Following part one comes part two of The Spark’s interview with former fashion industry journalist and current editor at VICE Asia Pacific, Rachel Ruonan Zheng. In the second half of the interview Meg and Amy dive in deeper with Rachel as she shares the benefits and challenges of working and living in a bilingual environment. Together, Meg, Amy, and Rachel examine the cultural power gap existing within and beyond personal relationships. Wrapping up the conversation, Rachel discusses her journey in creating her own podcast, ZiYouZiZai 自由自在. 这一集是和（前VICE中国）的主编以及前时尚行业记者Rachel Ruonan Zheng 采访的下半部分。在第二段采访中，Meg 和 Amy 和 Rachel 深入探讨了在一个双语环境中工作的利弊。三个人更是一起深究了在感情中——不论是私人情感还正常生活中——有可能存在的文化权力差异。采访结束前，Rachel 和大家分享了她在工作之余创立的中文播客：自由自在。

The Spark Podcast
The Spark is a podcast that explores what it means to traverse cultures and share stories that intersect Chinese and American culture to interrupt barriers and create connections.
The Spark is a cultural haven - A space held by a friendship between two women from two different countries, meeting at the point where their cultures, identities and stories intersect. Their conversations are grounded in transparency as they move beyond previous perceptions and ideas of the other to form deep connections as human beings first.
这是一个由两个来自不同文化背景的女生创造的广播平台。Amy Tianyi Zhao (微博：赵枣儿Amy）虽然来自中国，但她的教育背景和生活履历让她与西方文化产生了强烈的共鸣。Megan Dowaliby 虽然来自美国，但来自中国的老公让她对中国产生了浓厚的兴趣。两个完全不同的女生在一张传统中国餐桌上相遇。语言的交流引发了思想的碰撞。在那次晚餐两年后的今天，火花电台诞生。我们相信，一个人的国籍，以及其居住地并不能代表TA的文化身份。在一个全球化的时代，我们在不同文化中看到自己的影子，每个人都可能是很多文化交流和互动的产物。我们希望通过她们的对话和讨论，加深人们对“跨文化”身份的认同，赋予人们了解世界的激情和力量，最终达到促进世界，尤其是中美两国互相理解的进程。
