The Maggie Pilloton Podcast

Happy one-year anniversary, folx! That's right! It's officially been a year (-ish) since I started The Maggie Pilloton Podcast, and in true Pilloton fashion, that means it's time to celebrate!!! But first, I speak about the infuriating hate crimes directed at the AAPI community that we've seen recently, and I discuss my multiracial identity and my AAPI pride. Then, I recap some of my favorite podcast episodes so far, give you some behind-the-scenes information, and I share some exciting news from my personal life!

Hello everyone! After a couple months away from the podcast, I'm back! For this episode, I decided to combine my usual Maggie Pilloton-type discussion style with some analysis of readings I've done in graduate school. But don't worry! It's an informative but fun episode! I take a deeper dive into active allyship and what that actually means. I also discuss using theatrical learning concepts and how that can apply to teaching practices, in addition to looking at active allyship from an ecological justice standpoint. This episode has it all! If you like this episode, please share it with your friends and follow/subscribe!

Next up in our identity series is....RACE! Yay!!! In this episode, I share what terms I use to describe my racial identity, what my "nests" and "cages" are, and why being a hapa, to me, feels like being snuggled up in a warm, cozy blanket. I also answer a "Yo Mags!" question about Ike's Sandwiches. If you like this episode, please share it with your friends and follow/subscribe!
