Live Podcast Recording: Not Your Butter Chicken

 

Monday, June 2

12:00pm - 1:00 PM (PST)

 

Join us for a live podcast recording over Zoom, with the creatives behind the CBC Gem docu-series Not Your Butter Chicken! Director Priyanka Desai and host Shiva Reddy will share behind-the-scenes stories from the show, and what inspired this exploration into South Asian food and  migration histories across BC and Alberta.

 

Folks are welcome to watch one or all four of the episodes beforehand on CBC Gem, or come to hear more about the series first - everyone is welcome. "Not Your Butter Chicken" blends stories of cultural heritage, food, and travel through the voices of South Asians in Western Canada.

 

If you have questions or thoughts to share, bring them to the recording and we'll pose them to our guests!
