Mimi Nguyen’s mother, Thanh, has always been super anxious. She obsessively calls Mimi at all hours and is always worried they’re in danger. This paranoia really put a strain on their relationship, until Mimi heard Thanh talking in her sleep one night. And Mimi realized… maybe there were long-hidden family secrets that might explain Thanh’s behavior.

This story contains strong language, graphic depictions of war, and mention of suicide. Please take care while listening.

Thank you, Mimi & Thanh, for sharing your story with us!

Stephanie Foo produced this story – she also wrote a memoir about intergenerational immigrant trauma and her own complex PTSD… in it, she tears down her own walls and shares her and her family’s story. Check out her incredible new book, “What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma.”

Produced by Stephanie Foo, original score by Renzo Gorrio, artwork by Teo Ducot

The first draft is history: Chile’s rejected constitution

Okey dokey. Time to fire up the old Soundcloud again. 

A bit of a warning on this story - it's so sensitive we weren't able to include it in our last RN series. It's got swearing, it's gruesome, and it's not something for you to listen to if you remember a roadkill that still upsets you. 

STILL -it brought the house down at the last slam in Sydney.

'The Last Time' SYDNEY Adam Piggott ***all the warnings!!!***

Josh Vergara, Joe Hindy and Jonathan Feist are joined by John Dye, at least until security pulls him out of his old school, for a pretty chill episode of the AA Podcast. We'd ask you to schedule us in, but all the good calendars are gone, we'd ask you to download our show to listen later, but our favorite file manager has gone rotten, at least VR is hitting homes and we're excited to see what the Vive and other contenders accomplishes next. Finally, we spend more than a few minutes debating if tech bloggers are out of touch with the average user, or if we think the average user is out of touch with technology as a whole.

Thank you for joining us, be sure to check out our Gary explains series, bringing you an in-depth look at hardware and Android development topics ranging from system cache to what limits the size of the microSD card on your phone.
