02/02/24 - What is Parenthood: Deciding how big a hongbao should be
Like every other parent, Neil Humphreys is pondering the ‘great hongbao hierarchy’, the unofficial ‘chart’ that decides how much to give children each year. It’s a stressful business, but luckily, Neil has a money-obsessed mother-in-law who knows how to allocate resources. How much is too much or not enough? Neil discusses with co-host Dan Koh (who’s not getting one from Neil!)

02/02/24 - Fright Night Friday: The Dark history of CNY’s famous tune
Dan Koh looks at the mystery behind the classic Chinese New Year song 'Gong Xi Gong Xi'. While the lyrics are upbeat and hopeful, the melody is in a minor key for a good reason. Its origin story is dark, thanks to a songwriter dealing with an enormous tragedy. Dan explains why we’ll never listen to 'Gong Xi Gong Xi' in the same way again.
