The Peahce Podcast

Copy Editor Alison & Media/Projects Lead Sophie sit down to recap their respective school year. Among other topics are Sophie's questionable French teacher, frozen avocados at the Harvard dining halls, advice on how to survive your junior year in high school & first year in college, as well as thoughts on the TV show The Summer I Turned Pretty! 

In this episode, Peahce's core editors—Annie, Nabeeha, and Jeanine—talk about their favorite Vietnamese, Indian/Pakistani, and Filipino dishes, respectively. We answer questions like: What's the distinction Indian and Pakistani cuisine? Is fish sauce a universal SE Asian thing? What are alternatives to boba milk tea? Tune in to hear about biryani, fish sauce, tapioca desserts, and more!

Join the conversation about sexuality and relationships--romantic, platonic, and self--as a person of Asian descent with Staff Interviewer & Researcher Darnie Tran (they/them) and Interview Lead DeAnn Le (she/her) as they read coming out submissions from YOU, the Peahce community! You'll hear about our experiences with self-expression amongst conservatism and traditions in the Asian community, coming out comfortably, and growing as a person since coming out as a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
