A Promenade Through Season 1 of Bridgerton

What It Feels Like For A Girl

Framing Britney Spears has the ALTP team all abuzz. Hosts Kerry Ose, Joanna Chen and Brianne Young recap the documentary and talk about our own experiences as young girls trying to define ourselves. We look at our own complicity in tidy media narratives and what we can learn from all the ways we've been wrong about Britney and so many other young people who have the audacity to be creative, talented and successful.

A Dumpling For Your Thoughts

ALTP is honored to ring in the Lunar New Year with Suzanne Chen, lifelong foodie, Plano Magazine Girl Boss 2020 [http://planomagazine.com/girl-boss-2020-suzanne-chen/], and mom to our own Joanna Chen. In this interview, Joanna and Suzanne describe in delicious detail regional Chinese cuisines and other foods they love with a passion. They explore how food anchors identity, nurtures relationships and leads to adventure, including cooking classes in Taiwan.  What do you think about this story?

Spoon River Mythology

In the first of a two-episode series, host Kerry Ose interviews her dad about his memories of his parents' restaurant in London Mills, Illinois. What she learns challenges Kerry's beliefs about her own origin story, and how being White made her and her forebears safe and prosperous. Next week, host Joanna Chen will interview her mom about her own childhood experience in a family restaurant, and how that chapter fits into her life story of emigrating from Taiwan to the United States when she was a child.  What do you think about this story?
