S1E43: On Patty Hou, her mother and mistresses: #PopVultures Ep 43

#PopVultures Ep 43: On Patty Hou, her mother and mistresses 18:41 minsSynopsis: The Straits Times examines the ins and outs of pop culture in the Asian entertainment and Hollywood scene. In this episode, the #PopVultures look to Taiwan, where television host Patty Hou and her mother, veteran actress Lin Yue Yun, have come under fire after crying on the reality show My Dearest Ladies. Jan and Sam Jo give a too long; didn't read rundown of Lin's checkered past as a mistress (not once, but twice) and unpack why netizens are upset with the mother and daughter - from the duo being paid to be on the show, to them seemingly glorifying extramarital affairs. They also discuss sexist double-standards when it comes to adultery, and wonder if some of the vitriol ought to be directed at the cheating husbands instead. Here's a peek at what they cover: Lin Yue Yun's extramarital affairs (2:02) Backlash over My Dearest Ladies (6:27) Sexist views on adultery (10:46) (15:46) Patty Hou's "collapsed" public persona (人设) (14:25) A special shoutout to loyal listeners (17:20) Produced by: Jan Lee ([email protected]), Yeo Sam Jo ([email protected]) & Penelope Lee Edited by: Penelope Lee Follow #PopVultures Podcast episodes here every month:  Channel: https://str.sg/JWad Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWaA Spotify: https://str.sg/JWaP  Google Podcasts: https://str.sg/Ju47  SPH Awedio app: https://www.awedio.sg/ Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: [email protected] Follow Jan Lee on Instagram: https://str.sg/Jbxc Read Jan Lee's stories: https://str.sg/Jbxp --- Discover ST's special edition podcasts: Singapore's War On Covid: https://str.sg/wuJa The Unsolved Mysteries of South-east Asia: https://str.sg/wuZ2 Stop Scams: https://str.sg/wuZB Invisible Asia: https://str.sg/wuZn --- Discover more ST podcast series: Asian Insider: https://str.sg/JWa7 Green Pulse: https://str.sg/JWaf Health Check: https://str.sg/JWaN In Your Opinion: https://str.sg/w7Qt Your Money & Career: https://str.sg/wB2m ST Sports Talk: https://str.sg/JWRE Bookmark This!: https://str.sg/JWas Lunch With Sumiko: https://str.sg/J6hQ Discover ST Podcasts: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Discover BT Podcasts: https://bt.sg/pcPL Follow our shows then, if you like short, practical podcasts! #PVSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
