“Stumbled upon this after hearing the Pho episode on NPR. As an Asian-American, the bicultural perspective is one that reasonates strongly. Excellent production and well-crafted. Not sure when or if a second season is due, but happy to wait patiently. I highly recommend this podcast!”

“Really gets to the heart of the immigrant experience. I recall my own elder family members and their experiences with the ties (and efforts to assist) their Easter European relatives. This podcast shows both the particular and the universal aspects of life for immigrants to our country.”

“But also very worthwhile for any immigrants, children of immigrants, or anyone curious about the immigrant experince and how weird it can be.
