlefield—dodging bullets while patching up his brothers in arms as a combat medic. After being injured, he didn't slow down—he shifted gears. Now he's leading the charge for his family and pushing out raw, real positivity on social media. In this episode, we talk about pain, purpose, and what it means to still be a warrior when the uniform comes off. This one's not about survival—it's about showing up every damn day and choosing to fight forward. Food has always been more than just fuel—it's a symbol of survival, success, and connection. You don't sit down to eat when you're running from danger. You don't feast in the middle of a war. You break bread when you've made it through the fire, when you've hunted, gathered, built, or earned your way to that table. Throughout history, when people came together over a meal, it meant they'd survived another day, and that was worth celebrating. Food is the universal truce. Cultures, families, warriors, and even enemies have gathered around it to talk, share, and reconnect. And let's be real—if I came over to your house, where are we hanging out? The kitchen. Always the kitchen. Everyone's crammed in there, shoulder to shoulder, telling stories, stealing bites, and laughing loud while the rest of the house sits empty. It's not about the space—it's about the warmth, the smells, the energy. Some of the strongest memories we carry are tied to meals: Sunday dinners, barbecues, holidays, birthdays, post-fight feasts, or that one dish grandma made better than anyone else. And in today's chaos, we forget how powerful that is. We scroll through fake perfection, skip meals, eat alone, and call it normal. But when you slow down and sit with your people over food, something shifts. There's laughter, stories, maybe even healing. The bullshit falls away and what's real remains—connection, community, and shared victories. Food doesn't just nourish the body. It anchors us. It reminds us we're not alone.

Dr. Erik Ellis is Assistant Professor of Classical Education at the University of Dallas. After graduating from the University Scholars Program at Baylor University with concentrations in Greek and Latin, Dr. Ellis received an MA in History from the same institution and served as a middle school and high school Latin teacher for five years in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Along with Latin, Dr. Ellis was privileged to teach history, logic, and French, the last of which had a decisive effect on his teaching of Latin. Two years into his teaching career, Dr. Ellis began researching and investigating communicative language pedagogy and its application to classical languages. After attending and offering workshops with the Oklahoma Foreign Language Teachers Association, SALVI, and Fr. Reginald Foster, Dr. Ellis left secondary teaching to continue his education. He received an MA in Classics, a Master of Medieval Studies, and a Doctorate in Medieval Studies at the Medieval Institute of the University of Notre Dame and studied at the Polis Institute and the Vatican Library in Rome. One of his research specializations was the history of education with a focus on the history of classical language teaching. Upon graduation, he worked for a year at Notre Dame's Center for the Study of Languages and Cultures, where he received a certificate in Second Language Acquisition Theory and Methodology. Following this, he taught Latin, Greek, and general humanities courses at Universidad de los Andes in Santiago, Chile, and Hillsdale College before moving to his current role in the program in Classical Learning at the University of Dallas.Show NotesI had a delightful discussion with Dr. Ellis last year and invited him on to the show to discuss some really important concepts within the classical education movement. In order to rightly understand the tradition of a liberal arts education, we need to rightly define and understand the meaning of particular words. We discuss some wonderful words that are important to our understanding of the tradition which impacts how we teach. Some topics included:Expanding on how the mind works while teaching the liberal arts.Fascinating word studies on Greek and Latin as spoken languages.The inclusion of a wealth of material from Constantine VII, Historically, Philosophically, and Theologically. Explaining anamnesis ( recollection): How this recollection through dialogue, song, and habituation, brings or makes things present. Writing; Is the focus on analysis and understanding, or is the aim to be able to speak wisely with an idea or account of a story that is understood and will bring about a greater reality? The meaning of the word "Logos."UPCOMING SUMMER ANCIENT LANGUAGE WORKSHOPS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS Join Dr. Ellis at the University of Dallas for their summer intensive courses in Latin and Greek that they are hosting in partnership with the Polis Institute in Jerusalem.More info here:https://www.polisjerusalem.org/programs/international/Resources(Dr. Ellis's dissertation)  The Historical Semantics of the Contemporary Classical Education Movement: Principia: A Journal of Classical Education, Volume 2, Issue 1, 2023- https://www.pdcnet.org/principia/content/principia_2023_0002_0001_0025_0041What is Classical Education?
