Earlier this summer, we hung out with Fumi Abe and Mic Nguyen, the two stand-up comedians behind the podcast Asian, Not Asian. They describe their show as “two Asian guys not from Asia talking about American issues no American cares about.”
If that catches your interest, tune in for what may be our most entertaining episode yet. (Fumi and Mic are a lot funnier than us.) We talk about a range of random things including day jobs, podcast show formats, “Asian” issues, “American” issues, and more. Fumi and Mic also share their origin stories and how they each got into comedy.
Thanks for the laughs, Fumi & Mic!
