Welcome to the first ever intercultural podcast. 'absolutely intercultural!' is its name and, as far as we know, this is the first podcast in the world to deal with intercultural issues. We'll be releasing a new episode every second Friday evening, looking at all intercultural aspects of human intercultural communication. For example, we'll be hearing from students on foreign work placements, asking how teachers can make use of intercultural exercises and simulations in their classroom and sharing with you any intercultural gossip we come across. 'absolutely intercultural!' won't be so much about passing on information but more about starting an intercultural dialogue between the makers, and you, the contributors and listeners.

I laughed on seeing this!  Re Intercultural Communication.  It's "almost" right for the first picture but not quite!  That's the thing with thinking we're fey with a culture if we've only just touched the surface.  Based on the first image and the reference to an Australian rude gesture that's "not quite accurate", my hunch is the others aren't either.  A thing from the interwebs not to be trusted.
