It's Called Culture

About It's Called Culture

First generation Portuguese-Americans reflect on their heritage in a sarcastic and entertaining collection of discussions that preserve the past of our culture and look to shape the future of it. Sharing our own stories (and those of our guests and listeners) across the backdrop of the immigrant experience, we unwind ideas of guilt, fear, shame, and social norms influenced by ethnicity, religion, and media. Each new episode also has a segment dedicated to sharing mental health best practices (the elephant in the room of our culture). Guests and listeners of all cultures encouraged!

Hint: It's even better than cobwebs. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/folkandfad/support (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/folkandfad/support)
