The 3C Podcast highlights the rich cultural narratives of our international students at Ohio University. As part of a larger storytelling initiative—Culture, Community, and Connection—launched by the Barbara Geralds Institute for Storytelling and Social Impact, The 3C Podcast is an exploration into the diverse experiences and perspectives that shape our global community at Ohio University. Through conversations about language, music, food, dance, relationships, attire, and so much more, students share their stories of transition and discovery in a joyful and impactful manner. Each episode is designed to celebrate and empower international students by amplifying their voices and connecting them with broader audiences, offering listeners the opportunity to learn and leave inspired.
A tremendous thanks to Colin Cameron for creating our original musical score.
