    "Chink, stop eating bats" - Asian Horror Stories & Season 1 Finale

    Today’s episode features listener horror stories to tie Season 1 into a neat little bow. From casual racism to Covid-19 verbal abuse, these stories should be told for greater awareness of the issues that the Asian community face. 

    Announcement: Juna has left the podcast and won’t be returning for Season 2. Juna has been fundamental to this project and we thank her for her time and hard work. 
    What does the future look like? Shaz would like to come back for Season 2 with a refreshed interview structure where she talks to notable Asian guests on each episode (Jackie Chan anyone?)

    We both want to thank you all for supporting us throughout this season. Bye for now, but not forever.

Carisse Velez ,

Relatable and educational

I love the positivity and the idea Sharon has around the concept of this show. Sharon has made her mission clear - bring more awareness around the Asian experience with light and love.

I am grateful Sharon has created this podcast for people of all Asian ethnicities to feel heard, understood and for those who are non-Asian to understand better.
