Tell Me About Your Nickname

07/25/18 • 0 min

I'd like to produce an episode about nicknames! You can do that by either recording a voice memo and emailing it [email protected], or you can call me and leave a voicemail, at (971) 800-1389.

Tell me your formal name, where you're calling from, your nickname, and how you got that nickname. Bonus points for any other stories about your nickname that have stuck with you over the years.

Voicemails: What Filipino Food Means

Does this count as a bonus episode? This is a re-airing of a short episode I produced a while back for Racist Sandwich, a podcast about food, race, class, and gender.

I promise this show won't be just about food, but I'd to give you all an idea of what kinds of formats I'm interested in. Yes, you'll hear one-on-one interviews, but I'd also love to experiment with your stories and your voices. This is fairly short, but making this episode was special to me.

A Culture Of "Yes" (with Natalia Roxas)

On this episode, we're joined by Natalia Roxas. She's a photographer, co-founder of Filipino Kitchen, and the organizer of this year's Kultura Festival, which takes place on August 19 in Chicago.

We talk about what it was like to grow up at a resort in the forest, moving to the U.S. as a teenager, starting Kultura four years ago, and whether she'd ever consider moving back to the Philippines someday.

Music by RV Mendoza and Blue Dot Sessions. Logo by Niccolo Pizarro. If you're in Chicago, get your Kultura tickets here.
