308 - Linda Nguon - Banh Mi Podcast

The Vietnamese with Kenneth Nguyen

Linda Nguon is the founder of Banh Mi podcast and Banh Mi Media. Her mission is to increase mulitcultural representation of individuals in France by sharing of people’s stories and experiences, so that others (worldwide) can find themselves and understand their own identities.

She has met that goal by organizing and collaborating with other collectives for film screenings, talks, live podcasts, exhibition, festivals (she's co-produced the 1st Asian Street Food Festival in Paris).

At the age of 24, Linda left France to explore Asia and ended up living there for 8 years in South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand as well as traveling to different parts of Asia: China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, India and Japan.

Living and traveling to these countries has helped her understand parts of her own upbringing and the complexities of integrating her own Asian culture as it related to her being born and raised in a Western country, such as France. This is how the Banh Mi podcast was born, and now called the Banh Mi Media.

Today, the media has reached (since 2021) a community of more than 40K listeners, viewers, subscribers. (Spotify, Apple Podcast, Youtube, Instagram, Tiktok, Newsletter)

Linda is also an admin member of Dive+ a collective promoting inclusion and diversity in the French cinema, founded by Kaname Onoyama.
