PGHK #258 Sai (屎)
This week’s topic is so basic yet so impactful. We all poop. But we seldom talk about it. Leave it up to Penang Hokkien Podcast to thorough discuss everything that you can and cannot imagine. I have to say, this is one of the funnest topics for me personally. I hope you’ll find this either disgusting or interesting. Or both!
WARNING: You may not want to eat while listening to this episode.
PGHK #257 Tian Khi (电器)
This week we continue with the high-tech trend and discussed about electronics of various kinds. From hot water kettle to VCR. Air-con to iPhone.

Did you know that PGHK has a page on Facebook at http;//facebook.com/PenangHokkien ? Well, we do, and this week, we also talked about how we love and hate the ever-so-popular Facebook — Bin Chhe·k. You’ll be surprised what people would do on Facebook! Share your thoughts.
PGHK# 255 Chhit Chan Lau Kui (七栈楼鬼)

Lelong talked about the disturbance he encountered during our previous recording that caused him to withdraw himself.

PGHK #253 KLPAC Hok-kian Hi (KLPAC福建戏)
Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center (KLPAC) will be be presenting their very first full Hokkien comedy. And it’s also played by a bunch of real Hokkien lang. That’s why this production sparked my interests. I invited not only the cast, but also the writer and director to the show. We chatted about how this comedy came about and why is it fully in Hokkien.
I’m personally excited about this production, and I hope you will be too. Please go support the production. And actually bring your friends, even if they don’t speak Hokkien. There will be sub-title in English. I think having experience thes sound of the full Hokkien cast is going to be a great experience.
There’s also a special deal for early birds. Get the basic information below, or find out all the information from KLPAC.org.

PGHK #252 Ang-mo· Kong Hok-kian (红毛讲福建)
Some of you may have remembered the ang-mo·, Michael Churchman who appeared on a couple episodes of PGHK.
This week, I spent the entire episode chatting with him. Obviously I am impressed with his ability, interest, and knowledge about Hokkien. And I’m curious as to how and why he started learning Hokkien. Find out in this episode.
He has also agreed to share his studies and knowledge about Penang Hokkien with us on our website.
Go to a new segment on PGHK called Learn More About Penang Hokkien to read Michael’s article.
After you listen to this episode, actually, while you’re listening to this episode, head over to How to Write Hokkien in the Roman Alphabet – An-choaⁿ iong Ang-mo∙-ji sia Hok-kian-oa and learn the standard way of writing Penang Hokkien.
