Granny and The Romanian
Granny and The Romanian
Granny and The Romanian
When Stoc, a 20 years old Romanian, moved to Maine for university, he was matched with a host-family. That's how he met his 81 years old soon-to-be host-grandma, LC Van Savage. Together, they have started a podcast, which aims at encouraging dialogue between generations. They believe that 61 years may make people extremely different, but also very alike.
Patriotism and other discussions
This time, the Granny welcomes three more grandsons into her house. One from the Bahamas, one from Norway and a beautiful lady from Malaysia. After a tasty dinner, they jump into a conversation about patriotism. Lots of hot takes. Lots of discussions.  Make sure to listen to it!

Technology
Despite the 81 years old age gap between The Granny and The Romanian, they manage to keep a conversation about technology. Is technology a neutral tool that we can use for "the good" or can it also impact negatively our lives? Does it cause addiction? Does it influence the relationships we have with the peers around us?

Criticism
While Granny and The Romanian, were born generations apart from each other, both have seen criticism in their lifetime. What did it mean for each one of them? Can it only be positive criticism? How far can we go in addressing someone's flaw? Are we even entitled in doing that?

Prostitution
"The oldest profession on Earth". The Granny, and the Romanian college student, try their attempt at discussing prostitution. Can they go beyond the morality veil, and look at people practicing prostitution from a wider lens. Is prostitution considered labor? Should it be legalised? Can we stop the abuses against the prostitutes?

Camaraderie
Granny and The Romanian try to understand the meaning of camaraderie, while fighting with its pronunciation. What does it mean? Is it still prevalent around us? Is it something impossible to achieve, or does it exist in relationship to other concepts?

Love
Both Granny and The Romanian are in love, but what does this mean? Do people across generations love differently or is the feeling still the same? Has anything changed since The Granny said for the first time ”I love you”? Sorry for the bad quality. This was recorded on a mac.
