Panama with Magdalena Arias - Pirate Invasion

UK and Bosnia - Host Special!

On the last episode of the semester we explore the home countries of the two hosts: Harun and Onder! They answer all the same questions that our previous guests have had and we think this hybrid of countries is taking a giant leap towards achieving world peace. Just a reminder that these episodes were recorded during winter study and so phrases like 'We hope you make it home safe' are quite redundant amid the current pandemic. Nonetheless, we hope you've enjoyed season one and we wish to bring y'all season two this fall (fingers crossed for an in-person semester.)

Colombia with Salvador Robayo - He Jinxed 2020

In today's episode, we find out exactly why 2020 has been such a sh*tstorm! Salvador tells us that he did not eat 12 grapes and make wishes when entering 2020 and that is why he might have a bad year. Well, Sal was very right in this statement which he made two months before COVID-19 smashed through the earth. It is probably helpful to remember that we recorded this during Winter Study. Oh and yeah, Colombia! We find out that people are very kind yet mischievous. Make sure that you rest well when you get to Bogota because of how high it is! Salvador is unsure if he sees his future in Bogota; he is an American citizen after all.

Albania with Kristel Hasani - Walking Over Borders

On this weeks episode, we speak to Kristel from Albania. The country with the peculiar flag seems to have very diverse terrain and plenty of liveliness to go around throughout the capital. Kristel is dying to take Harun and Onder to the beach but they are simply swamped with work and politely decline. Kristel doesn't take to this too well but still puts on a brave face and continues with the episode. She is very knowledgable on her home country; listen and find out!

Tunisia with Achref Dhahbi - Bread Episode

This might just be the weirdest, most cringy episode of CoW. It feels as if the five months of friendship between this trio has not materialized into a good episode of Cultures. But who is to blame? Achref forced bread down our throats and we felt uncomfortable in his presence. The feud was later resolved and the trio remained as such for decades to come. Enjoy!

Panama with Magdalena Arias - Pirate Invasion

In this weeks episode we speak to Magda from Panama City. We learn that the famous 'Panama Hat' is actually a common tourists misconception and that the hat is actually Ecuadorian. We also quiz Magda with our three statements which she *spoiler alert* gets correct. Enjoy!
