Cultural Contours pulls back the curtain on what really happens when two worlds collide. Hosted by desi-pop-country singer & content creator Sarah Wickett and her Punjabi fiancé Jay Rajpal, this podcast dives deep into navigating Canadian & Indian cultures, fusion music, and controversial conversations about cultural taboos where nothing is off limits. Each episode is divided into three segments: (1) Cultural Contours; (2) Musical Contours; and (3) Cultural Confessions. Think: identity crises fueled by love; Diljit Dosanjh meets Luke Bryan; and confessions about long-standing cultural expectations. Got your own story about cultures colliding?
