Podcasts about expats

As the penultimate episode in my 2026 Black History Month series, I revisit the stories of African American performers who, for a variety of reasons, including seeking to improve their increase their opportunities as artists of color, made their way to Europe in the 1950s and 1960s. Today the focus is on the low-voiced males, baritones, bass-baritones, and basses, in a variety of musical genres, who found success overseas. Surely the most famous of these is the great operatic baritone Lawrence Winters, who leads off the episode, but there were many others as well, some in opera, some in pop music, and some in that magical and confusing world in between, who also experienced life in its fullness, not just in Germany, but in Austria, Italy, and Norway as well. A few of these singers, among them Kenneth Spencer and Thomas Carey, are still somewhat remembered today. Far too many others are virtually forgotten. Among those we also discuss William Ray, Owen Williams, Henry Wright, William Pearson, George Goodman, and Allan Evans. The musical selections are primarily focused on pop music and crossover, with some fascinating exceptions. Even within this somewhat circumscribed musical palette, however, there is much variety to be experienced, and celebrated. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists.

Robert Norris has lived in Japan since 1983, mostly in Dazaifu, near Fukuoka, Kyushu. After retiring from university teaching in 2016, he returned to his long-standing passion for writing. The result was a heartfelt memoir about his life – and his mother's – titled: The Good Lord Willing and the Creek Don't Rise: Pentimento Memories of Mom and Me (Tin Gate, 2023). In this episode with John Ross, we hear about Robert's decades in Japan, from his early days learning Japanese through a local softball team, to his later academic career, including his time as a university dean. Naturally, the conversation also turns to books, and some of his favorite works of Japanese fiction. Books & Authors mentioned: The Woman in the Dunes by Abe Kōbō (published in Japanese in 1962; English edition, and film adaptation 1964).No Longer Human by Dazai Osamu (Original Japanese title Ningen Shikkaku, published 1948, English. Edition 1958).The Breaking Jewel by Oda Makoto (English edition, 2003, translated by Donald Keene) Sakaguchi Ango's short story “The Idiot” ("Hakui," published 1946). In the discussion, Robert Norris referred to the "Buraiha" (無頼派 “decadent school” literary movement), comparing these post-WWII writers to the Beat Generation in the US. The school is associated with Dazai Osamu, Sakaguchi Ango, and contemporaries. Learn more about Robert Norris and his writing at his website.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Susan, a deeply ethical, no-bypassing kind of soul whose spirituality is lived, embodied, and rooted in reality. Susan is a former human rights lawyer with years of work connected to refugees and forced displaced people, and she brings that same clarity into the most intimate terrain of all: the body, belonging, and the question of home..After a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment journey that changed her body and mind in profound ways, Susan found herself asking a question many of us quietly carry, especially after illness, loss, or a major life transition: what happens when the place you've lived the longest no longer feels like home? From that question, she named something powerful: rehoming yourself..Together we explore what rehoming means on multiple levels, returning to the body as our first home after breast cancer, rebuilding trust through chemo brain fog and hormonal shifts, and navigating identity when you've lived across countries, languages, and systems that don't always welcome you. .We also speak about Switzerland and Geneva as a “transit city,” the mythology of the word expat, passport privilege, and why grounded spirituality must include truth, justice, and a refusal to spiritually bypass reality..This is a conversation about migration and inner belonging, about mending what feels broken, and about learning to fall back in love with your life one deliberate gold thread at a time..00:00 Meet Susan: Ex Human Rights Lawyer & Cancer Survivor02:04 Life in Geneva: A City of Transit, Friends, and Staying After the UN03:44 Migration: Who Gets to Be an ‘Expat' vs an Immigrant?04:48 Forced Displacement, Passports, and the ‘Illegal Alien' Rhetoric08:24 Cancer Diagnosis: A New Kind of Journey Begins09:43 Mindset vs ‘Mind-Fluid': Staying Flexible Through Treatment11:12 The Body as First Home: Curiosity, Chemo, and Relearning Presence15:06 After Treatment: Cellular Change, Listening Deeper, and Emotional Surrender20:36 Home as Sanctuary (and Needing Space): Getting Out, Support, and Returning23:04 Rehoming Yourself: Nationality, Lost French, and Rebuilding Belonging in Geneva27:28 Leaving Corporate & Restarting Your Career After a Big Change27:43 Rehoming as a Nomad: Belonging Beyond Passports and Borders29:59 Building Local Community: Democracy, Power, and Showing Up Nearby30:49 Falling Back in Love With a City (Without Romanticizing ‘Home')31:49 Geneva's Literary Magic: Writers, Revolutionaries, and a New Lens on Place33:06 Learning the Language Through Joy: Food, Music, Movies—and Curiosity33:29 Turning Rehoming Into a Project: A Switzerland-Themed Podcast Season34:20 Mending What's Broken: Kintsugi, Decluttering, and What to Keep36:40 Mexico After Chemo: The Monarch Butterfly Pilgrimage40:49 Metamorphosis as Medicine: Migration, Cocoon Time, and Becoming New42:16 Animal Guides & Nature as Home (and the Climate Grief Beneath It)45:41 Oaxaca Healing Rituals: Temazcal, Womb Symbolism, and Rebirth48:13 Radical Love Isn't Escapism: Justice, Borders, and Staying Rooted50:59 Closing Reflections: Journaling, Writing the Monarch Essay, and What's Next.Susan's website and podcast are found here: https://darknlight.com.IG: @darknlightzine.The book Susan mentions: Encountering Dragonfly by Brooke Williams.To find out more about how space clearing can help you make your home feel like a safe sanctuary during cancer recovery or to book a free space clearing assessment: .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://spaceclearingacademy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Connect with Lais:FB: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/Laisstephan1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lais_thehousewhisperer/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.....#spaceclearing #fengshui #cancersurvivor #sanctuary

