InBetween - An anecdotal audio collage InBetween is an audio experiment somewhere between Zürich, Switzerland and Delhi, India. It is a personal podcast documenting my life between Zürich and Delhi in colorful audio collages narrating the little stories, events and thoughts I encounter in between. It is an anthropological podcast documenting my PhD project from the initial search for a topic, through the field research up to the writing process. It aims to render anthropological thought and work more accessible (and understandable) to listeners with or without academic background. It tries to illustrate transparently the joys, struggles and insecurities of research – components of academic work that all too often are left unmentioned in the polished books and smooth articles produced. It is a social podcast featuring conversations about the phenomenon of “feeling in between” by different people permitting insight into their lives and thoughts. In short, inBetween is a love story between one person, two continents, everything in between and the medium audio, told anecdote by anecdote. Episodes are available in German and English.
