PAST WORK

Unconventional Stories

Co-host Kenney Tran and Sam Hyun have interviewed guests that are in careers where Asian Americans are rarely seen or heard. Guests include comedian and founder of Kollaboration Paul “PK” Kim, Khmerican founder Phatry Derek Pan, former Suffolk County prosecutor Linda Champion, poet Monica Sok, spoken word pioneer Regie Cabico, Judge Kristy Yang, rapper Bohan Phoenix, and ABC Nightline’s Ashan Singh.


FireSide Conversation With Nydia Han

During childhood and growing up as an award-winning television journalist, Nydia has had first-hand experience in dealing with societal biases and stereotypes. She is the creator of #ThisIsAmerica, a rallying cry against racist experiences faced by the Asian American community. Han today has become a prominent voice of change for the Asian diaspora.


UPCOMING WORK

Break ‘Model Minority’ Myth

To amplify tales that break the ‘model minority’ myth, future projects will include podcasts that focus on LGBTQ Asian Americans and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) voices.
