Getting Personal with Daphne Bugler and Isabella Hobbs

This week we’re joined by Eddie Huang, an author, chef, restaurateur, food personality, and producer. Eddie published his autobiography ‘Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir’ in 2013, which covers his childhood & adulthood and the struggles with identity he experienced growing up, which was later adapted into an ABC sitcom. Alongside his Lower Manhattan restaurant, BaoHaus, Eddie also hosted ‘Huang’s World’ on VICE, taking viewers on a hilarious journey exploring race, identity, multiculturalism and food. In this episode we talk to Eddie about his childhood in the US with young Taiwanese immigrant parents, learning to choose empathy and forgiveness, and (of course) lots of food chat.

This week we have a very special episode as we are joined by the incredible Dr. Emeka Okorocha, an A&E Doctor who has been working on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic in London. Above and beyond his work in the NHS, Dr. Emeka has also developed a major following on TikTok where he posts informative content about healthcare and medicine, works to debunk myths and counter misinformation, and aims to spread positivity (with a few dances thrown in too).
