Talking Orangutans Podcast
by Talking Orangutans Podcast
Real people - real conversations. It is easy to overlook life lessons from our peers by over-focusing on celebrities' success stories. Join me in a journey of learning from my peers and random humans. I try to extract their life experience in 1 to 2 hour conversations. This podcast is about learning of a variety of fields, feel the emotional connection to life events, challenging one's beliefs and growing in the process. Growing up and living in conservative places stops certain topics to be discussed. Hearing like-minded people talk makes me feel less weird and lonely.
