Our first guest is Sudipa, who recently settled in Scotland as a skilled immigrant due to a job relocation. She is a single mother living with her daughter in a flat in the western suburbs of Edinburgh—a flat she mentioned is the first property she has ever owned.

Supported by 2023/24 Public Engagement Funds from Edinburgh Napier University, Asian!MacAsian! podcast has been created to directly address the issue of Scottish Asian’s under-representation in public media outlets. We launched this podcast programme in the hope that it would become a window for the Scottish public to get to know more about its Asian population. In order to achieve this goal, Asian!MacAsian! podcast will bring together Scottish Asian communities and individuals, researchers, practitioners, politicians, and government officials, to present the most authentic narratives and interactions concerning social affairs relevant to its Asian population in various forms, including storytelling, interview, debate and discussion. To do so, Asian!MacAsian! aims to promote the Scottish public's culturally-focused understanding of its Asian population, while also enhancing the Asian community's sense of belonging and unity in Scotland. Ultimately, the podcast programme sets out to promote cross-cultural dialogue and social inclusion across different ethnoracial groups within the wider Scottish society, and further combat racism to achieve better racial and ethnic justice in Scotland.

The first season of the podcast will focus on “Asian

The first episode of Season 1 Asian!MacAsian! will be published on the 1st of September 2024, and new episodes will be published every two weeks after that until the end of 2024.
