Not Safe for Weebs: Fandom and Politics from a Salty Japanese-American Solace Ames

After seeing Boots Riley's excellent movie Sorry to Bother You this weekend and getting all fired up about fighting The Man, I talk about other anticapitalist satires and labor rights struggle movies. Then I interview a sharp, critical Korean-American about media coverage of Korea in the age of Trump. She also recommends following peace activist Christine Ahn on Twitter (https://twitter.com/christineahn).

A mini-episode where I talk about the June 30th Families Belong Together protest and explain what borders really are.

I'm Solace K. Ames—welcome to my podcast. If you're a weeaboo and listen to this podcast you might get a rash or something, hence the title. This is mainly a serious show about touchy subjects in both fandom and politics and the intersection thereof. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know! 
My first episode contains an interview with a very cool aspiring Jodo Shinshu Buddhist minister and fellow fan of The Expanse. Then I talk for a bit about leftist cults from a leftist point of view and how to steer clear of them.
