Cory Choy's Esme, My Love is a mother-daughter thriller, set in the wilds of upstate New York and powered by visual and auditory experimentation.

The crucial moment in so many stories about leaving the Orthodox community is the decision itself, which is frequently portrayed as a painful and heroic act, one that requires tremendous willpower. But leaving rarely works this way; instead, it is a messy and gradual process, one that can leave scars on both the leaver and their community. This episode examines the act of leaving, and whether it is always the leaver who decides that it's time to go. Episode Credits: Written by Naomi Seidman and Produced by M. Louis Gordon. Recorded by Lucien Lozon at MCS Studios Toronto. Mixed by Cory Choy at Silver Sound NYC, with theme music by Luke Allen with special thanks to Alex Dillon. Our Senior Producer is David Zvi Kalman.

The secular world has a narrative about what it means to leave Orthodox Judaism. The Orthodox world has a narrative, too, one that treats those who leave as pitiful people who were dealt a bad hand in life. This story is so deeply ingrained that even those who leave take it with them, whether they want to or not. What does it mean to shed that self-perception?

There's a widespread notion that people who leave Orthodox communities are typically shunned, completely cut off from their families. Even those who leave Orthodox communities believe this. The truth is that it's not true—but what really happens may not be any less painful. Episode Credits: Written by Naomi Seidman and Produced by M. Louis Gordon.

Heretic in the House is a podcast from the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America.

One of the deep ironies of leaving Orthodox Judaism is that people ask you to tell the story of your exit over and over again. Some people who left even make their living telling that story. Why do people who have no connection to Orthodox Judaism find these stories so interesting, and why does telling the story feel false even when it's completely true?

Listening back to all 8 episodes, I realize we’ve created a multilingual memory book that speaks to how far we’ve come as a borough and how far we still have to go.  This memory book would not be complete without hearing from the producers themselves whose deep connections to their communities allowed unique access and intimate encounters.  In the final episode, we bring them together to discuss the making of “Our Major Minor Voices.”  This episode was produced by Melody Cao in conjunction with Anna Williams and Natalie Milbrodt. It was hosted by J. Faye Yuan. Mixing and editing by Cory Choy with music composed by Elias Ravin.  This podcast has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.

The first story is about Naznin Seamon, a poet and teacher. In addition to writing poetry in Bangla and English, Naznin is a proud Bangladeshi and teaches her students not only about the Bangla language but also about the history, traditions, and culture. In the second segment, we’ll hear from Hasan Ferdous, a journalist and retired UN official, who tells us about the origins of the boimela, or Bengali book fair, in Queens, and what the Bangla language has meant to his own life.    If you’re listening with others and want to discuss, here are some guiding questions:    How do you integrate different languages into your daily life? How do you think we can create a city or society that is more friendly to English language learners? What does the Shahid Minar represent, and why is it so important? Recall a time when language has confused you. How did you feel? In what ways was it similar/different to the way Naznin describes feeling when she heard the word "lemme?"   Resources mentioned in the episode can be found below: NYC boimela   This episode was produced by Trisha Mukherjee in conjunction with Melody Cao, Anna Williams, and Natalie Milbrodt.

This episode is also available in Tibetan. You can find it in our podcast feed.  For Tibetans in their native country and around the world, preserving the Tibetan language means preserving their culture. Since the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959, these vital parts of Tibetan identity have been under grave threat.  For the past six decades, Tibetan refugees have managed to keep their culture alive in India, where they formed a democratic exile government once headed by the Dalai Lama. Since the US Immigration Act of 1990 provided immigration visas to 1000 of these refugees, exiled Tibetans have made homes away from home in America as well.  In this episode, we’ll hear how the sizable Tibetan community in Queens has managed to preserve their mother tongue.

She discusses navigating the changes over the years and what they have gained and lost from their move.    If you’re listening with others and want to discuss, here are some guiding questions:    What do you think gets lost in translation when you immigrate from another country to the United States?

Both thought their time here would be temporary. Neither have returned home. The first story is about a Nepali domestic worker. An estimated 3,000 Nepalis work in private homes in New York City, according to Adhikaar, a non-profit that offers literacy and workers’ rights classes for Nepali immigrants. In the second segment, we'll hear from another Nepali immigrant – Pasang Sherpa – who left his home behind to find a livelihood in the U.S. Luckily, he managed to build a new home, a family, and a community. The Nepali domestic worker in the first segment also lives in Queens. To respect her wish to remain anonymous, we have used the pseudonym 'Dolma' instead of her real name.

