Your culture shapes everything - yes, everything - about who you are and what you do. So how, exactly, is your culture showing? And when should you let it shine or let it, well, not?
World cultures expert Dean Foster (www.deanfosterglobal.com) and longtime friend Tom Peterson search for, and occasionally find, answers to these questions as they explore different world cultures in each episode. Along the way, Dean and Tom revel in the glories of the Japanese toilet, sip strong coffee with friends in Ethiopia, yearn for finely-crafted Argentinian pink underwear - and much more!

After recently exploring what certain words and phrases say about culture, we thought it time to re-explore what other certain phrases - idioms - say about - yes - culture! With that, enjoy this special reissue of our 47th episode, "Idiots Talking Idioms", from March 2024. (And don't forget: Dean’s newest book, "Business Beyond Borders: Stories, Tales, and Lessons Learned from Working in 100 Cultures Around the World”, will be released Nov. 4th in hardcover and Nov. 6th in Kindle and audiobook. Pre-order it today!)
Dean and Tom have truly “fallen down the rabbit hole” in this episode as they explore different idioms across cultures, offering context as well as advice on what to do when faced with unknown idioms on your travels. (A preview: An idiom in another country may feel like it “comes out of left field,” but give yourself some grace - you’re not an ‘idiom idiot’!) We know that you’ll enjoy listening to this idiotic idiomatic episode “as soon as possible” (when is this? that’s up to you!) because you’re all “pieces of bread”, “salt of the earth”, and other figurative fundamental foodstuffs!
