American Writing Awards’ 2026 Podcast of the Year Award Winner

What was it like for a Colombian lawyer growing up in a small town and then immigrating to the U.S.?  How did a Jewish New Yorker put her kids in Jewish school and why?  What was it like to have three weddings as a Bengali American?  

These are the kinds of personal interviews on Cultureful.  Living, breathing, everyday you and me culture.  It's a kind of traveling and getting past the surface.  People from around the world sharing personal experiences in their own words.  

Host Jess Lin (she, her), is a multilingual Taiwanese American who has spent many years abroad, off the beaten-path.  On Cultureful, she interviews friends and other guests about major life events and stages like childhood, dating, weddings, parenting, and immigration journeys.  She is also curious about the everyday- what people cook, what they do for fun, what friendship is like for them.  Hope you enjoy meeting the people she connects with.
