Penang Hokkien Podcast Home

I noticed that there is a new wave of new listeners. I have been receiving emails and messages from them asking about how to get on the show.

I hope this will be able to give you more information on how to join in our recordings in the future.

We record about once a month. Every time we record, we do several shows, sometimes three, sometimes four. If you’re interested in joining our recording sessions, continue reading.

If you’re interested in LIVE shows, this is how I do it. During the scheduled recording sessions, I will also broadcast it live through uStream (https://live.penanghokkien.com).

How can you be a part of the recording as a guest or just a live listeners and participating in polls and chat sessions?

1. Check back on PenangHokkien.com often. Schedule for future recordings are posted, usually, one week before the actual day. (It’s usually on Saturday evening, usually starting at 9 or 10PM Malaysian time)
2. If you want to be a guest, you’d have to go to the Penang Hokkien Forum to sign up for a slot. You do need a membership for the forum. (Please use a Hokkien, or Penang related name for speedy approval. SPAM usually don’t know Hokkien. ie: Pong Hong, Pang Pui, Keh Sai etc)
   Further information is provided in the link asking for your Skype name and so forth.
3. If you’re just interested in listening to use live and participate in the chat room and polls, just show up at the scheduled time and come back to PenangHokkien.com and you’ll get more info on how to tune in. (You can also go straight to https://Live.PenangHokkien.com)

It looks like it’d be the end of this month or beginning of April that we will have our next recording session. Please come back to Penang Hokkien often.

You can also follow me on Twitter, and I will update all of you there whenever there is a new recording. Or join the Penang Hokkien Facebook group.

Tofu_Wayne kindly sent me the MP3 file for the song that he wrote for Penang Hokkien Podcast. I know many of you wrote him and myself to ask for the MP3 version of the song.

Again, Tofu_Wayne, thank you very much.

I always appreciate how supportive and kind almost everyone of you out there who listen to Penang Hokkien. Yes, I do this because I enjoy it myself. But I continue doing this because of you and your support and encouragement. This morning, I woke up to this comment from TofuWayne, another great supporter of Penang Hokkien. It is such an honor, TofuWayne. you made my day.

This is what he said: (then check out his song from YouTube below)

hi John and all the seniors,

hi everyone out there, I guess I am pretty new to join and share idea with all you seniors.

After spending 4-year-time in Japan, I really found that actually I miss all the things in my home town Penang so much so much, such as my family, friends, food, culture and so on..

By listening to all of you, I feel that you guys are so warm and so kind, very friendly. It is very hard to meet some friends like you guys around here that can share everything without any worry.

Actually I am not just an university student over here, I am also working part-time in a small radio broadcast company in Kansai area. My job is music and song composing, arranging and recording, and by the way i already composed a song for this great podcast.

I composed this song for Penang Hokkien Podcast just to show that how much i appreciate this particular podcast and to show my respect to John Ong.

I can’t say that Japan is a boring country but just that I feel home sick from time to time. Until I found out this great podcast. It helps me to bring back all my sweet memories when I was still in Penang. I think I am not the only one who falls in love with Penang Hokkien, and I would like to take this great opportunity to thank John Ong. It needs a very strong commitment to run this podcast continueosly. Just leave all the credits to the mighty John Ong.

If anyone thinks that I shouldn’t do something like this, I will take away this piece of shit from youtube without any blaming immediately.

Lastly, I hope that Penang Hokkien Podcast is not going to sue me for doing this. Hope you guys love this. Thanks.
