About this listen

A blend of Asian Culture and the life in Berlin - ”Bedtime stories for grown-ups.” Join Sponge Cake, a Hongkonger living with her talkative cat in the heart of Berlin. You’ll hear the adventures of a Cantonese speaker in a foreign land, navigating constant culture shocks and the challenges of growing up in a grassroots environment. No sugar-coating here – just real talk, hilarious rants, unpopular opinions and some seriously dangerous stories that might affect her social credit. But it’s not all serious business. Her hypersensitivity has led her to discover some life hacks that beat the 5-minute crafts she binged (and secretly has a love-hate relationship with). If you have problems falling asleep, this is perfect for you. You can reach me at sponge.cake.049@gmail.comCopyright 2023 All rights reserved. Social Sciences

    /ᐠ。ꞈ。ᐟ\ Playlist: https://spoti.fi/3zE54VD On September 14th, I hosted a live podcast recording, "Berlin Midday Meows," in Moabit, Berlin.

Don’t worry, no idols were harmed in this episode. Tune in to get immersed in the stories behind these genres!

  • Keyboard Warrior For Life
    Aug 24 2024

    I've been a keyboard warrior my whole life, ever since I got my hands on the internet. As a late millennial born in the 90s, I navigated through various weeb forums and became an active (and sometimes toxic) member of online communities. You'll also get the backstory on how I developed such an eclectic taste in music, which is a big reason why I'm including an Asian music deep dive in my upcoming live podcast event. Get ready for some internet nostalgia and a journey through my wide-ranging hobbies!
