The podcast series features interviews with our writers and external subject matter experts. It explores current developments in Asia that are of interest to Canadians and impact them.
The Youth Element
The Youth Element is a podcast produced by youth representing youth. Instead of trying to understand 'East Asian youth' as a singular category of analysis, APF Canada's Justin and Linda put the microphone directly into the hands of their millennial counterparts to make sense of the bigger questions around society, culture, politics, economics, national defence, and even geopolitics – and all through the narrated stories of youth and their everyday realities, challenges, and motivations living as citizens in their respective communities.

Hosted by Aram Collier and Kelly Lui, the Reel Asian programming team is here to talk film, shop, and tea. Uploaded monthly. Except when it isn’t. The Backstory is written and hosted by Aram Collier and Kelly Lui and is produced by Seungwoo Baek.
ADHD Diversified
Hosted by a Canadian-born Asian with ADHD | Sharing perspectives & experiences of having ADHD through storytelling, keeping it fun and light with a bit of humour | Bringing awareness & advocating for ADHD brains from ALL backgrounds and communities because we know ADHD is not defined by skin colour, ethnic background, or where we are on the globe.
The Second Generation
A space to discuss issues and experiences unique to second-generation millennials living in North America. I want to tell untold stories that often are not documented and, through this, insert the perspectives of this unique demographic into the “mainstream” narratives about life, work, community, family, politics, culture…and everything else in between. I offer a perspective of a South Asian (Canadian-Pakistani) millennial living and working in Toronto, Canada.
