424. Why I protest

Recently, I’ve lost followers for speaking out—and some asked, “What are you protesting?” This episode is my answer.

419. Jason Chu on the importance of Asian American history

I got the chance to hang with my friend Jason Chu in Los Angeles, and I knew we were in for a conversation that would challenge, inspire, and empower. Jason, a rapper, spoken word artist, historian, and advocate, has been using his platform to highlight the richness of Asian American history while also confronting the challenges our communities continue to face.

412. Is There a Revolution? How We Fight Back for Societal Change

226. Greg Rucka on the covid19 vaccine, racism and writing

As many of you know it has been a rough week for me. I’ve been speaking out about the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes on the news and at vigils honoring the victims of the mass shooting in Atlanta.
