Really insightful podcast that also helps non-Filipinos understand what life is like for their friends and relatives. Thanks for making this!

As someone who is half Filipino and has been super disconnected from the culture their whole life, this podcast is amazing. My mom made it a point to keep me separated from it no matter how much I begged, so to finally hear stories and history through this podcast? Beautiful.

I am really enjoying this podcast to learn more about myself and my culture. I appreciate Paola and Patrick’s hard work on this pod and it shows. I enjoy the storytelling layout of the pod bc it really gives me more context about the story. Keep up the good work!

LDR has A LOT of heart. It’s so well produced that I often get swept up in the story and just flow seamlessly through until the end. As a FilAm that grew up in a predominately white community with a white mom and Filipino dad I always felt like my identity and connection to my culture never really fit into a nice clean box, which sometimes felt very othering. Not quite Filipino enough, but still not presenting white. Hearing the stories of so many different Filipinos on the podcast makes me feel seen and understood and I get to learn about new perspectives and connect more to what being Filipino means to me. LDR is one of my new favorite podcast and I can’t to see how the show grows!
