Transcript


Everyone has a story to tell. On Voices of Exchange, tune in for stories of people, places, and international exchange. This podcast features many voices, all of whom are alumni of U.S. government exchange programs, including cultural and sports envoys, exchange visitors, U.S. Speakers, and more.

On Season 3, hear how augmented reality can redefine a place and its inhabitants; see American identity through non-immigrant eyes; explore climate activism in tribal nations and elsewhere; and, experience how hip-hop artist-educators are promoting multilateral relations.

Missed Season 2? Travel with us to Sri Lanka, Switzerland, France, Turkey, and even the International Space Station as we speak with the grandson of a famous oceanographer, a former NASA astronaut, a diplomat whose poetry draws on themes of the immigrant experience, and an architectural engineer/cultural preservationist.

And, on Season 1, hear how one student’s exchange program led him to pull the plug on a career as a doctor, how a non-profit founder is mobilizing “sea-citzens” to take action, and a paratriathlete inspires himself and us, and much more. New episodes of Voices of Exchange are released every two weeks on Spotify, iTunes, and wherever else you get your podcasts.

Voices of Exchange is brought to you by the Office of Alumni Affairs in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). Join us on Instagram at @voicesofexchange to get the latest on our podcast.