Residency by Investment sounds like a simple way to set aside a backup when you're managing your money, but the complexity and rapidly changing landscape of tax and government priorities means you should probably talk to an expert.In this episode of Taxbytes for Expats, I'm joined by Sandeep Nair, COO of Vancis Capital, to talk about residency and citizenship by investment. He sets out, in very practical terms, what these programmes actually involve because this is one of those areas where you don't want to get the details wrong, and having an adviser like Sandeep is the best way to get accurate and up to date information.We talk through why people explore residency or citizenship options in the first place, global mobility, retirement planning, tax considerations, and what's increasingly referred to as a “Plan B”. Sandeep explains how clients define their goals, what the advisory process looks like, and the types of jurisdictions that tend to come up most often in these discussions.From my side, I bring it back to the tax piece: why these decisions can't be made in isolation, how Irish tax rules continue to apply in ways people don't always expect, and why early, joined-up planning is critical.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:Sandeep's Background and Entry into Global Mobility Planning: We start with how Sandeep moved into the world of residency and citizenship by investment, and why this space has grown so quickly in recent years.What Residency and Citizenship by Investment Actually Means: We break down what these programmes involve in practice, who they're designed for, and why they're very different from simply “moving abroad for a while”.Why People Seek Residency or Citizenship Options: We explore the key drivers behind these decisions, including global mobility, retirement planning, tax considerations and the growing concept of a “Plan B”.Popular Jurisdictions and the Types of Programmes Available: Sandeep outlines the regions and countries that come up most often, from Caribbean passports to European residency programmes, and what attracts people to each.The Need for Joined-Up Tax and Professional Advice: We discuss why immigration decisions have to be considered alongside tax, banking and structuring advice, and why oversimplifying residency can lead to costly mistakes.Get in touch with Sandeep Nair:Website: https://www.VancisCapital.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanciscapital/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandeep-nair-0461974b/*****Use the link below and quote "Expat Taxes" when registering with Currencies Direct to receive a €50 One4All or Amazon voucher when you transfer €5000 or more in your first six months with Currencies Direct.*Click here for a special offer from our sponsor, Currencies Direct******If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

