The Mash-Up Americans is your guide to the hyphen-America world we all live in. Amy S. Choi and Rebecca Lehrer talk culture, identity, race and what makes us who we are. Get to know yourself, America.
At The Mash-Up Americans we are celebrating and challenging the raucous, colorful, complicated country we live in by asking all the important, awkward questions: What does it mean to be an immigrant in America? What cultural baggage do we bring to sex and relationships? Why is Korean skincare so popular? When does something get upgraded from the ethnic aisle?

Bonus - The Mash-Up Americans on the Immigrantly Podcast
In January 2023, Saadia Khan sat down with Amy Choi and Rebecca Lehrer for her weekly podcast Immigrantly. The conversation centered on their series on grief. The interview focused on grief, how we can understand it without over-pathologizing the sentiment, and why it’s both universal and personal. What is most remarkable about the conversation is that the trio kept it light and honest.

All-inclusive awesome podcast!
A very fun and engaging podcast which captures all the aspects of being a mash-up American! It's so interesting to hear stories and compare mash-up languages, holidays, and racist relatives (which we obviously don't agree with) from different cultures. On top of that it's hosted by two women. It's exactly what I needed as a mash-up and it's also something that is not often captured in American media (for now).
Thanks so much Amy and Rebecca for the podcast and for reminding the world that there is no such thing as a "typical" American!
Love love love!!!!
I'm not an American but a Canadian however everything they talk about resonates with me as an Ecuadorian/ Salvadorian Canadian born. It's great to hear how other people have embraced their mashiness and their own country as well.
