Second Wave

Being a Jordanian/Palestinian in the diaspora I relate to many of the experiences shared in this podcast. Longing for home and one’s culture is a central connection. I have thought a lot about moving back to Jordan, and it is similar to Viet Nam in the way that you can easily get in trouble with the government. I too need to find my purpose in relocating. It’s beyond important that we have solidarity across cultures, especially when our experiences overlap. Overall, this podcast was amazing at providing nuance, historical context and most importantly respectfully provided different perspective and opinions.

It was important to hear this American story, and I related to it as an immigrant, myself. Thank you.

Stumbled upon this after hearing the Pho episode on NPR. As an Asian-American, the bicultural perspective is one that reasonates strongly. Excellent production and well-crafted. Not sure when or if a second season is due, but happy to wait patiently. I highly recommend this podcast!

Update: Still Waiting for more content from Thanh, every few months I go back and listen to season one. I like that Thanh brings up topics that all of us Vietnamese American living in America faces through the decades since the Vietnam War. What I love about this podcast is Thanh. Her presentation and delivery of her ideas through the format of this show is fantastic. Here’s to hoping for plenty of future episodes to come.
