About Not Your Culture

Not Your Culture is an open conversation between Jonathan Philip, a Saint Lucian national who migrated to New York City, and his various guests who share the migrant experience. Jonathan started the podcast as research and an extension to a book-in-progress that he was inspired to write as he noticed there were several differences between the culture in NYC and the culture he grew up in. However, what intrigued him most were the little things; the scents, the way people greet each other (or don't), and other minor cultural oddities. Although the book is focused on his personal experience, the podcast allows him to compare or contrast experiences with his peers. Join us as we discuss our experiences with culture shock, here and abroad to answer a fundamental question - "Where is home?"

Not Your Culture - 7 - Mykel Agyenim-Boateng

On this week's episode we catch up with another one of my NYU friends, Mykel Agyenim-Boateng as he reflects on his recent visit to his home country which he left when he was only 4 years old. Born in Accra, Ghana and raised in the Bronx, New York, Mykel has been surrounded by creatives all his life. He’s a man of God first, a musician, producer, and an artist, but at his core, simply a creative. Let's dive in as I catch up with an old friend as he revisits that reconnection to his home country.

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.
