The Journey Onwards with Anand Dattani Anand Dattani I have the fortune of speaking with some brilliant minds who all share the commonality of growing as third culture kids. We explore how their family culture and backstory had an influence on their upbringing; and we discuss what role it's played in defining their own values, passions and the perspectives they have on popular life topics. From the light-hearted memories around of growing up in a household with completely different different traditions to those of their schoolfriends, to the more serious topics of finding your identity and place in a mixed (or not so mixed!) society, Season 3 promises to bring you entertainment and thought-provoking content in every episode. Making Modern New Orleans Justin A Nystrom Every drama deserves a good backstory. For New Orleans, this narrative takes place during the "long 1970s," a time when political transformation, cultural rebirth, and urban reimagining revived a fading port city. Hosted by historian Justin Nystrom and journalist Jack Davis, each episode of the Making Modern New Orleans podcast explores how the city we know came into being through first-hand accounts of the people who made them happen.