The 1970s, 80s, and 90s saw a wave of Korean immigrants coming to the US, many finding their way to Queens. The Korean American population in the US skyrocketed, reaching 1.2 million people by the year 2000. Flushing, Queens was a little Koreatown back then – where Korean families lived and worked. In this episode, we explore the theme of memory through the story of two sisters – Soojin and Eugina, who rode this wave of immigration from Korea to Queens in the 80s. They landed in their halmoni’s – that is, their grandmother’s – kitchen. If you’re listening with others and want to discuss, here are some guiding questions:    What do you remember about your first day in Queens? What are your earliest memories of Queens? What’s it like to live in Queens? What kind of life do you expect your children to have in the future? Do you have any childhood memories around race?  How did those experiences shape how you think about race and identity today? Parents and caregivers, how do you talk about race with the children in your life? How do you help them to challenge stereotypes? Do you know what your family's earliest days in the US were like?   Resources mentioned in the episode can be found below:   Korean American Story Stop AAPIHate Asian Americans Advancing Justice   This episode was produced by Heidi Shin in conjunction with Melody Cao, Anna Williams, and Natalie Milbrodt.

In this season of the Queens Memory podcast, “Our Major Minor Voices,” we feature stories from our neighbors of Asian descent in Queens, New York. One in four Queens residents identifies as Asian American – that’s over 650,000 people with roots in more than 120 Asian countries. They speak over 800 languages and make up the largest urban concentration of Asian Americans in the nation. The stories in the third season of the podcast, “Our Major Minor Voices,” document the experiences of our borough’s rich and diverse Asian communities in their own voices. Each episode features stories about identity and belonging from this broad array of people who have made valuable contributions through their cultural traditions, belief systems, and linguistic diversity. Bookended by the season introduction and finale, the series includes eight bilingual episodes representing the most widely spoken Asian languages in Queens: Bangla, Hindi, Korean, Mandarin, Nepali, Tagalog, Tibetan, and Urdu. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, these communities have been in turmoil. Already grappling with longstanding issues such as income inequality, immigration barriers, and racial stereotyping, Asian Americans now faced concerns for their personal health and public safety. In this unique moment, we aim to document the stories of these vital communities and capture snapshots of our ever-changing neighborhoods as they are now. Season Three’s production team includes Melody Cao, Anna Williams, Natalie Milbrodt, Jiefei Yuan, Cory Choy, Meral Agish,Tenzin Choklay, Indranil Choudhury, Shradha Ghale, Peter Gill, Stella Gu, Syma Mohammed, Trisha Mukherjee, Heidi Shin, Rosalind Tordesillas, with music by Elias Ravin.   This podcast has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.

In Season 3 of the Queens Memory podcast, “Our Major Minor Voices,” we feature stories from our neighbors of Asian descent in Queens, New York.    Too often, these voices are deemed “minor” – as in “of a minority.” But in this series – as in our borough – they are a major force. One in four Queens residents identifies as Asian-American.    In this episode, Executive Producer Melody Cao chronicles the turmoil these communities are experiencing in the present, as well as the richness of their pasts in our borough.   If you’re listening with others and want to discuss, here are some guiding questions:    What does ‘HOME’ mean to you?When did you start to call Queens home?What makes Queens feel like home to you?   Resources mentioned in the episode can be found below: Asian American / Asian Research Institute, CUNYAsian American Center in Queens CollegeChinese-American Planning Council   This episode was produced by Melody Cao in conjunction with Anna Williams and Natalie Milbrodt.

Mobilize producer Cory Choy speaks with lifetime activist and volunteer Sue Gibson. After the shock of the 2016 election, Sue joined the Working Families Party’s Progressive Heroes project. She helped lead Text4Resistance teams in their efforts to turn out voters to elect numerous progressive candidates— many of whom have gone on to either win the primary or general election. These candidates include Latoya Cantrell, the first woman elected to serve as New Orleans’ mayor, Vernetta Alston, a progressive and queer woman of color who won her primary for city council in Durham, North Carolina, and Randall Woodfin, youngest ever elected mayor of Birmingham Alabama (among others). https://www.mobilizehere.com/podcast/mobilize---season-2-episode-1-sue-gibson---working-families-party/
