EP 60: Bringing In the (Chinese) New Year
Gong Xi Fa Cai (恭喜發財)! As the Chinese New Year (Year of the Ox, FTW) approaches, Raman has NO idea what to do for his half-Chinese daughter. So with a little help from their friends - Sharon & Raman invite friends-of-the-pod Alice Hsu (from our teachers’ episode) and Ryan Joe (co-host of Raman’s other secret comic book podcast) to share their childhood memories, family traditions, and plans for this year’s celebration. What’s with the Lion (or is it a Dragon?) dance? Who stuffs their dumplings with coins? Who’s getting the red envelopes (and who’s not)? Regardless of the food you eat and games you play, the Chinese New Year (February 12, 2021) is about blessings and good for you and your loved ones.
