Ep.33: Let's Start at the Beginning

A look back at our first two episodes and how it all began.

Every great story starts at the beginning. Now that The Spark is almost four years old, Meg and Amy wanted to take a look back on how it all started. They reflect on their first two episodes and from it emerges a the topic of growth. Amy shares how she’s learned to less-critical of herself and Meg shares how she’s learned to become more herself and less self-conscious. Taylor Swift and Jay-Z (not Dr. Dre) lyrics are quoted along the way.

千里之行,始于足下。每一个引人入胜的“后来”,都在“很久很久以前”之后。在火花电台四岁生日之际,Meg和Amy重温创作起点。她们终于克服了恐惧和尴尬,重新聆听了火花电台的第一集和第二集,并且讨论了这四年里二人的变化和成长。Amy分享了她学着如何减少对自己不必要的苛责,Meg分享了她如何更加勇敢地直面自己内心,克服因为自我意识过重而导致的过度局促。霉妹和Jay-Z (在录制的时候,我们以为是Dr.Dre) 的歌词在这集中也起了极大的作用。

Discussion about this podcast

The Spark Podcast
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。
