《JW 1.5 Generation Podcast》 是一個屬於「1.5 代移民」的真實對話空間。
我們是一群在亞洲文化與美國成長背景之間長大的朋友,分享那些只有在兩個世界之間生活過,才真正懂的故事。
從在美國求學的成長經驗、台灣與美國文化的差異,到家庭期待、友情、感情、職涯選擇與人生轉折點,我們用最真實、最不修飾的方式,聊那些笑過、尷尬過、後悔過,也逐漸釋懷的片段。
這不是說教,也不是成功學。
而是幾個老朋友坐下來,誠實回顧過去、理解現在,並試著給未來一點方向。
如果你曾經在「家裡的期待」與「自己的選擇」之間掙扎;
如果你同時懂中文與英文,卻有時不知道自己屬於哪裡;
如果你正在人生的某個階段,回頭看,卻也往前走——
那麼,這裡就是你的地方。
🎙️ JW 1.5 Generation Podcast
關於文化、人生、選擇,以及那些介於兩個世界之間的故事。
JW 1.5 Generation Podcast is a candid, heartfelt conversation among friends who grew up between cultures.
As 1.5-generation Asian Americans, we share real stories shaped by living between Asian family values and American society. From school experiences and cultural differences between the U.S. and Taiwan, to family expectations, friendships, relationships, career choices, and life-defining moments—we talk about the things that stay with you long after you’ve grown up.
This podcast isn’t about preaching or life hacks.
It’s about honest conversations, personal reflections, laughter, awkward memories, and the lessons that only make sense with time.
We look back on who we were, question the choices we made, and talk openly about who we’re still becoming.
If you’ve ever felt caught between cultures,
if you’ve balanced family expectations with personal dreams,
or if you’re at a stage in life where reflection matters just as much as ambition—
JW 1.5 Generation Podcast is a space where those stories belong.
🎙️ Real conversations.
🌏 Two cultures.
🧠 One generation, still figuring it out.
在 S2 EP8 中,Jeff、William 和 Kevin 聊到一個很多人不想面對、卻可能在人生某個階段遇到的現實話題:失業。三人從各自的工作經驗出發,分享公司裁員、主管如何做去留決定、以及面對員工離職時的複雜心情。Kevin 也深入分享自己在美國大公司被 layoff 的親身經歷,從被叫進辦公室、看到 HR 的那一刻,到後來申請失業補助、食物券,以及重新找工作的過程。這一集不只是聊制度,更聊到中年男人把工作當成人生重心後,突然停下來時的迷惘、焦慮與自我調整。整集有職場現實、有制度資訊,也有 JW 1.5 Generation 一貫的幽默與真實。
In S2 EP8, Jeff, William, and Kevin talk about a difficult but very real topic: unemployment. Drawing from their own experiences, they discuss workplace layoffs, how managers decide who stays and who goes, and the emotional weight of letting people go. Kevin also shares his personal story of being laid off from a major U.S. company, from the moment he was called into the office and saw HR in the room, to applying for unemployment benefits, receiving food assistance, and trying to rebuild during the months that followed. This episode goes beyond policies and benefits. It also explores how, for many middle-aged men, work becomes a major part of identity, and how unsettling it feels when that structure suddenly disappears. The conversation is honest, insightful, and balanced with the humor that defines JW 1.5 Generation.
