Description of the podcast:
This podcast is about topics that girls would talk about when they hang out. All three female hosts are confident women – Ma 姐 (Ma ze2) always gives sharp comments and insights, 阿雪 (aa2 syut3) gives wonderful tips on makeup, and 凌芝 (ling4 zi1) is a stay-at-home mother. The hosts focus on one topic per episode by dividing the discussion into three segments. As each lady is in a different stage of life, listeners hear comments and advice from many perspectives and angles even on one matter. Some topics carry over to the next episode.
Topics covered include makeup tips, what to do on a first date, what to do when a girl falls for a guy, how to tell if a guy is The One, how fate works etc. There are no songs played in the show and no commercial break, the hosts take no calls from listeners and they rarely invite guests onto the show. The whole series is natural and genuine which listeners can learn about chat that would come up when women hang out.
Summary: This Cantonese podcast covers “girl talk” and is a great way to learn about lots of different things.
