    How many years do you consider a huge age gap? Would you date anyone who is a lot older or younger than you are? In this episode of Borderscapes, we explore what it feels like to love someone from a different generation, and a different world. Age-gap relationships are rarely talked about honestly. The assumptions are loud, but the real stories are quieter — and more complicated. Growing up gay in West Germany looks nothing like growing up gay in Taiwan. So what happens when those two timelines meet? Sonny's boyfriend joins the episode to share his own side of the story. And another couple — Ted, from Taiwan, and Alexander, from Colombia bring their own cross-cultural, cross-generational gap, two continents, and one unforgettable story about soap. Are these borders something to cross, or something you learn to live inside? And how huge is the gap really? Listen to find out!

  • Invisible Borders

    Invisible Borders

    Is disconnecting still an option? Being connected is no longer something we think about; it's just something we do, all the time. In this episode, we explore the shift from the internet's early promise to today's constant demand for our attention. We hear from four people as they navigate the struggle to manage screen time, social media, and the quiet pressure to always stay connected. Drawing on these stories alongside her own, Suzanne N'Gouandi reflects on the subtle ways our phones affect how we interact with people around us, and why it is so difficult to step away, even when we want to. We also hear from Luke, whose relationship with digital media affected his mental well-being, eventually leading him to become a digital minimalist. This episode is an invitation to pause, reconsider your time spent online, and reflect on what it truly means to disconnect in an always-connected world. ---------------- Want to learn Luke's story further ?

  • The Intimate Cost of Academic Mobility

    The Intimate Cost of Academic Mobility
    2026/05/05

    Tony left his pregnant wife behind. Peter left, just one year into marriage. Alex left again, immediately after returning from another global opportunity. And Sylviah left, leaving behind her family, including her 10-month-old baby, to study abroad. Beyond scholarships and career prospects lies a quieter story of separation, emotional strain, and personal sacrifice. What does it really cost married students to pursue education across borders?

    Through reflective storytelling and critical insight, they share their stories in this episode. They navigate the invisible border of academic mobility that forces married students to choose between opportunity and their families when they cannot travel with them. Academic mobility is revealed not just as an opportunity, but as a deeply human experience marked by tension and resilience.

    Join Sylviah Chisi, Producer and Presenter of this episode, as she highlights the need to rethink the narrative of success tied to studying abroad and to consider the emotional and social dimensions often left unspoken.
