Customer Reviews
Fun and insightful podcast on the Asian-American experience
Includes stories from sisters Katie and Nicole's personal lives, pop culture discussions, and interviews. They manage to cover serious topics with a certain lightheartedness that makes it fun to listen.
Makes me laugh out loud in public
Witty, varied, insightful, funny, 🇨🇳
Hello?! About time!!!
Can I just say how awesome this podcast is? I have been waiting for a long time to hear perspectives from an Asian American!!! There's not a lot of media representation so when I found this podcast I was thrilled!!
I feel like they are family when listening to the lovely ladies' stories of growing up. I completely relate on the plastic baggies!! I got scolded by my grandma for throwing them away. Glad to know I am not the only one that experienced that!
Keep up the awesome work ladies!! Can't wait to hear more!!
