Next Episode: Ep. 162: Should Asian Americans Care About China's Media Image? (ft. Kaiser Kuo)

Amanda, Chris, and Teen maintain social distance and record a podcast online to discuss the emerging debate of who is to blame for all of this? This is, without exaggeration, the largest global event in our lifetimes. The consequences will be massive. We are already looking for someone to blame. Although Trump has been brazenly saying 'China Virus' over objections from liberal media that this is inappropriate, the liberal media has similarly been politicizing COVID-19 as an inevitable failure of Communist China. Caught in the middle of this are Asian Americans, who are confronting a whirlwind of social forces we are not accustomed to dealing with.