Changes are coming to UK inheritance tax legislation. From April 2027, many expats with UK Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs) could face a 40% UK inheritance tax hit on pension values above the £325,000 nil-rate band, but the way the new rules are drafted may allow non-long-term UK residents to structure their SIPPs so that non-UK underlying assets sit outside the UK inheritance tax net.    Richard Taylor, dual UK/US citizen and Chartered Financial Planner, is joined by Tobias Gleed-Owen, Senior Associate at Birketts, to discuss the upcoming changes to SIPPs and inheritance tax. This episode of Expat Wealth explores how UK expats, or future recipients of a UK inheritance or pension, can prepare for the April 2027 changes. Richard and Tobias unpack how the draft UK rules will treat pensions for inheritance tax, why the position most people have assumed is likely wrong, and how looking through to the underlying investments in an SIPP may keep large portions of a UK pension outside the UK inheritance tax net.    In this episode, Richard and Tobias take a detailed look at:    The big picture: An overview of the 2027 UK inheritance tax change on pensions.    Practical planning opportunities: How to structure or restructure your SIPP investments.    What to do if you have an old defined benefit pension.    Pension Commencement Lump Sums: Whether or not the UK 25% “tax-free lump sum” is tax-free in the US.     --    Expat Wealth is supported by Plan First Wealth.

Diese sogenannten Expats kommen mit Hochdeutsch oder Englisch gut durch. Aber einige lernen auch Schweizerdeutsch. Der Sprachlehrer Marco Fenaroli hat jahrelange Erfahrung als Leiter für Schweizerdeutschkurse. Von ihm wollte Mundartredaktor Markus Gasser unter anderem wissen, mit welcher Muttersprache man Vorteile hat beim Schweizerdeutschlernen – und mit welchen weniger. Das führt zur Frage, wie man die Distanz zwischen Schweizerdeutsch und anderen Sprachen überhaupt messen kann. Kollegin Nadia Zollinger hat sich mit Melissa Tan aus Singapur ausgetauscht. Sie lebt seit anderthalb Jahren in Zürich und spricht schon jetzt ein beachtliches «Züritüütsch». Aber was motiviert sie überhaupt, Mundart zu lernen? Die Antworten der beiden helfen, allfällige Vorurteile gegenüber Expats, etwa, dass sie sich nicht integrieren wollen, zu hinterfragen. Wiederholung der Sendung vom 31.3.2022 Familienname Duttwiler und Duttweiler Der Familienname Duttwiler mit den Schreibvarianten Duttwiler und Duttweiler ist ein Herkunftsname, der zum thurgauischen Dorfnamen Tuttwil (Gemeinde Wängi) gebildet ist.

Spending her life in India, Maria was always exposed to a multi-cultural life. So when work offered opportunities abroad, her family decided on Spain as their new adventure. While the journey has been exciting, it also hasn't been smooth sailing. We discuss the importance of immersion in the local culture, keeping traditions alive, and the struggle of the language barrier, plus so much more of her life in India.

Ep #103: Mental Health for Expats — Building Community Abroad with Moved With PeaceSummary of the EpisodeWhat really happens after you move abroad and the honeymoon phase wears off?In this episode of noseyAF, host Stephanie Graham sits down with writer and community-builder Stephanie Rubinato to talk honestly about mental health for expats, postpartum depression, and the emotional realities of building a life far from home. Living abroad is often portrayed as dreamy and effortless—but this conversation pulls back the curtain on what's usually left out.Stephanie shares her personal experience navigating postpartum depression after moving to Italy, the isolation many immigrants and expats feel, and why community care is just as important as cultural immersion. Together, they unpack slow living, creative burnout, friendship shifts, and what it really takes to build meaningful support systems abroad.This episode is a grounding, honest reminder that moving overseas doesn't magically solve everything—and that seeking help, sharing resources, and building community is part of the journey.What We Talk About(aka: the real stuff you don't see on Instagram

