Old Penang Hokkien 舊庇能福建

No, you did not go to the wrong website.

This is still Penang Hokkien Podcast. But the chat I had with Joan is so Penang-centric that I couldn't pass sharing it with you right here on PGHK.

I hope you will enjoy the show.

Joan is back this week to chat with us about her special bond with Penang.

She also told us about her first book "Relatively Speaking".

Thanks to many of you who wrote in and called in with your messages informing me how much you enjoyed Joan. Since this show is also pre-recorded. I play and respond to your messages next week.

I hope you will enjoy as much I on how Joan is connected in a very special way to Penang.

If you are interested in purchasing Joan’s books. Please email her at ffjoan [at] gmail [dot] com. Or send me an email, and I’ll forward that over to her.

We can't avoid talking about the ghost festival. This time we focus on when and how people offer food for the hungry ghosts. What are the things we do and shouldn't do during this period.

I started the show by addressing the issue that several listeners of ours raised. Recently, more and more of our guests are using some very inconsiderate racist and derogative terms for other ethnic groups. I voiced my own opinion on how I am completely against this kind of language. I don't disagree that racial discrimination from all sides are still there. But being racist and calling people names aren't the solutions.

On a lighter note, I would like to invite all of you to join me along with a few other members of the panel to talk about podcasting this coming Sunday, August 29, 2010 from 2PM to 3:30PM. Butterworth Megamall Public Bookstore.

I'll be waking up in the middle of the night to talk to you all live, I hope you'll go support this event and spread the word about podcasting.

You have either gotten one or more. Or coming close to getting one. Or more likely than not for Malaysian, you probably "paid" your way out of it. I'm talking about a summon. More specifically a traffic or parking summons. Listen to my guests experience. How they get in and out of their samban.

Question: Do we actually write "Samban" in Chinese? I have seen "三万“ but not sure if it's actually used?

This week's topic is so basic yet so impactful. We all poop. But we seldom talk about it. Leave it up to Penang Hokkien Podcast to thorough discuss everything that you can and cannot imagine. I have to say, this is one of the funnest topics for me personally. I hope you'll find this either disgusting or interesting. Or both!

WARNING: You may not want to eat while listening to this episode.
