Interesting, thought provoking and entertaining
I first heard Phil & Jeff on the Disruptors with Nancy. They made me laugh so I started listening. As a half-black Heinz 57 who was told I was going to be kidnapped by the Asian mafia, before this podcast I was completely ignorant of all things Asian America. This podcast has erased my misconceptions and made me realize I have more in common than not with my Asian American neighbors. Thanks Phil and Jeff - you rock!
This podcast is a gem. It’s also a cultural gem because it elevates AANHPIs, it has deeply educated me with so much of Asian Am. history that isn’t available unless you major in it, and, despite the deep social justice roots that drive so many do the conversations, this pod is also full of joy and laughter. Thank you Jeff Yang and Phil Yu for providing so much AANHPI pride.
Just started reading Gene Luen-Yang, so went looking for some interviews. They guys did and awesome job. Not afraid of a long interview, with wanderings, but all enjoyable. Laughed a lot.
Always enjoy the insight, humor and friendship. Really cozy vibe, great guests and important info about Asian and Asian Americans in pop culture. Super relevant.
