    Ep. 526: Forget About Justice: The Ong Brothers Attack (ft. Dr. Z)

    Hen Zee (aka Dr. Z) joins Teen to talk about the recent sentencing and imprisonment of John Ong following a 2020 racist attack at his family's home in Manhattan Chinatown. Why we need to let go of our naive belief in (legal) justice, why and how to get prepared for hostility and danger, and to let go of our childish investments in liberalist ideas.

    Ep. 520: Nostalgia for Retro Tech that Soothed the Soul

    Jess and Teen record a long pod about nostalgia for retro tech, only to hang up, continue the conversation, and realize the after-talk was actually the better pod. Here is the after-talk , about the virtualization of all technologies into software, the corruption of software as trojan horses into our lives, and the suspect loyalty of the technology we bring into our homes.

    Ep. 518: Disillusioned Careerism is the Best Careerism (pt. 1)

    Part 1 of 2

    Jess and Teen talk about how time and experience allows a more mercenary and disillusioned relationship with work and jobs, and how the cultish mythology around work and passion (esp in tech) was the cause and not the cure to the anxiety and pressure of careerism.

The real Asian perspectives you rarely get to hear

This podcast definitely stands out for tackling Asian issues that absolutely nobody else is talking about in media circles. They deserve my support.

Wokest pod out here

Literally dropping truths out here. Offers deep and personal insight into the asian american experience in the 21st century in America, should replace high school asian culture classes or whatever
