How to Second Gen
by Mark Hiew
November 4, 2020 9:17 am
Frank, lighthearted conversations with 2nd generation immigrants, in which we discuss culture shock, race, fitting in, not fitting in, and identity. People migrate. This is a podcast about their kids. We explore what it’s like to be raised in one culture but with parents from another one. We discuss figuring things out as you go along, and ultimately, what it means to belong, in our mobile, globalized world. Theme music is “Protofund” by Kevin Macleod: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4247-protofunk More info: http://markhiew3.wix.com/howtosecondgen
