Shoes Off
By Jay Ooi
Winner of Smartest Podcast at the Australian Podcast Awards 2021 - this is the written, produced and edited podcast made by and for Asian Australians, because we don’t talk about race and culture enough. We’ll dive into topics where you’ll hear from a range of voices, and we'll bring you stories and thoughts from interesting Aussie Asians, academics and everyday folk so we can question, explore and celebrate what it means to be an Asian in Australia.
