We’re back with a preview of the next season and the home we’re creating!

Season 2 Trailer

Happy Lunar New Year! Let us roll with the waves and swim ahead in the year of the water rabbit/cat! For the first episode in season 2 we sum up the themes and guests in this season, before we dive deeper into our hopes. Get ready to laugh along as we create a new home together~

8. Home

We spoke with the final member of the Last Hoisan Poets, Genny Lim. Even though we grew up on opposite sides of the country, the three of us find overlapping journeys and questions around home, daughterhood, and the permission to dream.

9. Limitless Hoisan Heart

This week we continue our conversation with Genny Lim, with Chinatown memories, a journey into assimilation, and our way out of it to embrace who we are!

10. Remembering with Poetry

We’re back with a new episode with filmmaker and artist, Victoria Catherine Chan.

11. Transcendent Roots

Right in time for the season of thanksgiving and remembrance, we cease from our regular schedule, to not only pause, but gather with Hoisan Sauce. Join us as Dennis and Edmond share their origin story and cast a vision of possibilities for Taishanese and community with their Discord server and Youtube channel.

12. What's the Source?

We spoke with photojournalist, Alan Chin, who like us was born and raised in New York City’s Chinatown. Through Alan’s recount, we weave through the channels of time, and to 1989 Tiananmen Square, the intersection of world history that would propel him into his life’s work.
[We want to dedicate this episode to all the journalists who devoted their lives to investigating and reporting the truth, even when their lives are in peril.]

13. Intersections of World History

Right before Dongzhi, we are bidding you a special farewell, because this is our series finale! It has been two years since we first started this project and many waves of the COVID-19 pandemic later, Hoisan Hour is broadcasting for one last time. Thank you for listening and supporting us! May this give you the fuel and inspiration to continue the good fight~

14. One Last Time

A show in Hoisan on the Hoisan experience.

I’m Joyce. I’m Nancy. We’re sisters who grew up in Chinatown New York. We speak Hoisan at home. We spoke Hoisan on the streets. And we thought, why not share Hoisan and see what comes of it. Here’s our experiment and journey through Hoisan. (Fair warning: As bamboo shoots, sometimes we remix Hoisan, with Cantonese, Chinglish, and English, but we make do.)

[Update: Only season 2 episodes are available. If you would like to listen to episodes from season 1, please don’t hesitate to email us!]