In our last episode, we shared that I'll be retiring from my corporate role at the end of March. And for us, that doesn't mean slowing down. It means changing how we travel. For years, we've moved fast. We've packed itineraries. We've seen incredible places in short windows of time. But this next chapter is going to be different. We don't just want to visit places anymore. We want to stay. To rent an apartment for a month. To shop at the same market twice in a week. To learn the norms of a neighborhood. To go deeper. So when we came across The Good Life Abroad, it caught our attention right away. Because what Andrew Motiwalla has built aligns almost exactly with where Melissa and I find ourselves right now. It's designed for people 55 and older who want to live abroad for one to three months — not as tourists, but as temporary locals — with built-in community and support. What you'll discover in our interview with Andrew: How The Good Life Abroad makes “living abroad” doable (even if it feels overwhelming): vetted apartments, a local community manager, built-in community, and a safety net (insurance, English-speaking doctors, help getting oriented). What it actually feels like to live in Europe for 1–3 months: the real adjustments (noise, late dinners, smaller kitchens, no ADA) and how the program prepares you so those things don't become deal-breakers. Why slow travel + community changes everything in this season of life: how retirees find their “tribe,” travel with intention (like taking a class before a trip), and use longer stays to go deeper than a cruise or a one-week vacation.

What happens when motherhood unfolds thousands of miles from home without your village, your culture, or your familiar rhythms of life?In this honest, globally rich conversation, I sit down with Rosamaria Mancini, an Italian-American mother, author, and expat who shares her journey from growing up in New York to building a life across Europe. In a life of moving to Rome for work, marrying her Italian husband, and later raising two children in Germany, Rosamaria found herself wrestling with loneliness, identity shifts, and the emotional weight of motherhood abroad.During one of her most isolating seasons, podcasts became an unexpected lifeline, offering connection, companionship, and a reminder she wasn't alone. That experience ultimately inspired her to write a book exploring how listening to podcasts helped preserve her mental health and sense of self while living far from home.This episode is an engaging listen for expat moms, military spouses, mothers navigating isolation, and anyone who has ever felt unseen during a vulnerable season of motherhood.In This Episode, We Discuss:What it's really like raising children as an expat motherThe loneliness and identity loss many moms experience living abroadCreating emotional connection when your support system is far awayTurning personal survival into a story that helps other mothers feel less aloneWho This Episode Is For:Expat and internationally living mothersMoms navigating loneliness, isolation, or major life transitionsWomen searching for connection while raising children far from familyPodcast lovers curious about the emotional power of audio storytellingRosamaria's story is a reminder that even in the quietest, loneliest moments of motherhood, connection is possible and sometimes it arrives through a pair of headphones when you need it most!

Tout le monde a entendu parler au moins une fois de l'affaire des bébés congelés. Ces crimes sordides ont fait la Une des journaux en 2006 en France, mais aussi en Corée, puisque c'est dans un appartement de Séoul que l'horrible découverte a été faite. Le mystère est resté entier pendant des mois, même après que des tests ADN ont démontré que ces bébés cachés dans un congélateur étaient nés du couple qui habitait l'appartement, les Courjault. Ce qui était en théorie impossible, puisque Véronique, la mère, ne pouvait plus avoir d'enfants depuis 3 ans...Crimes • Histoires Vraies est une production Minuit.

Moving abroad is often sold as a reset. A fresh start. A better life.But many people arrive with expectations that were never realistic to begin with — shaped by social media, travel content, expat forums, and half-told success stories.In this episode, I look at the gap between what people think life abroad will be like and what actually happens once the novelty wears off. Using real, everyday examples - including visas, banking, and cost of living in Thailand — the episode explores why frustration is often baked in from the start, and how mismatched expectations quietly shape expat experiences everywhere.Thailand is sometimes the lens, because that's the world I live in — but the patterns are universal.This isn't about discouraging people from moving abroad.It's about understanding the reality before it surprises you.

