“As someone who is half Filipino and has been super disconnected from the culture their whole life, this podcast is amazing. My mom made it a point to keep me separated from it no matter how much I begged, so to finally hear stories and history through this podcast? Beautiful.”

“LDR has A LOT of heart. It’s so well produced that I often get swept up in the story and just flow seamlessly through until the end. As a FilAm that grew up in a predominately white community with a white mom and Filipino dad I always felt like my identity and connection to my culture never...”Read full review »

“Paola Mardo is a tour de force. The production quality and editing is top notch. You can tell it’s not her first rodeo. I so appreciate all the love, care, and brutal honesty that goes into this show. We must decolonize our history and self-excavate in love in order to remember who we were and are.”
