Guest: Bihzhu
We are so lucky to have a rising star in the music industry from Penang. And even luckier to have her chatting with us about her latest album right here on Penang Hokkien Podcast.
Please give Bihzhu a huge support. Buy her album. If you enjoy her music, spread her music to your friends.
Buy “Nightingale Tales” digitally. Download now.
You name the price. However much you think the music deserve, you pay that much.
By buying her album, you are facilitating her future music creation. And we all benefit. I love her music, and I love her more because she’s a fellow Penangite. And super genuine and talented.
Go to her show next Saturday, and go up to her and let her know your beloved Miku John send you! Send me pictures.

PGHK #342 Hokkien e Cheng To· (福建的前途)
((( iPhone & iPad users CLICK HERE to LISTEN )))
Guest: Xiamen Ah Long
Ah Long and I discussed the future of Hokkien in Penang. It is certain that most of you who listen to the show, intentional or not, are supporting the growth and re-popularize the usage of Hokkien.
However, there are still a lot of work to be done to preserve or mother tongue. Parents are focusing so much on English and Mandarin that we are losing our identity as Chinese Penangites. Not only in Hokkien, but other dialects as well.
This is a challenge for me and for of you to go out and spread the good news of preserving Hokkien and other dialects. As parents, you may want to start by speaking to your children in your own dialect. And send them to classes like the ones organized by Penang Performing Art Center (Penang PAC)

Guests: WiwiWawa, Bo Mo· Peh, Ang Mo· Tan, Hai Som, & Ah Chew.
This week, our Tian Ki Tiam brought us the topic of iPod.
We revisited the history of iPod and talked about which iPod have you had before. And perhaps what iPod you still have today.
Share your own iPod stories and what models you have.
Do you actually use your iPod or iPhone or iPad to listen to PGHK?
I gave away an iPod shuffle in 2007 to celebrate our first Chinese New Year gathering.
