Did your family use the dishwasher growing up? Samantha Lui and Alisha talk about why using the kitchen appliance feels like “a treat.”

Al’s visit to Chinatown’s “living room,” involves mahjong, red date tea, a renoviction, and a chat with Hannia Cheng about the art of unravelling.

When the pandemic hits, Alisha’s grandmother finds her groove; her brother and mother reflect on intergenerational differences; and our host breathes, as deep as she can.

Ahead of season three, our podcast reanimates with a Halloween special! In this spooktacular episode: Al digs into Filipino folklore with fellow podcaster Motzie Dapul and cartoonist Jason Loo shares what it's like to live in an intergenerational house ... that's also haunted.

Al and Alisha return for a sex-themed special with guest Anasimone George, recorded live in November for Hot Docs Podcast Festival's "Sounds of the Six."

The podcast ends its six-part series with stories reflecting on love, immigration, and loss: a bus route heads towards a timeless romance, the pain of distance after coming out, and how a mother’s holiday cheer lives on.

A mom gives us an earful on bonding, the team digs deep into a forgotten Polish lullaby, and a baby heals family rifts.

The hosts struggle with whether they really love themselves. Josephine grapples with the idea that “Africans don’t get depressed.” Without having roots in culture or place, Kamini copes by drinking— until they’re forced to reckon with their addiction.

Love stories from Canada’s version of Ellis Island. An Ontario steelmill worker writes a letter, postmarked to Italy and in hopes of finding his one true love. Alisha shares the story of her parents’ long-distance, personal-ad fuelled courtship. A war bride crosses the Atlantic to reunite with her soldier husband and live on his nation’s reserve.

Tony makes some R-rated discoveries on the family computer, a sex therapist shares what really happens behind closed immigrant-family doors, and Mari debunks a virginity myth for their mom.
