The Nephews Podcast

Episode 3: Peter

ENG: One could say, that The Nephews podcast owes it's name to Peter, because that name only makes sense since he began calling me "Uncle B" back in 8th grade. Now as a 21 year old retail apprentice getting ready to move into his first apartment, Peter and I look back at his journey from being a troubled teen to a confident young man chasing his dreams. DA: Man kunne sige, at The Nephews-podcasten skylder sit navn til Peter, fordi det navn kun giver mening, da han begyndte at kalde mig 'Onkel B' tilbage i 8. klasse. Nu, som en 21-årig detailhandel-elev, der gør sig klar til at flytte ind i sin første lejlighed, ser Peter og jeg tilbage på hans rejse fra at være en udfordret teenager til en selvsikker ung mand, der jagter sine drømme.

Episode 2: Carlos

ENG: Carlos is a bright young man I got to know while he attended 10th grade at UngeCenter2610. In my English class we had many discussions about race in America and Denmark, and the social dynamics at play in both countries. Now at age 21, while he is focused on his education and working hard to perform well, he still finds himself in a crisis of identity, as do many young Danes with a diverse ethnic background. DA: Carlos er en skarp ung mand, jeg lærte at kende, mens han gik i 10. klasse på UngeCenter2610. I min engelsktime havde vi mange diskussioner om race i Amerika og Danmark, og den sociale dynamik på spil i begge lande. Nu i en på 21 år, mens han er fokuseret på sin uddannelse og arbejder hårdt for at præstere godt, befinder han sig stadig i en identitetskrise, ligesom mange unge danskere med forskellige etniske baggrund.

Episode 1: Nikolaj

ENG: Nikolaj is one of my former students from 10th grade at UngeCenter2610. I met him when he was a quiet but competitive 16 years old kid, who wasn't crazy about school, but loved to play ice hockey. Now as a young man he is working hard to complete his education and learn a trade so he can support himself and make his way in the world, and still hold on to his passion. DA: Nikolaj er en af mine gamle elever fra 10.klasse på UngeCenter2610. Jeg lært ham at kende som en stille men konkurrencedygtig dreng på 16 år, der var ikke så vild med skole, men elskede at spille ishockey. Nu som en ung mand på 22 år, knokler han for at blive færdig med sin håndværkeruddannelse, så han kan find et arbejde og skabe et godt liv for sig selv, mens han holder fast til passionen.
