As the Culture Class Podcast celebrates its 5th anniversary, it's a moment to reflect on the journey that started in 2018 in the studios of American University's School of Communication. Founded by Tongwa Akanji and Nosa Iyare, the podcast embarked on a mission to foster learning and understanding between cultures.
The Essence of Culture Class
At its core, Culture Class is more than just a podcast; it's a vibrant classroom where every listener and guest is both a teacher and a student of life. The show's ethos, "everyone is a student of life," encapsulates its goal to encourage people to learn from one another, thereby promoting tolerance and understanding across diverse cultures.
Notable Episodes and Impact
Over the years, Culture Class has hosted a variety of guests, each bringing unique perspectives and stories. From Rev. Jide Macaulay discussing what it feels like to be a gay priest to President Kevin Baugh sharing tales from the micro-nation Molossia, the podcast has consistently provided a platform for engaging and thought-provoking conversations. Recent episodes like "The Lobbyist" with Corky Kyle showcase the depth and diversity of topics covered, further emphasizing the podcast's commitment to exploring a wide range of cultural experiences.
Looking Forward
As Culture Class enters its sixth year, it stands as a testament to the power of storytelling and dialogue in bridging cultural gaps. The podcast continues to evolve, offering listeners a chance to be part of a global conversation that enlightens, educates, and entertains.
Culture Class Podcast's fifth anniversary is more than a milestone; it's a celebration of continuous learning and cultural exchange. Here's to many more years of fostering understanding and connections across the world.
