The Indo Window: Recent Episodes
Zahra
Welcome to The Indo Window! As an Indonesian born-and-raised in the UK, I have always been aware of the cultural differences, shocks and (quite rarely) similarities that exist between the two countries. The Indo Window is a place where I hope to share and discuss what it’s like to grow up in a place so far from my heritage. As a new guest will feature in each episode, a range of unexpected, yet interesting conversations and stories are bound to take place. Follow the pod's Instagram: @theindowindow.podcast
Daffa A (not my brother) joins us for episode 10, as we explore his experiences growing up in countries other than that of his parents' origin, which classes him as a third culture kid! He shares and compares what it was like growing up in Abu Dhabi and Bangkok, before coming to the UK for university.
For the ninth episode of the show, Ican and I dive into the cultural differences within the sensitive topics of nightlife, drinking and drugs. We discuss the approaches and attitudes towards these subjects in Indonesia. Tune in to the great insight Ican gives us!
Welcome back to the 8th episode! This week we are joined by not one, but two very special guests - Satya and Yandra. Having both studied and pursued a career within the film and media industry, we discuss their experiences studying abroad, alongside the media scene back home in Indonesia. This episode definitely includes a lot of interesting conversations revolving around this topic.
After taking a week's break, this episode goes into the ins and outs of my experience isolating, being covid-positive and touches slightly upon mental health. I am very lucky to have had a safe place to isolate, with the essential resources being provided to me too. Please check the Instagram post for this episode for more information on the UK and Indonesian helplines mentioned in this episode. Thanks for listening!
In this week's episode, Andrea and I discuss all things within the dating scene. We shared our thoughts on dating cultures in both Indonesia and the UK. As someone who has lived a good amount of time in both countries, Andrea's perspective was really interesting and I certainly learnt a lot about the Indonesian side of things. Hope you enjoy!
Being one of the biggest idols in my life, I knew that I had to bring my own father on to the show. I’ve always admired his story and thought it’d be a good one to share. As we’ve both experienced our (very different) university lives in London, we share points of comparison and differences. Hope you enjoy listening!
This week's episode features my Jakarta-based cousin, Rannia! Having lived so far apart from each other throughout our whole lives, we are closer than ever. We discuss the factors that helped us stay connected, and how we managed to grow up together several miles apart. This also marks the first episode to be recorded remotely (so apologies for any audio differences). Hope you enjoy!
Being told that your family is moving half way across the world in the middle of your teenage years is bound to be a shocking piece of news. Packing everything up and moving from Indonesia to the UK, Adnan shares his experiences having lived in both the East and West. From both our knowledge in education, mannerisms and social lives in both countries, we discuss significant differences that have been notable. Tune in to hear all about Adnan and I’s insights!
In this week's episode, I am joined by my older brother, Daffa. We discuss what it was like growing up together in the UK as Indonesians - from school, challenges we faced and finding our identity. With a 3-year age difference, we're bound to have experienced different things and so there are moments of agreeing and disagreeing throughout. Hope you enjoy!
