Who We Are
As hosts, we’re two third-culture kids—individuals who’ve grown up between the East and the West. Though our cultural ingredients are similar, our paths have been different, leading to unique worldviews and rich conversations.
In a time where the world feels increasingly polarized, we hope to bridge divides by showcasing the spectrum of perspectives that exist beyond binaries. Our mission is to explore ideas that provoke thought, inspire dialogue, and create empathy across divides.
Podcast Structure
Episodes air twice a month, alternating between candid conversations and thought-provoking interviews with guests who bring fascinating insights. The podcast’s name, "Neither Here Nor There: Conversations Across ______" (NHNT) reflects our uncertainty in identity as multicultural individuals while the blank “______” in the title represents our openness to exploring any and all topics.
The tagline? A cheeky nudge to embrace more conversation and open-mindedness in every interaction.
Brand Identity
Character Traits: If this podcast were a person, they would be: Global and worldly: a citizen of everywhere, yet deeply rooted in lived experience. Curious and thoughtful: open to new perspectives but not afraid to challenge its own opinions. Passionate and empathetic: driven to find commonality in the human experience. Witty and approachable: equally comfortable having a lighthearted chat or an existential deep dive.
Voice and Tone: We aim for a conversational yet thought-provoking tone. The podcast is casual, smart, and cheeky, encouraging audiences to engage with ideas in a meaningful way without taking itself too seriously.
Visual Identity
The branding of NHNT emphasizes the in-between. The color scheme features black, gray, and white with accents of vibrant colors, representing the wide spectrum of topics and perspectives we explore. There is no stark white or black—to reference how nothing is ever “all-or-nothing.”
Typography is clean, legible, and professional, with a subtle flair of eccentricity. It reflects the balance between thoughtful analysis and playful exploration.
Our Purpose
In a world where cultural boundaries blur and global perspectives expand, NHNT strives to:
- Generate meaningful conversations.
- Challenge misconceptions and generalizations.
- Provide non-US-centric insights and perspectives.
- Build a community of curious, thoughtful listeners.
Our target audience includes individuals intrigued by the “other” experience—those pondering identity, connection, and the complex questions that come with navigating life outside the norm.
