Who created them, and why were they meant to be viewed from above? In this episode, we explore the mystery of the Nazca Lines and the life of Maria Reiche, the woman who devoted decades to studying and protecting them… and, for reasons that will make sense later, my dad buying brushes.

"why should we preserve these celebrations? because they keep us alive and they keep life alive..." India is full of celebrations woven with lights, kites, history, wisdom, and novelty. Its calendar moves not only through months, but through rituals, stories, and shared memory. To truly explore them all, we could dedicate an entire season. For now, this episode attempts to gather their essence.

And after you taste it, now that place feels familiar, and you can’t stop describing the flavor—because words are not enough. In this episode, street food becomes a way of reading the city: through memory, movement, and the quiet authority of taste.

we unboxed Brazil for you—exploring its culture, African roots, music, and stories that inspire and uplift the soul.

“learning someone else’s language is like building a bridge... suddenly, you both belong to the same space.” On today’s episode, it’s all about language. Peruvian and Indian languages are incredibly rich, and we’re diving into their depth, history, and beauty.

"how do you learn your traditions?" In this episode, we explore the ways traditions are passed down—through family, community, and everyday habits. We reflect on what we’ve inherited, what we may have misunderstood, and how we can improve the way we learn, preserve, and question traditions in a changing world.

"...do you correct people when they mispronounced your name?" In this episode, we explore why names matter—or if they really do. Around the world, people carry names that can be difficult for others to pronounce—but should we be the ones making the effort to adapt? What do our names represent in today’s world, and how much of our identity do they carry? We reflect on the unspoken pressure to modify our names for others’ comfort, and question whether accommodation is an act of respect or a form of erasure. Is it too late to rethink how we approach this, or is this a conversation we’ve simply never taken the time to have? A reflective discussion on identity, language, and belonging.
