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

North Beach resident, expert tour guide, lover of art and music, known to visitors and locals alike as a go-to conversationalist and community guide -- Blandina Farley chats with the podcast at A. Cavalli Cafe located at one of the crossroads of North Beach. Recorded February 28, 2024.

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!]
