    Leon Filewood: The Poinciana Woman
    Oct 27 2026
    Why are some people told to avoid poinciana trees at night?

    In this episode of Jinxed, Ting is joined by comedian Leon Filewood to explore the urban legend of the Poinciana Woman.

    Together, they unpack where the story may have come from, compare ghost stories from around the world, and ask why the Torres Strait Islands can feel especially eerie after dark.

    They're also joined by animator, visual artist, lecturer and researcher Christie Widiarto, who shares her work on the Indonesian folklore figure the Kuntilanak. She chats about how ghost stories travel across cultures and continents, why so many of them centre on women, and how these stories can become a way of processing grief and preserving cultural memory.

  • Diana Nguyen: The eldest child

    Diana Nguyen: The eldest child
    Oct 27 2026
    In southern Vietnam, you never call the eldest child the eldest – you call them the second eldest.

    In this episode of Jinxed, Ting is joined by comedian and "(second) eldest" daughter Diana Nguyen to unpack one of Vietnamese culture's more curious traditions.

    Together, they explore the responsibilities that come with being the "(second) eldest," the beliefs surrounding children and family in Vietnamese culture, and what these customs reveal about the values behind them.

    They're also joined by SBS Vietnamese Digital Producer and eldest daughter Linh Nguyen, who shares her own experience growing up as the eldest child. She explains why luck plays such an important role in Vietnamese culture and how navigating pronouns can be one of the biggest cultural shifts when moving between Vietnamese and English.
