The View From a Broad Podcast dives into my past, revisiting columns I wrote for Hong Kong’s main news outlet South China Morning Post between 1993 and 2000, during my 40 years living there.
These often funny, sometimes tender, occasionally provocative musings cover everything from marriage and working motherhood, to national identity and global events.
As a weekly columnist I aimed to capture the quirks of human interactions, carve up a few sacred cows and tell it like it is... but did I?
In the 30 years since those columns were written much has changed and...so have I!
The result is an engaging and honest conversation about the evolution of social norms, culture and humor, re-examining the past through the lens of today’s values.
By looking back with compassion and curiosity, my hope is that The View From a Broad encourages reflection on how our perspective has changed... or not... and why.