I first published this episode two and a half years ago in June 2023, in commemoration of the death of the great Tina Turner. As always when I take on such an iconic figure, I try to give a different perspective on the artist in question than one would normally encounter. For this reason, I chose to frame Tina within the context of the many other female pop artists of color who emigrated to Europe and the UK. I have devoted a lot of time, space, and research to the Black opera singers who came here, but there is an equally fascinating story to be told about the pop singers of many eras and genres, who also chose to make Europe their home. Though this episode focuses primarily on Tina and some of the less-explored material throughout her career, I seek to contextualize her by also discussing the many African American singers, from Joséphine Baker to Donna Summer to Nina Simone to Dee Dee Bridgewater, who either spent formative time in Europe or settled there permanently. Along with the aforementioned favorites, I also focus on lesser-known artists such as Beauty Milton, Vickie Henderson, and Betty Dorsey, including a brief introduction to each of four singers who will be featured in their own episodes during Black History Month: Adelaide Hall (coming on Monday!), Elisabeth Welch, Bertice Reading, and Salena Jones (who just recently celebrated her 82nd birthday). Count on Countermelody (and me!) to always bring you something a little different! Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Welcome to the one hundred sixty ninth episode of the #ExpatChat podcast, Taxation of US Retirement Accounts. In this episode, Atlas Wealth Group's Managing Director – APAC, James Ridley, is joined by special guest Martin Jack, Atlas Wealth's US specialist Financial Planner, while co-host Brett Evans is away. With US tax season underway, James and Martin unpack one of the most common and confusing topics facing Australian expats in the United States: how US retirement accounts are taxed and what happens to them when you eventually return home. They break down the key differences in how the IRS and the ATO treat US retirement accounts, and why those differences can create unexpected tax outcomes on repatriation. The conversation covers the most common US retirement structures, including 401(k)s, IRAs, Roth IRAs, and employer-sponsored matching strategies, as well as less familiar plans such as 403(b) and 457 accounts. Martin explains what is taxed versus tax-free, how transactions are viewed from an Australian perspective, and what returning expats should carefully consider before making decisions around their retirement savings. Packed with practical scenarios and expert insights, this episode is essential listening for Australian expats in the US who want clarity and confidence around US retirement accounts, cross-border tax rules, and planning for life after repatriation.

>What if you're navigating an expat life decision… But you're not doing that alone? (by the way, doors to The Co-Pilot are open!) In this episode of This Expat Life, I sit down with Wiebke Anton, a relationship coach who works specifically with expat couples and internationally mobile professionals. Together, we explore what really happens beneath the surface when couples are navigating moves, repatriation, career sacrifices, and the unspoken fear that one decision could change everything forever. We talk about why decision-making often feels heavier abroad, how power imbalances quietly show up in expat relationships, and why avoiding difficult conversations can slowly create distance - even when everything looks “fine” on the outside. We also dive into how perfectionism, fear of irreversibility, and the pressure to “make it work” can prevent couples from having honest, connecting conversations. If you're in a relationship and navigating big expat life decisions - whether you're moving together, meeting abroad, or feeling stuck between options - this episode will help you feel less alone and more empowered to talk about what truly matters. We'd love to hear what resonates for you! And want to join the workshop we are talking about in this episode? Join The Co-Pilot! Doors are now open until February 17th, when we kick off with live personalized support again. The Co-Pilot is where you leave the expat waiting room and transform your overthinking into a solid next chapter of your global life. And when you join now, you get access to the live workshop (and the replay) by Wiebke, so you can navigate your decisions alongside your partner.

