“…or at the house of a childhood friend. This podcast truly captures what it’s like to be a Filipino American who’s knowledgeable, concerned, and interested in their community while also reserving the space necessary to bust their own and each other’s chops. Salamat for presenting a vibrant range...”Read full review »

“Love the show but a couple of the hosts are constantly using the word “like”, peppered on every sentence. There were times I had to stop listening, even when your topic &/or guests are super interesting, because of how much you like using “like”. And now I’m about to do the same thing. (Ugh)”

“My favorite is the PCN episode because it got me thinking about things I never would have, like if Fil-Ams doing cultural dances were cultural appropriation, and how there once was a time where the dances were the focal point and the skits were shoehorned in. PCNs are something I’ve become...”Read full review »
