    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.

  6. Voicemails: What Filipino Food Means

    25/07/2018

    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. Music by Blue Dot Sessions.

    It's Beautiful To Be Us (with Sarahlynn Pablo)

    On Balikbayan's first(!) episode, we're joined by Sarahlynn Pablo, a writer and poet in Chicago who co-founded Filipino Kitchen and ran a Filipino food and arts festival in Chicago called Kultura for four years. We talk about growing up between the Chicago suburbs and the Philippines, what it was like to start Filipino Kitchen, whether Filipino food really is unhealthy, and how a blog comment on her lugaw changed her life. Then, we go through a "Filipino Lightning Round" where we hash out critically important topics like karaoke, ube, and how good her Tagalog is. Music by RV Mendoza and Blue Dot Sessions.

  8. A Podcast For Fil-Ams, Coming July 24

    14/07/2018

    A Podcast For Fil-Ams, Coming July 24

    Whenever I meet another Filipino in the US, I kind of want to know their entire life story. It's probably because I'm almost always the only Pinoy in the room. I don't think I know enough about my fellow Filipino-Americans, even though there are more than 3.5 million of us here. That's where this show comes in. Balikbayan is a podcast where you'll hear conversations and stories with Fil-Ams about the things that matter to us. It'll come out every two weeks, starting July 24. I also want to hear from you. Do you have a story or guest idea? Email me at talk@balikbayanshow.com, and follow the show on Twitter @balikbayanshow. Music by RV Mendoza. Logo by Niccolo Pizarro.
