Adobo Yarn
The podcast is about navigating the migrant life as Filipinos in Australia, discussing culture, food, experiences and adventures. "Adobo" represents the rich and layered nature of the human experience. Just like adobo can be adapted with different ingredients and methods, our lives are a blend of diverse influences made rich through the stories and culture that we bring and the new traditions that we create.
"Yarn" symbolises the sharing of stories and experiences. We are weaving a narrative together, connecting with each other through the threads of our personal histories and perspectives.”

EP 02 - Filo lunchboxes, parties and Razel's search for Friends
A seemingly insignificant detail in the grand scheme of things, but for immigrant families, they become a canvas for cultural expression, a battleground for acceptance and sometimes, a source of anxiety. The multicultural lunchbox!
Anna and Razel unpack the emotional layers of this daily ritual, reminiscing the challenge of the school lunchbox. They also chat about the refreshing surprise of Aussie children's birthday parties. And as typical of these two, some off tangent yarn on Friends - yes that American TV series and Squid Games.
Listen along and share with us how you navigated this ritual with your own kids, or yourself if you bring "baon" to work! We'll mention your stories in the next episode!
PS - we have better audio in this episode! YAAYYYY!
And.... if you want to suggest yarn topics we are all ears!
