The British Asian - Other Podcast

Tyler Loh (he/him) joins me for a conversation about growing up between cultures. From his experience of military service in Singapore to what it really means to be a third culture kid. We get into code switching, the meaning behind labels in the East and the West, and yes... running out of rice.

Saarah Hafiji (she/her) grew up in Dubai and moving to the UK was a culture shock in more ways than one. From the differences in everyday life to navigating dual heritage in both countries, Saarah opens up about her experiences, her perspective on both places, and the anxieties that come with travelling the world when your identity doesn't fit neatly into one box.

Angelina Zhang (she/her) joins me to talk about what it's really like being Asian at university. Navigating friend groups, standing out as a Chinese student doing English Literature, and the futures our parents have mapped out for us.

Sin Heng Chan (she/her) joins me for an honest conversation about growing up British Chinese. From her personal backstory to the state of British Asian representation in media today, together we reflect on the shared experiences of our generation and what it really means to navigate two cultures at once.

In this second episode of the British Asian - Other Podcast [BAO], listen to Anaya Bulsara (she/her) and me talk about what the British Asian experience looks like as second gen immigrant. In just over half an hour, we delve into stories from both a second gen and first gen perspective, exploring how many immigrant kids are taught about faith and religion by their parents.

In this 30 minute episode, hear Kristin Gu (she/her) and me discuss her backstory, including why she pays international fees despite being British born, her journey as an Asian creative, and the fascinating differences between the acting industries in the UK and China.

Welcome to The British Asian - Other Podcast [BAO], a podcast that explores and unpacks the diasporic nuances of being Asian in Britain.I'm your host Ryan (he/him), a British born Chinese kid from Newcastle upon Tyne, graduating from the University of Warwick. Being both a takeaway kid and being fortunate enough to go to a private school, this podcast was inspired by the current discourse regarding British Asian representation. Discussions on the British Asian experience are often from a millennial viewpoint, so my project is to provide a more concentrated conversation from a Gen Z perspective.Over the coming episodes, hear me talk to over 20 'Asian' students across Warwick campus about topics such as culture, heritage, identity and most importantly… food.Episodes will be released every weekend 🤞9uHZ1IHRnAVhle2oieTy
