  • Chinese government propaganda

    They blame victims of hate crimes and question how “Asian” they are whilst asserting what the victims SHOULD say after getting attacked in their view. Truly awful, racist people. Additionally, they just host pro CCP shills to deliver talking points and pretend to be a chill podcast. Be aware.

  • Temporary comment

    Frank Tsai episode is just a facepalm. He is a nice person. Just incompetent to talk about international stuff. You were too nice to him to not knock him down with questions. Such ungrounded incoherent talker barely withstand with his points against high schooler. 😅

  • Fun, Relatable, Complicated, Deep!

    To me this pod is reflective of being human. In different episodes they will either talk about personal, social, cultural or political issues. I won’t always agree but that’s also the point. I respect the honesty and the fun this pod brings to some deep and complicated topics.
