S03E04 - Beyond Cheap & Cheerful: How We’re Selling Asian Cuisine Short
Explicit content warning
12/16/20 • 45 min
When we think of what good Asian food is, quite a specific image comes to mind. Perhaps a place that is poorly decorated, or where the wait staff just want you to order and get out, or a place with 100 (or more) items on the menu. Or maybe it’s a hole in the wall joint that’s a bit “dirty” but oh, so good. And when it comes to fancier Asian restaurants? Well, apart from Japanese food, we often think, man, I could get that cheaper from elsewhere. Where has this perception of “cheap” Asian food come from? And what will it take for us to change this?

S03E03 - Small Bowls, Big Plates
Food is so much a part of our lives, and even more so for many Asians. Some are the biggest foodies out there, and although a love for food isn’t uniquely Asian, there are definitely elements of the culture around food, and the way some Asians eat that are pretty unique. This episode is not a cooking show, rather, we explore what is different in the way Chinese cultures, in particular, eat.

S03E05 - Remixing Identity
It’s often talked about how mixed race people are the race of the future. The numbers of mixed race people are growing as our world becomes more globalised, and today I want to explore how their experience can be quite different because they’re mixed race. So what influences how they encounter race? And how does our views of them impact their identity and experience?
