Enculturation Podcast aims to spark curiosity through conversation and insights from different cultures around the world in the most fun, authentic and engaging manner. We're meant to be together, not apart. My name is Vinh Nguyen and I'm a technical creative. I've had over 15 years of diverse experiences in the House Dance/Music culture. I've also been gifted with many stories and perspectives from an indigenous anthropologist polyglot. Both these experiences made me believe that people can come together beautifully and coexist. This is my mission to share these experiences.
