The Art of the Podcast: Travel

Uncultured Swine

"Uncultured Swine" is a light-hearted examination of American stereotypes, particularly as they pertain to foreign countries. Each episode features Cal, the host of the show, and a guest from the stereotyped group, discussing several common American stereotypes, their validity, whether they appropriately represent their culture, etc. The podcast shows that if you create meaningful relationships with people, uncomfortable topics can be broached in an educational and respectful way. Episode 1 of “Uncultured Swine” looks at American stereotypes about Mexico. The episode's guest is José Dávila, a Mexican man living in Juárez and a close friend of Cal's. The two discuss tacos, Mariachi music, drug cartels, and other American stereotypes about Mexico. José was proud of the image of Mexico portrayed by certain stereotypes, not so much by others, but we talked about it all.

Globe Trotter

Globe Trotter is a travel & culture show with local and tourist perspectives. The locals give insight on living in a given country and their view of tourism there. The tourists then share some of their favorite stories and tips on travelling to that country. In this episode, we are exploring Thailand. My local perspective is Suhani, a Syracuse freshman who talked about growing up in Bangkok, her favorite dishes, and her frequented places. For this episode's tourist, I interviewed Sean, an experienced & passionate tourist who entertained me with exciting stories and great travel advice.
