Podcast Overview

How much of our behavior, belief systems and assumptions about others are dictated by our geography? The Accidental Anthropologist, hosted by Catherine Zinger, explores universal themes from diverse cultural perspectives to help listeners suspend default assumptions about how things "should be done." Catherine's multicultural background and experiences as a Filipina/American/Canadian living in Europe for 20+ years have made her culturally-astute at embracing "the new normal." She approaches each interview and topic with sensitivity, humour, authenticity and kindness.
