The podcast you wish you had growing up. Our hosts, Eden, Meghna, Naina, and Lisa and our guests, explore the funny, insightful, and awkward experiences of what it means to be of Asian descent. With the lack of representation in media, it's important that we support one another, bring awareness, and be at the forefront of change.
