Geopats: Expat life explored in niches

How can a blind person learn and engage with language? Kavein, who has been blind since birth, is here to help us understand more about language learning and usage while being blind. We als touch on accessibility issues with technology, specifically screen readers. Kavein grew up using 3 languages in Malaysia: Tamil, Bahasa Malay and English. He has a fascination with the evolution and history of language. We also dive into a really fun tangent about emojis that I think you'll enjoy. The second part of this episode is about Kavein's podcasting obsession and will be on Geopats Podcasting next week.

​In this episode we chat with Expat Mo from the More Sibyl Podcast. She describes this show as “a podcast about culture and cultural nomads designed for Blacks and Asians and those who love them.” Mo is a Nigerian-born, US-educated, Korean-speaking, Struggling Intellectual.
​I enjoyed chatting with Mo so much about her Facebook posts from her first year in the U.S. Her reflections on her own posts and the discussion that ensued really got me thinking about what we take for granted when we grow up in a culture AND what we expect others to accept readily when they enter the same culture as an adult. Mo’s honesty, hilarious sense of humor and compassion for others is very inspiring.

Conversations are precious and intimate but when we start recording them we often are too careful not to change anything. Removing sections of an episode can make it more focused and in turn, make your brand look stronger and more trustworthy. We hate to be the ones to break it to you but spending time taking out parts of your episodes will help you branded podcast.

If you’re recording with audio and video but only using the audio for your solopreneur podcast, there are connective moments that you might be missing out on. Facial expressions, hand gestures and things happening in the room are all visual moments that, when shared, can help you listeners relate more to the speakers in the episode. Here are some of our recommendations on how to start sharing these visual moments...audibly.
