檳城福建
考慮了一些日子，今天決定隆重向大家介紹播客～檳城福建。這是一個檳城人或福建人可能愛听，也可能會臭罵的節目。
這個節目出現在互聯網上已有數年，姓王的男主持人30多歲，來自檳城丹絨武雅，現在在美國工作。他用閑暇時間邀請各方友好錄制關于檳城的清談節目。
為什么介紹這個節目需要再三考慮？那是因為除了多數檳城生活的課題，他很“勇敢”地在節目中的坦白講事實，有時露骨，偶有粗話。他對各項課題如性生活和性取向會“口無遮攔”，可能令衛道人士和正經八百的人覺得不堪入耳非禮勿聽。無論如何，節目中談論的情況确實存在于社會，談論起來應該沒什么大不了，因為他列明成年人才可以收聽，未成年者還需要父母批准！
据說，一些父母會和孩子一起听，比較保守的則會說是“教坏細路”。小弟認為，听而不聞的事并不代表沒有發生。其實扭扭捏捏逃避并不能解決問題，反而用心聆听和坦誠相對，或許可以改變情況。
王先生于某國民型中學先修班畢業后往美國留學和工作，但他沒有像一些“香蕉人”那樣忘本（什么都是美國好），反而喜歡講福建話。他說，他無論在哪里見到華人一定先開口講各種方言或華語，否則會問對方“你到底是不是華人？”。
這位可愛的王先生相信是全球第一個以檳城福建話做“廣播”的播客。他在節目中經典的狂笑聲和傳神的用詞，听了實在過癮。那都是我們童年的深刻記憶，也讓人想起頑皮時被老阿婆笑罵的情景。他的節目還有一個好處，就是中文或英文教育的檳城人都听得懂，尤其峇峇和娘惹族人。
聽過很多集節目，發現王先生的聽眾來自世界各地，主要都是檳城和北馬往海外去闖蕩的各种專才。那天聽到一位聽眾表示身在非洲，真要寫個服字給影響力延伸到非洲的王先生。
其實他的播迷很多，据說有上千人。若他回檳探親，也可以召集上百人出席，影響力隨時胜過愛講騙話的政棍。若他想到非洲或地球上的任何一個角落，一定會有“福建幫”愿意接待他，羨煞旁人。
在這里希望王先生可以為檳城鄉音留下更多精彩的記錄，慰籍國外那些思鄉和想念親友的游子。
大家要收聽這個“兒童不宜”的節目，請在孩子睡覺后上網搜索：檳城福建。
