Geopats Abroad
Join Stephanie Fuccio, a serial expat of 20+ years, to explore nuances of countries and cultures around the world. Through candid conversations with fellow internationals, she explores daily life culture and norms in places where her guests (and herself) are not from in an attempt to understand where they are living and the lovely people around them.

Identity & Translation with Writer, Translator, Global Linguistic Soul Jeremy Tiang: S6E3
As a writer and playright, words are what Jeremy Tiang uses to share his ideas about the world and all of its ambiguity.
In his prose he addresses issues of identity, culture, and the boundaries of what we think these things mean. His upbringing in Singapore was multicultural and yet it was not. So much so that when asked what his first language is he replies, “It is complicated” and it is easy to see why.Singapore, very much like Jeremy and very much like most curious, discerning people such as yourself (yes, listeners, I am talking about you), is in a state of constant change. This change includes how it shares itself with the world and Jeremy plays a part in how we see both Singapore and its people, especially, if I understand it right, those who are not often portrayed in the national narrative.
