  • Curtis is great!

    Love the topics on the show. The opening question is truly the best. My favorite (so far) is the Chinatown episode! I love the history and the background noises, the community! Curtis truly spends a lot of time getting to know his guests. He was able to refer and reference past guests so quickly and help make connections. He is enthusiastic about the podcast and brings such good energy. It’s great to see Asians have more representation in so many ways. Thanks for all your work, Curtis!
