In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Rachel Phan about her powerful memoir, Restaurant Kid: A Memoir of Family & Belonging (Douglas & McIntyre, 2025). A warm and poignant narrative about finding one's self amidst the grind of restaurant life, the cross-generational immigrant experience, and a daughter's attempts to connect with parents who have always been just out of reach. When she was three years old, Rachel Phan met her replacement. Instead of a new sibling, her mother and father's time and attention were suddenly devoted entirely to their new family restaurant. For her parents—whose own families fled China during Japanese occupation and then survived bombs and starvation during the war in Vietnam—it was a dream come true. For Phan, it was something quite different. Overnight, she became a restaurant kid, living on the periphery of her own family and trying her best to stay out of the way. As Phan grew up, the restaurant was the most stalwart and suffocating member of her family. For decades, it's been both their crowning achievement and the origin of so much of their pain and suffering: screaming matches complete with smashed dishes; bodies worn down by long hours and repetitive strain; and tenuous relationships where the family loved one another deeply without ever really knowing each other. In Restaurant Kid, Phan seeks to examine the way her life has been shaped by the rigid boxes placed around her. She had to be a “good daughter,” never asking questions, always being grateful. She had to be a “real Canadian,” watching hockey and speaking English so flawlessly that her tongue has since forgotten how to contort around Cantonese tones. As the only Chinese girl at school, she had to alternate between being the sidekick, geek, or Asian fetish, depending on whose gaze was on her. Now, three decades after their restaurant first opened, Phan's parents are cautiously talking about retirement. As an adult, Phan's “good daughter” role demands something new of her—and a chance to get to know her parents away from the restaurant. In Restaurant Kid, Phan deftly combines candour, wit and insight to craft a vibrant and important narrative on the strength and foibles of family, and how we come to understand ourselves. Rachel Phan is a Chinese Canadian author. A graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University's Master of Journalism program, she and her work have been featured on CBC, Huffpost, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Toronto Star, the National Post, Chatelaine, and Maclean's. Her instant national bestselling book, Restaurant Kid: A Memoir of Family and Belonging (2025), was named one of CBC Books' Best Books of 2025 and longlisted for Canada Reads in 2026.

Enjoy this special feed drop from our sister show 'In This Economy?!'. Artificial intelligence is working its way into our daily lives – and it's probably turning up in places you hadn't though of – like the local coffee shop. While there are many positive applications, the technology is also very expensive to run – and not just financially. And while it continues to proliferate into our workplaces, our homes, and the public, it remains something few people, even those politicians charged with regulating it, actually understand. Today on In This Economy?!, host Kris McCusker speaks to Richard Lachman, professor of Digital Media at Toronto Metropolitan University. He recently published a book called “Digital Wisdom: Searching for Agency in the Age of AI,” designed to help policy-makers, professionals, educators, and regular citizens understand all the impacts this groundbreaking technology could have.

Passive House design and construction is a team sport. It requires effective strategies and cooperation, but also precision in the field and the ability to tweak and recalibrate systems once the building is complete. A robust envelope may be the superpower of Passive House construction, allowing for downsized mechanical systems, electrification, and reduced stress on the energy grid, but these benefits are only achieved if everything works as intended.

The Mammoth are flush with young superstars and incoming prospects. But stockpiling talent is only half the battle in the NHL. Nurturing those prospects into everyday NHLers is the tricky part. You can check out his on-ice presentation on optimizing offensive zone play through position over possession now on The Coache Site.

What happens to the stories of residential school survivors if they are never preserved, and is Canada prepared to let them disappear? With a Supreme Court deadline approaching that could see thousands of survivor testimonies destroyed unless individuals act, we examine why many people remain unaware of the clock running out and what is at stake if those records are lost. Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist Connie Walker, host of Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's and lead of the Indian Residential School Records Project at Toronto Metropolitan University, explains the push to build a permanent national archive. We then turn to Red Dress Day and the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two Spirit people. Storyteller and educator Carolyn Roberts joins us to discuss her new children's book, "Tess's Red Dress," and how it helps families and classrooms confront a reality that is still unfolding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Enjoy this special feed drop of our sister show "In This Economy?!" A new survey from Angus Reid says most Canadians use social media--- and don't enjoy their experience. Privacy remains one of the top concerns, as a handful of companies have a near-monopoly on the most commonly used platforms. And with governments only just starting to talk about regulating social media for teens, are we as a society ready for the tidal wave that will be when AI is fully integrated?
