At least, it doesn't have to. Hosts Katy Sewall and Tiffany Parks explore the challenges and joys of moving abroad and moving home. Whether you're living overseas, or not — or not yet — join us weekly for unadulterated conversation. Get to know Rome. Laugh at our embarrassments and insights. Most of all, imagine the possibilities for your own life (and meet some famous authors along the way). ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-bittersweet-life-1089562 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562.md ## Episodes - [The Bittersweet Past: Answering Listener Questions](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/the-bittersweet-past-answering-listener-questions) — 2026-07-31T07:01:00+00:00 - [Episode 639: How Constraints Make Us Better (with David Epstein)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/episode-639-how-constraints-make-us-better-with-david-epstein) — 2026-07-27T07:01:00+00:00 - [The Bittersweet Past: Contronyms—Do They Mean what You Think They Mean?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/the-bittersweet-past-contronyms-do-they-mean-what-you-think-they-mean) — 2026-07-24T07:01:00+00:00 - [Episode 638: Reverse Culture Shock: New York Edition](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/episode-638-reverse-culture-shock-new-york-edition) — 2026-07-20T07:01:00+00:00 - [The Bittersweet Past: The Listening Planet (with Martyn Stewart)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/the-bittersweet-past-the-listening-planet-with-martyn-stewart) — 2026-07-17T07:01:00+00:00 - [Episode 637: A Musical Immigration Story (with Felipe Salles)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/episode-637-a-musical-immigration-story-with-felipe-salles) — 2026-07-13T07:01:00+00:00 - [The Bittersweet Past: The Friend, the Bread, and the Knife](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/the-bittersweet-past-the-friend-the-bread-and-the-knife) — 2026-07-10T07:01:00+00:00 - [Episode 636: How to Live Abroad Part-time (with Laurel Attanasio)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/episode-636-how-to-live-abroad-part-time-with-laurel-attanasio) — 2026-07-06T07:01:00+00:00 - [The Bittersweet Past: Resilience, Curisotiy, and a Very Important Pig (with Robert Fulghum)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/the-bittersweet-past-resilience-curisotiy-and-a-very-important-pig-with-robert-fulghum) — 2026-07-03T07:01:00+00:00 - [Episode 635 Dana's Koalas: An Update on Katy's Sister](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/episode-635-dana-s-koalas-an-update-on-katy-s-sister) — 2026-06-29T07:01:00+00:00 - [Bittersweet Past: Solo Travel—Is It for You?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/bittersweet-past-solo-travel-is-it-for-you) — 2026-06-26T07:01:00+00:00 - [Bittersweet Moment #246: Bittersweet Endings (with Aurelio)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/bittersweet-moment-246-bittersweet-endings-with-aurelio) — 2026-06-24T07:01:00+00:00 - [Episode 634: Beginnings and Endings (Elementary School Edition)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/episode-634-beginnings-and-endings-elementary-school-edition) — 2026-06-22T07:01:00+00:00 - [The Bittersweet Past: Objects to Love, Objects to Loathe [LIVE EPISODE]](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/the-bittersweet-past-objects-to-love-objects-to-loathe-live-episode) — 2026-06-19T16:01:00+00:00 - [Bittersweet Peek: A Notable Anniversary](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/bittersweet-peek-a-notable-anniversary) — 2026-06-17T16:01:00+00:00 - [Episode 633: The Rise of Traveling Sheep](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/episode-633-the-rise-of-traveling-sheep) — 2026-06-15T16:01:00+00:00 - [The Bittersweet Past: Black Cake (with Charmaine Wilkerson)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/the-bittersweet-past-black-cake-with-charmaine-wilkerson) — 2026-06-12T07:01:00+00:00 - [Episode 632 (Part 2): Can what You Like in Seattle Inform what You Like in Rome?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bittersweet-life-1089562/episode-632-part-2-can-what-you-like-in-seattle-inform-what-you-like-in-rome) — 2026-06-10T07:01:00+00:00 - [Episode 632: Can what You Like in Seattle Inform what You Like in Rome?
