Lesson 4 of Hokkien Romanisation on Clubhouse 👋 Tones at 10AM - August 7, 2021.
To celebrate Goh Guek Cheik or Bak Chang Day, I pulled up a couple of older episodes from the last few years so that you can enjoy them. Save your day for June 6. 10PM. There’ll be a recording then. I’ll post more details soon.

We discussed how we missed Penang. Our guests shared how they missed Penang now and when they were not in Penang. I’m sure many of you would be able to relate. Share your experience in the comments area.
Not everyone will feel comfortable coming out in Malaysia (well, even in the USA), but those of us who can, should. Visibility is very important to break the uneducated fear of being gay. If you can put a face to a gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered person, you are less likely to discriminate. I need, and we need our straight allies to make this happen.
And I personally thank ALL my Penang Hokkien listeners who look beyond my being gay and just know me as your Miku John. Thank you!

Are you one of those who were scared of the dentist? Or are you like me who are not afraid of the dentist. Listen to our guests sharing their experience. Share yours in our comment area.
Since yesterday was Mother’s Day, we thought that it would be nice to talk about our mothers. There are funny stories and there are also sweet stories. I wish all the PGHK listeners who are also mothers or serve as nurturing maternal roles a Happy Mother’s Day. Share your mom’s stories with us in the comments area.
ATTENTION:
I think there are many of you who still do not know that I have another podcast that is in English and entirely focused on more serious subjects… well, not always. I’m silly there too. But I cover a lot more personal topics over there. Please check that out and subscribe on iTunes.

A friend sent me this link. If you read this, you obviously know someone who’s gay, ME! Make a difference. The unknown is fearful. Knowledge enlightens.

The ever popular shows are back. Ghost stories are back. We touched on dogs’ howls. Old newspaper and clothing buyers. When do you see ghosts? Ghosts in school. Blood on hotel’s towel. Why ghosts always wear white clothing? Hanging slippers on trees at a Penang Hill bungalow.
We are walking down the memory lane and visited with all the shows that we used to watch as children. From TV shows to movies in the theatre. Share your experience with us too.
