Chasing Encounters

From New York city in the United States, Justin Gerald, the host of Unstandardized English Podcast, joined us in this crossover episode to share his thoughts and ideas about starting a podcast. He went to South Korea to teach English where he got motivated to continue his research work. Growing up in white spaces, as a black person, he started questioning what it means to be educated and have economic resources. Inspired by his wife, he took this questioning to his podcast in order to engage in conversations about language and race. Although technologically difficult in the beginning, he explains all the advantages of doing a podcast. From reaching out to broader audiences and diverse guests, Justin hopes Unstandardized English Podcast becomes an accessible space for more critical conversations.
