About
Third Culture is a podcast exploring what it means to be in between. Featuring interviews with people juggling a mix of identities and heritage, the show explores the joys, tensions and intrigue that arise when you are a hybrid human. If you have ever wondered how to answer the question "Who am I?" or "Where is home?" you've come to the right place!
Third Culture is hosted and produced by Naima Sakande. New stories are added monthly.
The show was recently shortlisted by Radiotopia, from PRX in its Podquest competition, reaching the top 10 out of more than 1500 entries. Read more about it here.
