Episode 13 - Deep Culture: You can’t get that from Wikipedia!
/

Joseph Shaules and Yvonne van der Pol are back for season two! They discuss the hidden power of deep culture—unconscious cultural knowledge that is powerful because we don’t notice it. We hear about deep culture experiences from the podcast team—Ishita Ray’s surprise at how her French colleagues ordered food; Zeina Matar’s visit to her mother’s hometown—and the sheep that was almost sacrificed; how Daniel Glinz met his Japanese girlfriend’s parents for the first time, and what  shocked him about their behavior. We also learn how brain-mind research can help us understand the hidden power of deep culture.
