Advice for Couples in Interracial or Multicultural Relationships (from Two Half-Koreans)
Being in a healthy relationship takes a lot of work but it is rewarding. Now add onto that cultural differences, language barriers, dealing with implicit biases and physical distances - now you have a lot more to work through.
Both Cedric and Becky are mixed Korean, Black and White on their other sides, respectively, and give some advice they've learned from growing up in mixed homes, as well as the things they have learned while being with each other.

Korean Names and Their Importance
What makes Korean names special?
Though Korean names might typically only contain three syllables, or more specifically three characters, every part of the name traditionally contains significant meaning.
In this episode, we break down the three parts of a Korea name: the 성 (family name) and 이름 (given name).
We talk about the most popular and least common surnames in Korea, how some ‘Korean’ last names in the West actually don’t exist in Korea in the same way, the transformation of Korea names amongst Koryo Saram in post-Soviet Union countries, why there are Korean names used in Japan, and more.

Take a listen as Cedric and Becky talk about some positive stereotypes we've faced and how to deal with it.

What Happens When a Child is Kidnapped by Their Own Parent in Korea?
It's a long-ish title, we know, but essentially it says it all - if your Korean partner kidnaps your child and hides them in Korea, what can you do? We discuss three cases, two currently ongoing, how the Korean government is handling them and what you can do about the current cases of John Sichi and Jay Sung.

Customer Reviews
A beautiful podcast!
As a halfie myself, discovering this podcast was nothing less than a miracle. Every time I listen to Becky, Cedric, and their wonderful guests, it’s almost like a mini therapy session in my head, and I know I’ll be reflecting more about my identity and mixed-race issues. The production and quality is top-notch as well!
Wonderful podcast!
As a soon-to-be father, I find this podcast (and YouTube channel) very enlightening and helpful. Thank you for all the work you put into this podcast.
Enlightening! <3
I’m raising a half-Korean son and have no idea what I’m doing… Becky
