We joined Clarice Aguilera and her @thetagalogproject for Filipino Storytime #9 to talk dad feelings, parent feelings, Filipino American parent feelings! Listen in to learn about why she started The Tagalog Project and Filipino Storytime. We read "Tough Guys Have Feelings Too" by Keith Negley in English and Tagalog (thanks Clarice!) We also sang Bahay Kubo and other children's songs in Tagalog. Afterwards, we held a discussion with the families in attendance to discuss positive parenting, emotions, culture, and more! Thanks to all of the families that attended and for the participants that braved the microphone to read some Tagalog phrases about feelings! If you're in the Bay Area, you can participate in Filipino Storytime every 4th Thursday at Pinole Public Library.

We have a special mini-episode with community organizer and policy consultant, Justin Rausa, to discuss his path towards and away from being a staff member for an elected official and how that world has impacted his fatherhood. We also discuss what he's into and a Dad Moment!Just a heads up that we recorded outside on a slightly windy day so there is definitely background texture and sometimes annoying wind. Old Oakland represent though! We also had to cut about 11 minutes of our conversation due to the recording quality - hence a mini-ep!

We are back from an impromptu summer break to react vibe on the idea of positive parenting especially in the context of being Filipino American parents. We also talk about some of our new ideas for the pod and share a few things that we're into. Plus, Dad Moments feels a little same but different.In the episode, we refer to:- This Filipino American Life Podcast Ep. 89 - “Alam ko na kaya mo”: Experiences of Filipino “Positive” Parenting- The Tagalog Project IG post "10 Positive Pilipino Phrases"- "Patron Saints of Nothing" by Randy Ribay - Succession on HBO- "What's in Virginia's Backpack?"Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube: @papaculturepod Theme music provided by Shift the MC: https://soundcloud.com/shiftthemc

John talks with his longtime friend, Loren Gissible ("Lo"), who is a father of two and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). What initially was going to be a talk about "how parents are talking to kids about mass shootings" turned into a more broad and deeper conversation about handling our own stuff (fears, anxiety, stressors, triggers, etc.) as the way to help our kids manage theirs. He literally drops science about child psychology and addiction. Plus, he shares "what he's into" and a Dad Moment.Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube: @papaculturepod Theme music provided by Shift the MC: https://soundcloud.com/shiftthemc

Game of Thrones ended a few weeks ago, but we have thoughts! And we share them over burritos at La Corneta in Glen Park, SF.
