Broadcast on: 
20 November, 2018

Tick Tacks, a play on the acronym TCK (for Third Culture Kids), is a podcast produced by Dan Saks and The English Show. This is the serialized story of what it's like to be a Tick Tack - told in the first person by Third Culture Kids. Sam and Gwylim are the intrepid hosts of the podcast as we learn about the ABCs of TCKs. What's it like to be a kid or teenager growing up in a foreign culture, with a new language, new friends, new rules, and new opportunities? This episode is about how Tick Tacks' parents told them they were leaving, and it has tips and tricks for parents who are telling their kids about the move to another country. Listen to the podcast again here.

Catherine Matter and Susan Aeschbach of the Basel English Pantomime Group to tell us about the troupe's upcoming production of Cinderella.  The premier on Thursday, December 6 will tell the story of Cinderalla updated for 21st century audiences.  Even if you are not a theater fan, Panto is a once-a-season opportunity to enjoy something completely different - full of laughs, suspense, and audience participation.  If that's not compelling enough, proceeds from ticket sales will go to support the Starehe Girl's Centre in Nairobi, Kenya...AND if you're feeling hungry before or after the show, World Of Pasta, neighbors of the Scala theater hosting the production will be offering a 10% discount to ticket holders.
