Abstract

Podcasts have gained immense popularity, especially since 2014 with the emergence of the narrative format. This research focuses on the podcast "Close the Door" by Deddy Corbuzier which examines the use of code mixing in a multilingual and multicultural context. Podcasts offer convenient on-demand entertainment and adapt to a variety of listening situations. Their intimate nature fosters listener engagement and loyalty. Additionally, podcasts reflect a variety of languages ​​and cultures, so they have the potential to use code mixing to celebrate that diversity. This research investigates the types and functions of code mixing in “Close the Door”, aiming to understand how military background influences the use of the host language. This research uses qualitative methods to analyze code mixing incidents in podcasts. The choice of “Close the Door” came from its credibility, quality and variety of guest stars. This research contributes to the understanding of code mixing in podcasts, particularly by individuals with military backgrounds. This book explores how language choices bridge cultures and create inclusive listening experiences in multilingual environments.
