Sumo Slap: Podcast Direction

Sumo Slap is a long form podcast about living in Taiwan and the realities of expat life on the island.

Hosted by a foreign resident, the show explores everyday life in Taiwan through personal stories, reflections, and open discussions about Taiwanese culture and society. Episodes often take a deeper look at topics like the education system, teaching English in Taiwan, family dynamics, social expectations, and the way children are raised.

Some conversations highlight supportive and caring environments, while others examine the more difficult realities that exist behind the scenes. The goal is not to criticize or praise blindly, but to talk honestly about the things people notice when they live here long enough to see how the system works.

Most episodes are reflective solo discussions that take time to explore ideas in depth, with guest conversations planned as the show continues to grow.

From education and work to food, travel, culture, and daily life, Sumo Slap is an open conversation about Taiwan from the perspective of someone experiencing it firsthand.
