Recovering Filipino is an engaging and playful celebration of life, family and Filipino culture through the eyes and escapades of host Jim Agapito. We want listeners to feel like a member of a big, joyous, and complicated extended family. Growing up, Jim saw himself as the black sheep of his family. Many years later, as an adult, Jim’s lola (his grandmother) called him out for being a “bad Filipino”. The program encapsulates Jim’s reconnection with his Filipino heritage and identity. Each episode is full of surprises and invites listeners to join the party and learn something new about themselves and their neighbours. This is a program about Filipinos by Filipinos.
