In this episode, a guest with a truly fascinating story, Egon Wong, joins Aedan to discuss an array of thought-provoking and relatable topics in the realm of third-culture, including the role that parents play in nurturing the next generation of TCK's and the possibility of beginning small talk encounters with the question "Where are you local?" instead of the dreaded "Where are you from?", which is based on ideas presented during a TED Talk given by Taiye Selasi in 2014.

After a short break, the podcast makes a return. This time, Aedan has a chat with mega-multicultural friend Emonie about her perspective on the importance we place on identity as TCK's and the varying degrees of connectedness she feels with each of the cultures that she is part of.

In this episode, Aedan is joined by Ottilia, the first ever guest to feature on the podcast! Tune in to find out how she became known as the “Finn from Luxembourg”, in addition to her fascinating take on the role that languages play in our lives and identities as third culture kids.
