01: Why Third World Culture? Reclaiming Language, Storytelling & Identity with Almer Mikhail
Manage episode 489766372 series 3184678
In our debut episode, we unpack the meaning behind “Third World Culture”—where the term comes from, what it challenges, and why reclaiming language matters for Southeast Asian and cross-cultural creatives.
Almer Mikhail, Editor & Writer of Further Reading and Serving Suggestion, joins us to share his journey through publishing, design, and food—and how his thesis on the Cold War and Watchmen continues to shape his editorial worldview.
We also explore why Gen Z creatives are increasingly drawn to curation, media education, and storytelling in an AI-driven world.
This episode sets the tone for the season: slower, more intentional, rooted in conversation.
