Local Tea for Foreign Ears is an English-language podcast about German pop culture and what it feels like to live around a culture you didn’t grow up in. From TV shows and chart hits to memes, celebrities, trends, and everyday local drama, each episode dives into one piece of “local tea” that seems obvious to everyone else. It’s curious, conversational, and made to create more connection, more context, and fewer what-the-hell-is-that moments.

Welcome to The Foreign Local, where we’re connecting the Egyptian diaspora with what real life looks like in Om el Donya through the lens of those who grew up abroad and moved back to Egypt as adults. On this podcast, you’ll find a series of candid conversations about what it’s like to grow up as an Egyptian abroad, what prompted people to come back, and what it’s been like existing in the sweet spot between not being a foreigner yet not quite being a local either. Episodes drop every Tuesday. You can find us on Instagram @theforeignlocal.
