Here’s a valuable resource in podcast form: Absolutely Intercultural. These podcasts explore intercultural aspects of human intercultural communication. The show’s hosts, Anne Fox and Dr. Laurent Borgmann, are from Denmark and Germany, respectively. 
They post a new podcast every second Friday. Anne and Laurent’s goal with these podcasts isn’t so much to disseminate information, but rather to start an intercultural dialogue between them, the hosts, the contributors, and the listeners.

They have archived podcasts going all the way back to 2006, so there’s plenty to choose from. You can listen to the podcasts straight from their blog or download them to an mp3 player. Enjoy!
We love connecting with our readers! Why not…
