Queens Memory: Our Major Minor Voices

About Queens Memory: Our Major Minor Voices

In season three of the Queens Memory podcast, “Our Major Minor Voices,” we feature stories from our neighbors of Asian descent in Queens, New York. Too often, these voices are deemed “minor” – as in “of a minority.” But in our borough, these voices are a major force. From the Little Manila shops under the 7 train line to bustling Punjab Avenue in Richmond Hill, this series takes us inside 8 Asian neighborhoods whose languages, cultures, and belief systems without question play a major role in shaping the future of our borough. A new episode drops every Monday, beginning April 11, 2022. The Queens Memory podcast is a production of Queens Public Library and was made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.

   Episode 10: Things That Brought Us Together

   Listening back to all 8 episodes, I realize we’ve created a multilingual memory book that speaks to how far we’ve come as a borough and how far we still have to go. This memory book would not be complete without hearing from the producers themselves whose deep connections to their communities allowed unique access and intimate encounters. In the final episode, we bring them together to discuss the making of “Our Major Minor Voices.” This episode was produced by Melody Cao in conjunction with Anna Williams and Natalie Milbrodt. It was hosted by J. Faye Yuan. Mixing and editing by Cory Choy with music composed by Elias Ravin.
