June is Filipino Heritage Month in Canada and what better way for the Halo Halo Podcast to kick it off right, but with their very own special guest, editorial feedback provider to this narrowcast, and playwright extraordinaire--Marie Beath Badian! Sigi and Jezzie showcase Marie Beath's talents in their recounting of her distinctly Filipino Canadian play, "Prairie Nurse" (available through the CBC PlayME podcast) and listen in on how she birthed this national story to life. Later, Sigi and Jezzie ask Marie Beath to share her generational wealth where she reminds us of the importance of telling our own stories.
