Ep. 01Welcome
Welcome to Expat-ish
Why we made this show, who it is for, and the strange comfort of finally naming the in-between.
A podcast from The Otherhood
Real talk from life between cultures.
A podcast about identity, belonging, cultural friction, and the strange emotional math of building a life somewhere that changes you.
No glossy expat fantasy. No relocation brochure energy. Just the real stories from the in-between.
About the show
The move is only the beginning.
Expat-ish starts where most expat stories get interesting: after the arrival, after the novelty, after the first awkward dinner, language fail, or identity wobble.
This is where we talk about belonging, culture, friendship, marriage, reinvention, and all the moments that make you ask, “Wait, who am I becoming here?”
01
Identity
Who you are when the context changes.
02
Belonging
The room you walk into. The room you carry.
03
Cultural Friction
The small collisions that quietly rewrite you.
04
Reinvention
Becoming new, without the glitter.
05
Real Stories
From the in-between. No fantasy. No brochure.

Lost in Translation
When your first language starts behaving like a second one — accent, slang, jokes, the works.
