Episode 268 - Continental Drifter (ft. Kathy MacLeod)

  • サマリー

  • What do you do when you feel stuck between two worlds?

    How do you navigate the spaces you're in, when you're both part of and separate from, two worlds?

    This is the situation Kathy finds herself in at the beginning of the book 'Continental Drifter'.

    In this episode of the podcast, Joe sits down with author/illustrator Kathy MacLeod to discuss her autobiographical graphic novel about her time growing up in both Thailand and Maine.

    Joe and Kathy get into a lovely conversation about navigating spaces and places while growing up to find one's one place in this world.

    Enjoy!

    About 'Continental Drifter'

    With a Thai mother and an American father, Kathy lives in two different worlds. She spends most of the year in Bangkok, where she’s secretly counting the days till summer vacation. That’s when her family travels for twenty-four hours straight to finally arrive in a tiny seaside town in Maine.

    Kathy loves Maine’s idyllic beauty and all the exotic delicacies she can’t get back home, like clam chowder and blueberry pie. But no matter how hard she tries, she struggles to fit in. She doesn’t look like the other kids in this rural New England town. Kathy just wants to find a place where she truly belongs, but she’s not sure if it’s in America, Thailand . . . or anywhere.
