In this very special Christmas episode, we sit down with none other than Phil Wang, Chinese-Malaysian-English comedian, writer and actor. Together we discuss TV, turkey, traditions and childhood trauma. What are the holidays for, eh!?

Phil Wang – the newest judge on BBC’s Great British Menu – has starred in two eponymous Netflix stand-up specials: Philly Philly Wang Wang and Wang in There Baby! He shot to fame on Taskmaster and regularly appears on Have I Got News for You. His debut part-memoir, ‘Sidesplitter: How to Be from Two Worlds At Once’, received critical acclaim.

Phil joins Mel and Iz in breaking down the latest ‘Celebrity Traitors’ chaos - laughing at random vote-offs and how quickly the pack mentality develops. As Phil puts it, those throwaway comments are where people’s biases really start to show.

Tune in for a conversation about Christmas traditions across cultures, Phil Wang’s journey from Cambridge Footlights to being one of Britain’s best-loved comedians, navigating mixed-heritage identity, and why he’s brutally honest about New Year’s resolutions.

Mel and Iz sit down with Duane Nasis, Filipino-British multidisciplinary movement artist based in London; and one fifth of Dragon BoiZ, a queer Asian dance troupe that’s here to ‘ruin the family hotpot’.

Duane explores a diverse range of practices from physical theatre, clowning and cabaret, to contemporary dance, gymnastics, and even lucha libre wrestling. They have worked with the prestigious Sadlers Wells, mother Rina Sawayama, Marvel Studios and played an Orc in the series Rings of Power.

In this ep, we delve into Duane's journey as a queer Asian artist, discussing the joy of cabaret, the power of queer joy, and their visual approach to dismantling cultural stereotypes through movement and performance. We also ponder the question, 'Why are Filipinos so performance ready as a culture?’

We also get into the juicy details of Duane’s upcoming directorial debut, ‘Mssrs. Sweet and Sour’, a romance/tragedy cabaret featuring two Yakuza protagonists that flips the script and truly re-sexualises and celebrates the nude, Asian, male body. 

Tune in as Duane shares their love of performing, their emotional connection to theatre and freedom, and how they’re pushing forward for sexier, diverse, representation in the theatre scene.

We unpack microaggressions, explore Black and Asian allyship, and laugh (a LOT) while talking about the messy, beautiful complexities of mixed-race identity.

Self-interrogation is the theme of the day – because the only way to grow, heal, and show up as a compassionate human is to really look at yourself. Expect hot takes, belly laughs, and some real talk about yellowface, appropriation, and dating as a mixed person (yes, we went there!).

Whether you’re navigating dating apps, exploring your own mixed heritage, or just love unapologetic conversations about race and culture, this episode is for you. Emma and Nicole also drop insights from their book The Half Of It: Exploring the Mixed-Race Experience, which is now out in paperback edition. 📚✨

So grab your headphones, pour a drink (or three), and get ready to banter, reflect, and celebrate the full spectrum of mixed identity with us.

Check out @mixedup.podcast for more stories about race, identity, and belonging.

Rahel opens up about her journey into the culinary world, why Indonesian food is criminally underrated, and how she uses her work to challenge stereotypes in food media. Together we explore diaspora privilege, self-exoticisation, and the constant balancing act between authenticity and commercialisation – especially when it comes to being a brown Southeast Asian woman.

We also dive into how Western perceptions shape the narratives around Asian food, the nostalgic ‘auntie’ trope that food media loves to use, what it means to cook for community vs the “Western gaze,” and why emotional honesty matters as much as flavour. And, in an exclusive reveal when the cameras weren’t rolling, Rahel discovers a surprising ancestral link that connects her even more deeply to Southeast Asia. Scoop of the season!

From mango diaspora jokes to redefining Indonesian food, Rahel brings her sharp wit, warmth, and conviction to the conversation. Let's dive in!

In this summer sports special, we chat with Darren Tsang to explore how community, identity, and creativity collide on and off the pitch. Darren, known as Humothy, is a creative thinker, community builder, documentary photographer, and is founder of Rise United and 1314FamilyStyle.

Born in Hong Kong, raised in London, and driven by purpose, Darren shares how his lived experiences shape his visual storytelling, his approach to leadership, and his dedication to building safe, joyful spaces for Asian diaspora communities through sport and culture.

We talk about why community football matters, what it means to be a tastemaker in a world of lazy AI content, and how his projects are redefining belonging – whether that’s through photography, streetwear, or a weekly Sunday match. 

Darren also opens up about the realities of burnout, the role of emotional intelligence in leadership, and how collaboration, failure, and joy are central to the legacy he wants to leave behind. He’s also single – so ladies, get in the DMs!

In this episode, Mel and Iz sit down with Little Moons co‑founder Vivien Wong to unpack the 15‑year “overnight success” of the brand: leaving a corporate career and switching stilettos for Uggs, bootstrapping for 12 straight years, and turning a family bakery legacy into an international brand stocked in Tesco, Target, and Tokyo alike. 

We dive into the art (and science) of perfect mochi, surviving a TikTok tidal wave of demand, building systems that don’t break, and why Asian representation in food still matters.

Vivien also opens up about sibling co‑founders, therapy‑fuelled confidence, the beauty of spending time with your family, and the moon‑rabbit fable behind the name that changed the ice‑cream aisle forever. Tune in for a masterclass in resilient entrepreneurship, and a love letter to the diaspora that proves chewy Asian snacks have always been cool.

In this episode, Mel and Iz chat with Laxmi Hussain, a London-based artist inspired by the human form, motherhood, and nature. Born to a Filipino mother and Indian father, Laxmi’s multicultural background shapes her art, exploring identity, self-love, and acceptance. Trained in architecture, she shifted to art after becoming a mother, inspired by her children and the journey of motherhood. 

Laxmi shares how grief, especially losing her mother, influenced her signature use of blue—a tribute to her and a reflection of her creative journey. Her work, known for its intentional incompleteness, invites personal connections. We discuss how motherhood shaped her art, navigating grief through her work, and the cultural richness of her heritage. This is an emotional one for sure.
