Customer Reviews
A wonderful, enriching and insightful podcast! Thank you Ms. Tan!
Stumbled upon this after hearing the Pho episode on NPR. As an Asian-American, the bicultural perspective is one that reasonates strongly. Excellent production and well-crafted. Not sure when or if a second season is due, but happy to wait patiently. I highly recommend this podcast!
Wonderful voice for the Vietnamese American Community
Update: Still Waiting for more content from Thanh, every few months I go back and listen to season one.
I like that Thanh brings up topics that all of us Vietnamese American living in America faces through the decades since the Vietnam War. What I love about this podcast is Thanh. Her presentation and delivery of her ideas through the format of this show is fantastic. Here’s to hoping for plenty of future episodes to come.
Great story telling
Looking forward to season 2. Great to hear perspectives of Vietnamese Americans.
