- S2E12 Old New Bachelor
Caye and Dan return to a two-person format to celebrate the completion of his bachelor's degree. We take the opportunity to talk about architecture, modern German culture, movies, tourism, the experimental nature of exploring ourselves through the safe space of fiction, and how Caye is actually the old soul deep inside.

Danau Tanu)We start the new year with a very special guest Danau Tanu PH.d, author of the book "Growing up in Transit: the Politics of Belonging at an International School." We discuss the themes of her book, examining the Third Culture experience from different post-colonial perspectives, identity crisis in later life, and the processes of adjusting to new environments. This may include how to cross the street.Buy us a coffee at our Kofi page! https://ko-fi.com/thirdculturetalksMusic:Shades of Spring by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4342-shades-of-springLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/1 hr 14 min
- S2E7: Juggling Geese (ft. Megan C. Norton)
In this episode, we welcome our guest Megan C. Norton, intercultural trainer, podcaster and Adult Third Culture Kid. Currently based in Michigan, we get to share notes on that most particular of states, but further get to explore her more classic story of global nomad life: constantly moving every 3 years as the child of a diplomat and then for work in her adult life. We also discover why a Vietnamese Texas Oil Man might juggle geese.

Dan and Caye take an episode for themselves to talk about something else cultural: subcultures. They discuss some subculture trends in music, geek culture, and their changes over time. The conversation also moves on to discuss how trying subcultures can relate to belonging, growth, and identity, but also be a bit of a human tendency towards tribalism. They even discuss whether Third Culture Kids are a subculture and whether it can ever actually go mainstream. Don't worry, some gutter humour makes it through.

For this episode, Dan invites a friend, Borna Forsek, who was born in Croatia, grew up in Syria, studied hospitality with Dan in Switzerland, worked on cruise ships and is currently settling in Ireland. He shares stories of growing up in Damascus before the war, life as a hotel management student in Switzerland, and some hijinks in the hotel and cruise industry, much to Caye's pleasure.

Cayetano returns, this time with a guest from his own adolescence in Michigan, David Flores. He and Caye go down memory lane, particularly of their music journey together, but also include Dan in the discussion comparing International Baccalaureate programs between an American high school and an International School. David even provides a possible exploit for up and coming IB students. Nevertheless, Caye and David get to share aspects of the 10 years of their friendship, even across the Atlantic Ocean.

Caye has been flooded with real-life and had to sit out this episode, so Dan pulled in a comedian friend for a hangout session. Harry Fücks is half-English, half-German and a single dad of two living in Zürich. He has thrived in the local English-speaking comedy scene in Switzerland with his deadpan tone and dark humour. He also co-hosts the XYZ Podcast with two other Zürcih-based comedians. Harry and Dan chat about a variety of topics, including comedy, parenting, over-achievers and the self-discovery story of a sex club in France.
