Episode 1: We Call It Home

Detail

Date releasedApril 11, 2022DescriptionIn Season 3 of the Queens Memory podcast, "Our Major Minor Voices," we feature stories from our neighbors of Asian descent in Queens, New York.

Too often, these voices are deemed "minor" - as in "of a minority." But in this series - as in our borough - they are a major force. One in four Queens residents identifies as Asian-American.

In this episode, Executive Producer Melody Cao chronicles the turmoil these communities are experiencing in the present, as well as the richness of their pasts in our borough.

If you're listening with others and want to discuss, here are some guiding questions:

What does "HOME" mean to you?
When did you start to call Queens home?
What makes Queens feel like home to you?

Resources mentioned in the episode can be found below:

Asian American / Asian Research Institute, CUNY Asian American Center in Queens College Chinese-American Planning Council

This episode was produced by Melody Cao in conjunction with Anna Williams and Natalie Milbrodt. It was hosted by J. Faye Yuan.
Mixing and editing by Cory Choy with music composed by Elias Ravin.
