The Spark Podcast - 节目列表

Every great story starts at the beginning. Now that The Spark is almost four years old, Meg and Amy wanted to take a look back on how it all started. They reflect on their first two episodes and from it emerges a the topic of growth. Amy shares how she’s learned to less-critical of herself and Meg shares how she’s learned to become more herself and less self-conscious. Taylor Swift and Jay-Z (not Dr. Dre) lyrics are quoted along the way. If you’re reading this in your inbox or on Substack, yay!

然这并不是火花电台第一次采访楼佳凯，但这是我们第一次用中文与佳凯对话。佳凯是怎样从一个中国留学生，成长为一位拎着相机设备，义无反顾地深入丛林，牧场，和高山的纪录者？除了腾讯纪录片里收纳的情节，《一次远行》镜头后到底还发生了什么故事？在异国他乡学习生活多年后，如今，佳凯终于回到了老家义乌。他最近在忙什么？生活如何？ 摘下相机的佳凯，是一个什么样的人？希望通过这集，我们都可以更加了解我们的老朋友，故事叙述人，纪录片摄影人楼佳凯。 你可能已经听说过，或者看过腾讯视频的最新纪录片系列《一次远行》。《一次远行》记录了五名中国留学生在疫情期间，人在他乡求学生活的故事。纪录片的最后一集的主角是火花电台采访过的前嘉宾——自由纪录片摄影人楼佳凯。当我们第一次采访佳凯的时候，他人还在美国蒙大拿州的米苏拉。那时的他在人生岔路口徘徊，面临着到底回国，还是继续留在美国工作生活的艰难抉择。如果你看了那集纪录片，那么你一定知道佳凯最终选择了回国发展。《一次远行》的最后镜头定格在了他登机的那一瞬间。但是飞机降落后，发生了什么？在一张单程票的行程结束后，佳凯再次和火花电台隔空重逢。这回，我们用中英双语，畅谈了佳凯在离家多年后，终于回到梦开始的地方的种种经历和感受。 感谢聆听我们的最新单集。我们非常希望你也能加入我们的对话。我们也非常希望你能在更个平台上为我们的播客留言和打分！ 你也可以通过以下平台和我们直接交流： * Instagram: @spark_podcast * Facebook: @thesparkpodcastwithmegandamy * 微信公众号：TheSparkPodcast * 或给我们写邮件： [email protected] You may have seen the recent Tencent Documentary Series, Bon Voyage, that follows five Chinese students living abroad during the pandemic.

Jiakai came back to the Spark to share what life has been like after his plane landed in this two-part conversation (in both English and Mandarin) that you won’t want to miss.

Amy and Meg are back with a brand new episode of The Spark in the New Year, kicking things off how it all began - in conversation, just the two of them. As they embrace the Year of the Tiger wholeheartedly, Chinese New Year brings the concept of home to mind.

They also reflect on how far they’ve come since their very first episode and look ahead to what’s next. Thank you so much for listening! We’d love for you to join in on the conversation!

In this episode, Amy and Meg sit down for one final conversation of The Spark’s Motherhood Series which organically stemmed from a single episode and turned into a beautiful, sensitive, and powerful series featuring three inspiring mothers. For Amy and Meg, it only felt fitting that the last guests of the series were the mothers they’ve been in conversation with since day one - their own. 在这集中，Amy 和 Meg 以回顾她们自己和妈妈的对话的方式结束了火花电台的母亲系列。这个“系列”最早从一个单集孕育而生。在采访了三位有故事的妈妈后，原本的 “单集” 演变成了一个美丽，敏感，但又充满力量的系列。Meg和Amy在进行了三轮采访后一致认为，没有比她们自己的妈妈更适合做最后一集特殊嘉宾的人选了。 This is a public episode.

Dr. Wednesday Martin is a social scientist, storyteller, and #1 New York Times Bestselling Author. Her book, Primates of Park Avenue (translated into “I Am a Mother, I Need the Hermes Birkin Bag” in Chinese), stirred up a heated debate across oceans and sparked an greater awareness around “exhausted motherhood” and the scarcity mindset that runs rampant through circles of affluent mothers across the world. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Martin to demystify the social structures that stand tall around upper class societies and identify the common threads that connect all mothers - Birkin Bag or not. 韦内斯迪·马丁博士是一位社会学家，故事叙述者，以及纽约时报排名第一的畅销书作者。她的著作《我是个妈妈，我需要铂金包》（英文翻译为《回忆录：公园大道上的母猩猩》）描述了她作为一个“新人”在纽约上东区的妈妈圈“打怪升级”的过程。这本书触发了社会各界对“鸡娃”现象，和普遍存在于中产，甚至中上产阶级女性间的稀缺性心态的激烈讨论。在这集中，火花电台和马丁博士一同解密社会结构是如何造就了女性日益激增的焦虑感，以及真正让女性之间产生共鸣的东西——当然，这个东西不仅仅是爱马仕的铂金包。 This is a public episode.
