Join us as we explore the intricacies and shared experiences of growing up as immigrants and children of immigrants in Canada. In each episode, we'll explore topics from dating, moving away for school, celebrating non-western holidays, convincing your parents of sleepovers, and much more!
"Hi, my name is..."
In our inaugural post-hiatus episode, we discuss all things surrounding names – especially when you’re an immigrant or a child of an immigrant. We laugh, vent, and heal through stories of our names being mispronounced, and come to the realization that no matter our backgrounds, we can still relate to each other's experiences. We hope that you learn something new during this episode or simply feel a connection to our stories.  Thanks again to all the family and friends that submitted a voice note to be included in our episode, we appreciate it more than you can imagine.  Let us know your thoughts on the episode over at our Instagram page @lifeinsubtitlespodcast If you have any topics you’d like us to cover in future episodes, contact us at [email protected] The article mentioned in the episode: https://rb.gy/r07b

Meet the Parents
We're bringing it home this episode and interviewing our parents. We spoke with them about what led them to Canada, what culture shocks they experienced, and the advice they'd offer other immigrant parents — plus a sprinkle of wholesome anecdotes! Listen to how although both sets of parents had different immigration stories they still shared similar emotions, questions, and feelings of starting a life in a new country.  You can follow us on Instagram at @lifeinsubtitlespodcast (we have some extra content for you there)

Dating
For our inaugural show, we are diving into perhaps one of our more ambivalent topics…dating. What is it truly like to date while being a first- and/or second-generation Canadian? We interview two friends who've had two very different upbringings when it comes to how their parents talked to them about the world of dating from adolescence to now. Join us as we deep dive into this multi-layered topic. And don't worry, we'll be relooking at this topic in the future again ;)
