23 - "Lite House" a special platform for Exophonic Writers - with Danae Spyrou
Send us a text Once upon a time... when I was researching for exophonic resources (right before launching the very first episode of this podcast) I came across a website that was boasting exophonic poetry and short stories. I was surprised because honestly there wasn't much for and about exophonic writers other than a bunch of articles that were all recounting the same thing. Danae Spyrou is behind Lite House, a website for Exophonics and in this episode she shares what inspired her to start ...

19 - Identity (or Are the Literary Voices of Exophonic Writers Compromised by Cultural Expectations?)
Send us a text Welcome, exophonic friends! It's almost impossible to talk about exophony without talking about Identity, since it's such a fundamental pillar for this practice. Matters of Identity emerge during the phase of choosing to become an exophonic writer as well as during the phase after one has already been writing in a second language for a while (well, duh, matters of identity govern almost everything we do, don't they?) In this episode, I'm posing a lot of qu...

Send us a text Hello friends, welcome. Omg, this novel of mine is a real challenging linguistic something! 🙀 It l includes English, Hindi and two varieties of Spanish.
