This is a place for stories to gather, a human library. It’s based in Changshu, China, managed by a team of international high school students, but it doesn’t belong to any physical location. We’ll be bringing in diverse cultural experiences from every definition of “culture” with new guests each week. Episodes are released every Saturday, 8:01 pm CST.
In a callback to our first series, another non-traditional musician, Randy, will be chatting with us this summer. Many years ago, he decided to move from the US to China, and he set off another string of changes in his life.

You Know That Scene in The Office? No? | 2. Culture Shock Ep. 6
We only release 30 min episodes when they are packed with racial and social influences in growing up, the contradiction of being familiar with yet not understanding our own cultures, and hopes of finding self-acceptance.. Here, Aria Zhu openly shares her experience in an international school and being a part of but never fitting in the cultures she has grown up around. Here's to hoping the lid stays open on this conversation.
