If you are interested in different culture more than different language background, https://www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/black-sheep might be interesting
Thank you. 🙏 That is actually right up my alley, although I prefer to hear from the indigenous perspective for now. NZ people of settler lineage are generally the same group I’m trying to avoid (including my own native Irish people who speak English as a first language). I will come back to it though so thanks again.
Yeah, I understand - fwiw, RNZ is the national (government backed) broadcaster, and has an explicit mandate to elevate the perspectives of iwi. Black Sheep specifically has done a few episodes about the musket wars and land confiscation that really don’t pull punches.
Another that might fit your brief: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/stuff-the-british-stole - from the ABC, and for the most part does a really good job of setting up the story with some historical context, then letting the people actually effected tell the rest
I’ve subscribed to both based on the background info you gave so thank you again. I do find those histories a bit bleak, having grown up in the (relatively distant) aftermath of it. But if those voices are represented then I think I’d be interested.
The German international broadcaster “Deutsche Welle” has some interesting podcasts on various topics. For example the African roots series
Oh, this is wonderful. I’ve just subscribed. Thank you!
I like DW and used to follow the Inside Europe podcast, but they had a lot of British and Irish people presenting the shows which sort of dampened the feeling of escapism I had been enjoying.
Does the podcast still have to be in English? And what topics are you usually interested in?
Thanks for asking. The podcast would need to be in English, yes. I’m actually open to all topics except Anglo culture and politics. So, anything from Europe, Africa, Asia, Baltics etc.
Topics could be art, environment / nature, culture, sustainability, mythology, degrowth, decolonisation, cooperative businesses, music and entertainment, local news, books and literature, languages (explored through English), local community and climate.
Brazillian DJ Maia tell the story of Brazillian funk from its origins in the beaches of Rio de Janeiro to the periphery of São Paulo.

Thank you!
But you wouldn’t understand most of the local languages though, I could link you some out of different countries in Africa and you wouldn’t understand anything
I’d like to listen if you don’t mind sharing some links or search terms.
That’s exactly the issue, yes. Also there’s the converging monoculture of English speakers, including my own country, Ireland. So even though English podcasts span a huge array of topics I still feel like I’m listening to the same mindset.

This dude is from Latvia and is on Putin’s shit list for popularizing a conspiracy theory that the Putin we see in public is actually a revolving series of highly trained impersonators. It’s actually kinda credible tbh.
This is great 🙏
Hm. Is this for linguistic curiosity? It seems like by “different perspectives” you are seeking political commentary. But I could recommend plenty of sources for hearing people speak English as a second language. Hell, I just found this one today: https://www.youtube.com/@InaYu2024 Seems to be a Japanese oncology pharmacist living in Canada. (Very slight accent, hard to place.)
I’m not interested in the languages themselves. Just looking for different mindsets and temperaments. By different perspectives I don’t mean different politics (although that would be a symptom) but maybe varied worldviews on life.
There’s a TED talk by Lera Boroditsky on how different cultures see the world very differently based on their language. I would ideally like to hear from the people she is talking about, especially indigenous people, but in English. https://www.ted.com/dubbing/lera_boroditsky_how_language_shapes_the_way_we_think?audio=en&language=en
But should the podcast be in English or another language?
The history of philosophy without any gaps have a secondary podcast with history of philosophy in India and history of Africana philosophy, look up for the interview episodes, they had Indian, African and carebean philosophers being interview.
Thanks 🙏

They are Iranian, Serbian and something else, if I’m not mistaken. An interesting mix.

I’ve done some and it’s not my first language.
Why won’t you answer the basic questions we ask to be able to help you, like the major information you somehow did not include in your original query? I give up
