About Foreign Feelings: Conversations on Not Belonging

Hello fellow foreigners. Welcome home. I am Linnea George, actress and poet. On this podcast we use the translation process of poems that I have written to discuss gender roles, sexuality and the experience of feeling foreign. We invite you to bring your experiences and your language to join us in this weird and illuminating translation process... Our Differences make us The Same!

episode Foreigner artwork

Foreigner

Hello fellow foreigners. Welcome Home. Today we are talking about our foreign feelings in Arabic, Russian, Spanish & English. This is hands down my favorite episode. The introduction is long, but stick with it, it's funny at the end. It is hard to feel foreign. It doesn’t matter where you live or what you do: If you do not feel you do not belong in the body, country, or job that you are in, suffering happens. In this episode, we  share that suffering with each other. It turns out the series Friends in German is horrible...and this may very well be the cause of most of our suffering (among other things). So bring your awkward feelings and join the conversation. I promise there are a lot of weird moments...especially when I try to correctly pronounce the name of my guests.

episode I Stopped artwork

I Stopped

Hello fellow foreigners. Welcome Home. Today we are talking about our foreign feelings in Finnish, Spanish & English. ''...there are many ways to silence a woman: strangling, smothering, choking, put words into her mouth, make her eat her words, stonewalling...'' Down Girl the Logic of Misongyny, 2018 by Kate Manne. Today's episode is inspired in part by the above book, the poem I Stopped by Linnea George, the story of the Elephant and the Rope, Colonialism and the subsequent dilution of languages, the Male Gaze and GOD. (yes god herself inspired this podcast). So bring your awkward feelings and join the conversation. I promise there are a lot of weird moments...especially the one where I talk about my father walking in on me peeing.

episode Dear Daugher artwork

Dear Daugher

Hello fellow foreigners. Welcome Home. This conversation takes a surprising turn (for me) when a poem I wrote for my daughter turns into a discussion of capitalism vs. collectivism, white privilege, socio-economic privilege, and cultural imperialism wow. I have an amazing time hearing the opinion of my contributors and I think you will too. Today we are talking about our foreign feelings in Amharic, Russian and English.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
