from Talking Taiwan · host Felicia Lin

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin: "If you are listening to this episode as part of a class or institutional program, we'd love to hear from you — please tell us the country, city, and name of the university you are studying and listening from, and give us details about how this episode is being used as part of a class or an ongoing project, and email us at [email protected]." __________________________________________ I'm always interested in listening to other podcasts and to learn about Taiwan-related ones. Late last year I heard about the Bilingual aka Bailingguo (百靈果) News Podcast because there was an episode that generated some heated discussion on Forumosa.com, among English-speaking foreigners in Taiwan. Forumosa is an online discussion forum for English-speakers about Taiwan and in full disclosure, they have been a sponsor of Talking Taiwan. I was wondering what all the controversy was about so I spoke to my friend Cindy about it and this led to a discussion about how foreigners are viewed in Taiwan and oddly enough the discrimination that overseas Taiwanese sometimes experience in Taiwan. Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: One of the most popular podcasts in Taiwan the 百靈果(Bilingual) News Podcast How an episode of the 百靈果(Bailingguo) News Podcast generated a lot of discussion amongst the English-speaking expat community in an online discussion forum on Forumosa.com What the discussion on Forumosa.com was about If the slang term lao wai (老外) that refers to foreigners in Taiwan is insulting What makes the 百靈果(Bailingguo) News Podcast so controversial How people have compared the style of the hosts of the 百靈果(Bilingual) News Podcast to Joe Rogan and Howard Stern Why the English-speaking expat community on Forumosa.com were upset by the episode People's opinions of the 百靈果(Bailingguo) News Podcast The discrimination that foreigners experience in Taiwan The discrimination that some overseas Taiwanese experience in Taiwan Related Links: To view all related links for this article, click link below: https://talkingtaiwan.com/bilingual-podcast-discrimination-that-overseas-taiwanese-experience-in-taiwan-talking-with-cindy-wu-ep-166/