You may think that seeking investments as an Expat in Ireland is as simple as finding the right advice. In practice, though, the conventional wisdom doesn't always mean the best results for you.In Part 2 of my conversation with Paddy Delaney of Informed Decisions, we get into some of the assumptions many people hold about investing as they move closer to retirement, particularly the idea that “de-risking” automatically means safety. Paddy explains why that conventional wisdom doesn't always stack up in practice, and why understanding volatility, time horizons, and having a proper plan matters far more than simply defaulting into a middle-of-the-road fund.We also spend time on something that comes up constantly in my work with expats: fees, transparency, and how to tell whether you're getting advice or being sold a product. We talk about commission, “free” financial plans, what questions you should be asking before you sign anything, and how easily costs can stay hidden in the background for years if you don't know where to look. This is particularly relevant if you've brought pensions or investments with you from another country and are trying to make sense of how everything fits together in Ireland.If you haven't yet, make sure you listen to Part 1 of my conversation with Paddy for all of his advice about financial planning, and to prepare you for this episode.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:Challenging the “De-Risking” Myth Near Retirement: We unpack why automatically moving into lower-risk, middle-of-the-road funds as retirement approaches can actually reduce long-term outcomes, and why volatility isn't necessarily the enemy if you've planned properly.The Importance of Planning Beyond the Investment Product: This is one of those areas where having a real plan matters — we talk about thinking through “what could go wrong,” having other assets to draw on, and avoiding forced decisions at the worst possible time.Advice vs Product Sales: How to Tell the Difference: We explore the key signals that distinguish genuine financial planning from a transactional product sale, including how advisors are paid and why “free” plans are rarely free.Fees, Transparency, and Asking the Right Questions: From hidden charges to headline Annual Management Charges that don't tell the full story, we explain where fees really sit, why expats can get a nasty surprise, and the direct questions you should feel comfortable asking upfront.What Value for Money Actually Looks Like in Financial Advice: We discuss the wide spectrum of service levels in the market, what ongoing advice should include, and why paying more only makes sense if you're genuinely getting engagement, insight, and support in return.Get in touch with Paddy DelaneyWebsite: InformedDecisions.ieLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paddy-delaney-qfa-rpa-apa-73778969/Podcast:

Quitter son pays pour une nouvelle vie à l'étranger, c'est déjà une grande décision à prendre. Mais devoir partir sans son partenaire, c'est un scénario auquel on préférerait ne pas être confrontée… et qui en pousse certaines à renoncer à une opportunité pourtant rêvée. La distance fait peur : peur de se manquer, de s'éloigner, de se perdre. Et pourtant, certaines décident de sauter le pas. Dans cet épisode, vous écouterez le témoignage de trois femmes qui ont choisi l'expatriation même si leur partenaire ne pouvait pas les accompagner, et comment elles ont décidé de suivre leur envie d'ailleurs… sans renoncer à l'amour.Elles nous racontent ce moment où l'opportunité s'est présentée, la réaction de leur partenaire, comment elles ont réussi à maintenir le lien depuis l'étranger - entre décalage horaire, ajustements, et nouvelles routines - et enfin, ce que cette distance a révélé de leur couple ainsi que la suite de leur histoire à deux.À travers leurs expériences variées et sincères, cet épisode interroge ce que l'expatriation change — parfois renforce, parfois fragilise — dans une relation. Un éclairage précieux pour celles et ceux qui envisagent de partir sans leur partenaire.

#1-  My personal history of being scammed in Latin America (by popular listener demand): Yes, we all get scammed in our lifetimes and have the scars to prove it, some more than others but hopefully we learn. There are bad people out there, though sometimes we're asking for it. We're just stupid , gullible, unlucky or ill-informed and thus become marks. Since no one is 100% immune from scams, before you start crying and whining about your own history of being clipped, you'll want to hear this story…   #2- Beware!!! With silver at over 100 bucks an ounce and gold over 5000, if you are lucky enough to have some, what are you supposed to do with it?  It's a dangerous time to buy, especially when there are tons of near perfect counterfeits out there on ebay and other online sites…   #3- Will Latin Americans ever accept self-driving cars and robots? Will the technology ever make it down to Latin America in a meaningful way?   #4- Our own Expat Captain Mango has developed a unique one-on-one Crypto consulting and training service (he's been deep into crypto since 2013).
