This episode explores how international audiences engage with American media and how it shapes their perceptions of the U.S. Through perspectives from students in Germany and the Czech Republic, the discussion covers the appeal of American movies, TV, music, and social media, as well as how accurately they reflect reality. The guests compare American media’s portrayal of diversity to that of their home countries and discuss its influence on cultural trends abroad. They also highlight aspects that feel exaggerated or foreign, moments of connection with American characters, and differences in how social media is used across borders. This aims to gauge the perception of media in the US from an international audience's perspective.
Guests: Sebastian Lunak and Louis Dramm
