Composting with limited space:
Soil enthusiast Pierre Lebrun talks about the possibility of composting using alternative methods for those of us with very limited or no outdoor space - like a Phnom Penh apartment.
Naoki Nishiyama:
Vermont Curry:
Not many Japanese have been to Vermont, but all the Japanese people know about Vermont because of one thing, "Vermont Curry."
It's funny Japanese people totally missunderstand about the actual Vermont and there are more things Japanese people totally misunderstand because of certain things diffused in Japan.
Elijah Wilsher:
Yes, that’s sound!:
Audio enthusiast Elijah explores the phenomena of sound, and how it can both inform and deceive in our perception of the world. Discover the physics behind sound, how we interpret space through a digital reverb, and what we experience when spatial cues are taken away.
John Weeks:
Tiny Tiny Life Hacks:
19 small but effective life hacks
Paht:
A KHMER THIRD CULTURE KID:
“Where are you from?” and “Where is home?” are not always easy to answer for a growing number of people. Multi-cultural Paht discusses his quest for home and identity as a Cambodian third culture kid (TCK) - one who grew up in more than one country or culture, the cons and pros of being a TCK, and the new cross-cultural experiences among some of Phnom Penh’s GenZers.
