Ep. 451: Writing and Friendship in Post-Twitter Age, Pt. 1 (ft. Yasmin Nair)
May 16, 2023 16:20 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBAs much as we like to rag on Twitter, it's a fact that Plan A was largely built off of it. So with Twitter on a decline (even pre-Musk takeover), what's an alternative way to share our writings and meet like-minded people? Returning guest Yasmin Nair (writer, activist, academic,) joins Chris to discuss her piece, Twitter Is Not Your Writing Life, and get into a larger discussion about how and why we should write in these times.

March 20, 2023 04:44 - 1 hour - 57.1 MBChris, Adam and Teen talk about the recent explosion of Asian visibility in Hollywood at the Oscars, and whether the optics of white Hollywood "finally seeing" Asian people is real, or whether in fact Asians have strived and embedded ourselves into the entertainment business no different than any other professional industry, and are in fact insiders to the Hollywood firmament.

January 30, 2023 04:56 - 1 hour - 46 MBKyle, Adam and Teen spend a Saturday afternoon chatting about Asians not making enough babies. A recent spate of articles focused on one of the West's preoccupations: the number of Asian people on the planet. The past was marked by a Malthusian fear of a locust-like Asian explosion. The current time is marked by a fear of low Asian birthrates, leading to supposedly inevitable economic decline. The three then bring the discussion back to the personal: why don't they have kids?
