Podcasting started as a way to have conversations about niche cultural topics that Steph is intrigued with and grew into much more. Stephanie often jokes that the "S" in Stephanie stands for "sharing" and that ideology runs through all of the podcasts, podcasting services and community projects that HearShare Productions is involved with.
--------------------------- About the Geopats Podcasts ---------------------------- The Geopats Podcasts (there are many!) started off as a project that focused on my own culturally blended soul, then evolved into talking to expats (and sometimes immigrants) about their unique between culture lens on the world. And finally, we started talking with anyone, anywhere who has been touched by multiple cultures, regardless of geography to these cultures. We call these globally minded folks "Geopats." ------------------ About Stephanie ------------------ Stephanie is an American who has been living overseas for the majority of the past 16 years. She lived in Asia from 2003 to 2019, with a few breaks for two stints at graduate school in the U.S. In Asia, she lived in places like Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Japan and China. She has been in Berlin, Germany since January 2020. Most of podcast related project on this site started after she left a PhD program in the U.S. in late 2016. The program was excellent but it was not leading to the creative or research path she wanted long term. After returning to China in January 2017, she needed a space to create, share and think: thus these projects were born. All of the projects revolve around questions that Stephanie is trying to answer. Steph is very open to collaborations, questions and suggestions. |
