In this episode you have an opportunity to meet Nik. Nikolaus Yee is my nephew and has helped edit and bring this podcast series to fruition. Nik’s father was born in Myanmar to Chinese parents and he came to Australia in the early 1980s. In creating ‘Chinese Australian Whispers’ Nik and I listened to all the interviews and oral histories. We found we had a few things we wanted to say about them too!
