Season 1 Epilogue: Now you're getting to know us, what's next?
Supported by 2023/24 Public Engagement Funds from Edinburgh Napier University, Asian!MacAsian! podcast has been created to directly address the issue of Scottish Asian’s under-representation in public media outlets. We launched this podcast programme in the hope that it would become a window for the Scottish public to get to know more about its Asian population. In order to achieve this goal, Asian!MacAsian! podcast will bring together Scottish Asian communities and individuals, researchers, practitioners, politicians, and government officials, to present the most authentic narratives and interactions concerning social affairs relevant to its Asian population in various forms, including storytelling, interview, debate and discussion. To do so, Asian!MacAsian! aims to promote the Scottish public's culturally-focused understanding of its Asian population, while also enhancing the Asian community's sense of belonging and unity in Scotland. Ultimately, the podcast programme sets out to promote cross-cultural dialogue and social inclusion across different ethnoracial groups within the wider Scottish society, and further combat racism to achieve better racial and ethnic justice in Scotland.
The first season of the podcast focuses on “AsianStorytelling”, wherein different generations of Asians from a range of geographic and cultural origins will share with you the stories about their culture, family dynamics and migration journey settling in Scotland.

SIE5: Family means loyalty, people you can rely on, family is my mom - Arm from London (third generation Hong Konger) #1
Our guest today is Arms. I first met him when I went to a networking event lunch club with older Chinese immigrants living in a smaller Scottish city, where Arms was there as a volunteer to help with the translation between English and Cantonese. During the event, I shared with him the idea of doing Asian!MacAsian podcast and he told me he is keen to be part of it, especially the idea of letting more Scottish people know about the Asian population living in Scotland. The following month, we travelled back to the city and visited him in his homey flat, where his dog greeted us at the door.
