Fo & Lou | …on outrage, the myth of race, and good PR

04/25/21 • 26 min

In this final episode of Season 2, Louisa and The Fantastic Fo ask the question of what is next, for our hosts, the black community, and the quest to destroy the single narrative.
After a quick recap of the most memorable moments of the season, Lou gets Fo in the guest's seat to share what he has learned over the season and the past year. Having started the podcast during the height of the BLM movement, Lou and Fo discuss where we are now, and how we must continue to counter the negative myths of race with informative, inspirational and entertaining stories.

Juanita | ...on being a lawyer, actor and trailing wolf

In a very special episode this week Louisa and the Fantastic Fo speak to Juanita Ingram, an attorney, author and star of the TV show, The Expats International Ingrams.
In a change from our usual list of Hong Kong-based guests, Juanita has been living in Taipei, Taiwan for two years, and gives us an insight into life in the city.
We talk first impressions in and of Taiwan, the power of a trailing spouse and the realities of race relations and prejudice in Taiwan compared to the UK and US.
Join us for this thought-provoking but often-hilarious chat...we bet you've never heard a more memorable pronunciation of "Ascot"!
