Cheeyang is a talent who truly listens with empathy, questions out of respect and caters all that personal and educational stories with a tone of fun! These episodes are deeply Asian but widely universal. Highly recommend.
Apple Podcasts5mynameisKimyeahUnited States6 years ago - Hearing my Story
I am an Asian American born and raised from Reno, NV and this spoke to me on so many levels. I’m lucky to hear that there are platforms like this that allow us to get one step closer to peace.
Apple Podcasts5Kiet CaoUnited States6 years ago - Great food for thought, and fuel for conversation!
My daughter and I adore Kuhoo, and are absolutely obsessed with Octet. We really got to meet her virtually in a way we never otherwise would have, if not for this amazing podcast. This idea of “diversity” is a strong theme in my family’s life, too, and she really gave words to issues we face daily. Than you for putting this meaningful interaction out there.
Apple Podcasts5Mimi Jackson356United States6 years ago - Listen now!
These episodes feature exciting and accomplished artists, who are not so much interviewed as engaged in a wonderfully intimate conversation by Cheeyang. I applaud their courage in sharing deeply vulnerable stories and I admire their hearts and minds. Must listen!
