Ausländer Sessions
Ausländer, translating to 'foreigner' in German, serves as the thematic core of this podcast. Here, I engage in enlightening conversations with a diverse array of individuals—family and friends hailing from different corners of the globe, each possessing unique backgrounds and life experiences. Ausländer Sessions seeks to unveil the authentic life narratives of seemingly ordinary, yet undeniably extraordinary, individuals. Through these compelling dialogues, the podcast illuminates the profound idea that, in our own ways, we are all foreigners navigating the intricate landscapes of our lives

Orphaned in Kazakhstan - American Actress Asel Swango
I met Asel Swango in a Manhattan restaurant a couple months ago. We started chatting and I asked her to come on the podcast. The conversation went something like this: Where are you from originally? Her: take a guess…of course I had no chance and she told me she’s originally from Kazakhstan. Very intrigued, I explained my podcast and asked her to come on. I have to give her credit, she accepted, and we stayed in touch and finally made it happen. At the time, I had no idea about her story and her journey, I only knew that she is originally from Kazakhstan, and an aspiring actress. After a quick google search the following day I found out that she was adopted as a young girl. Her story is really cool. She even asked her mom to come on and give her perspective. So this one is a bit different than previous episodes. We did it over Facetime. The audio came out ok, but it is a bit different than being in person. I have to thank Asel for making this happen and making it happen in the way it did. I had considered trying to do an episode over the phone but hadn’t tested it out. Thanks to mom Beverly for her time and input on this episode as well.
