Podcasts about Pidgin

Send us a textSound has a remarkable ability to transform our reality, and for four years on The Word Cafe podcast, I've been drawing inspiration from my personal archives of worship songs and spiritual melodies. This celebration episode opens the door to my creative process, revealing how these timeless songs have shaped my faith journey and continue to fuel my podcasting adventure.I believe wholeheartedly that divine manifestation is preceded by sound. When my mother sang prayers over me during childhood illness, those melodies created sanctuaries of hope that still echo decades later. Morning devotions with family weren't just routines—they were portals to experiencing God's presence through songs like "How Excellent Is Your Name." During academic disappointments in secondary school, Jimmy Swaggart's "El Shaddai" reminded me that God remains unchanged across generations.Nigeria's rich contribution to worship music has profoundly influenced my spiritual expression. From Pastor Chris Oyakhilome's thanksgiving anthems to vibrant Pidgin worship declaring "Na Hemo" (It is Him who makes life better), these cultural expressions transform everyday challenges into opportunities for divine encounter. The "Miracle of Damman" football story perfectly illustrates how a simple song declaration—"He's a miracle-working God"—literally changed circumstances as Nigeria overcame a four-goal deficit against Russia.These musical archives have become my secret weapon before recording podcast episodes, positioning my heart and mind for inspiration. For millennials and Gen Z listeners especially, these archives hold wisdom and power that transcends generations. As we celebrate four years of The Word Cafe, I'm grateful for this space where we lean on one another's experiences to forge positive paths forward.

Talking in-depth with writer, linguist, and anon AMRX Mark II, a dissident voice from the Pacific on escaping the cults of ideology, the yearning for identity in a "no place" like Hawaii, and what it means to walk away from ideological affiliations. Political beliefs as personal alibi, the sickness of escapism, the craving for heroes, identity formation and linguistics, cultural alienation and mimicry. Objectivism and disillusionment, the false theatre of Hawaiian sovereignty movements, the psy-op of Mauna Kea, the flattening hybridization of Pidgin, and Hawaii as a laboratory of empire. We talk about Substack as a space for intellectual deprogramming/engineering, the ritual of purging belief systems, and the existential loneliness that drives the search for meaning. Code-switching, mirror languages, sovereignty as theatre, linguistic education, the bridging importance of Sanskrit, to finally becoming your own guru—no cope, no hero, no group—emphasizing self-improvement and personal responsibility.ExcerptsHawaiian Local Identity Here is where cultures seem to come to die. I see everyone around me losing their heritage. Like all the kids I grew up with they're all children of immigrants and they did not identify with their parents' languages or cultures at all. In many cases they couldn't speak their parents' language and they, were trying, they were like me.They were trying to find some alternative identity and so we were all alienated. And I think that's quite common here, but people just don't talk about it.On Hawaiian Pigeon Pidgin is a very complicated thing in Hawaii because people have this strange relationship with it. People use it as a marker of local identity, but it's also something that they're ashamed of…As a thought experiment for decades now, I've thinking about how pidgin can become like this new fusion identity in Hawaii. And one idea I had for a stack was writing about how the Hawaiian sovereignty movement here totally rejects pidginOn Mauna Kea as Psy-op I think purpose of the psy-op was to distract from the military operations going on near Mauna KeaOn The Role of Social Dynamics in Political AffiliationsOne of the major reasons I got sucked into all of this was just social, really. That's the sad thing. I am an extreme introvert, and I find it very difficult to talk to people. The thing about all these different cults is that if you believe that everyone, you deal with, is on the same page as you, then socialization becomes very easy. Affiliations as Surrogate Identity I've noticed that a lot of Objectivists are in the same, are in a similar position to me. There's like these Objectivists who come from non-white backgrounds and they want to be some sort of weird and some sort of new thing.Ayn Rand herself and her own inner circle, they were all Jewish, but they were, they wanted to be something other than Jewish. They were trying to run away from it. And I was like them. I see that in hindsight now. I didn't wanna be Japanese. I wanted to be like this weird like new, what I've called new objectivist man, that was, not Japanese, not Asian, not anything. So all these ident, all these cult identities were attempts to run away from who I was and I just regarded so as just so cringe now, not that I embrace who I am, I still have identity issues, but I don't think signing up for a group and is really the answer anymore. But it, it was just so easy.So I poured all my energy into learning Japanese and I went to university in Japan. And that was just a complete disaster. Because I realized I really did not fit in there. The language is not the problem. I could do the classes I could do the tests, I could write the papers.That was not the issue. I, it made me realize how superficial my idea of Japanese identity was just because I could speak, read and write Japanese didn't mean I really belonged there. And I realized, yeah, this is just not for me anymore. And then I started doubling down on the Objectivist stuff, because as I just mentioned, objectivism is like a, is like for non main, like people of color…like this weird surrogate identity.AMRX Mark II Get full access to Leafbox at leafbox.substack.com/subscribe

WPRB News and Culture: The Pidgin is dedicating an entire episode to the beauty of the radio. Independent radio enables the Pidgin's existence, and does so much more than bring audio to our car speakers. First, Natalia Maidique and Teo Grosu host a LIVE interview with Dr. Jeff Dror from Florida University about what's behind this medium – radio waves! – and what these waves can tell us about the elusive dark matter that makes our Universe. Next, Maggie Stewart and Ariel Chen dig into library archives to highlight a snapshot in history, the tragedy of 9/11 and how radio played a role in covering it, and healing the communities it impacted. Finally, Margo Mattes focuses on radio and independent journalism in Hong Kong, and talks to Princeton senior Joshua Yang about his experience with that scene.Hosted and produced by Teo Grosu and Natalia Maidique.

This week, The Pidgin keeps its wits about it and takes on something that's been plaguing our online spaces, and how we interact with them: brainrot. Mind-numbing and addictive, born on TikTok and leaking into real life, brainrot has come to be a quintessential part of contemporary culture. And we're turning it on its head. For our community section, Maggie Stewart talks to sociologist Niobe Way, to Stanford psychologist Judy Chu, and to some of her own male friends, to understand what the internet phenomenon of the TikTok Rizz Party reveals about modern masculinity, and boyhood. Up next, in our culture section, reporters Martiza Roberts and Emilka Puchlaski go to an Everyone Asked About You Concert, and they get the feeling that emo isn't dead, but concert etiquette might be. And for science, we stay on our social science kick, and we have WPRB usual suspect Margo Mattes interviews a sociologist from the Toronto Metropolitan University about the experiences of older adults with social media. This episode of the Pidgin was hosted and produced by Teo Grosu, reported, and recorded by Maggie Stewart, Margo Mattes, Emilka Puchlaski, and Martiza Roberts, and edited by Teo Grosu, Zachary Vernon, Maggie Stewart, Amelia Carneiro-Zhu, Margo Mattes, and Natalia Maidique.(1:54) The TikTok Rizz Party(27:10) Emo Isn't Dead, But Concert Etiquette Might Be(44:11) Not Your Mama's Brainrot

You'll hear their conversation with the world's youngest Q-grader, who draws from her experience of having her own coffee line to give us an insider's view of what it takes to grow, and commercialize coffee. And for the Culture section of today's show, Annie Rupertus gives a nod who those who think that coffee is about the experience, by taking us along on a quest to find a close friend a coffee shop to feel at home in when he moves to a new city.
