What's up, AO Fam? Today's episode focuses on the erhu, also known yiwu in Cantonese. It is an ancient Chinese instrument with two strings and a bow. The story follows a young boy who becomes captivated by the instrument. This story was written by Samuel Atkin, Alison Cheung, and Jasmine Ku. Although creating this story was difficult because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it didn't stop us! I hope you enjoy the story, and stay safe!

AO Storytime EP3: Lost Tracks
In the third iteration of our podcast, we follow a young girl as she remembers a series of supernatural events surrounding her family. This podcast was written by Michael Messina, Lily Tang, Michelle Tan, Emma Shen, and Samuel Atkin. This episode is special in that the script was finished before the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 but all but one recording was done remotely and collaborations ensued while maintaining adherence to social distancing. This is a testament to our resilience that neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of global pandemic stays us creative individuals from the swift completion of our appointed podcasts. Enjoy!

AO Storytime EP 2: Butterfly Callers
Hi everyone! Welcome to our second episode of AO Storytime! This episode, "Butterfly Callers," was written by the 2019-2020 President of the Asian Student Union, Mike Messina, who many of you may also know as the host of our other podcast Inside Outlook. "Butterfly Callers" is a story told through a series of voicemails between college friends. Right now, as all of us are working on social distancing due to COVID-19, we might feel a little isolated, so AO hopes to bring everyone a little comfort and entertainment through this story. Please take a few minutes to sit back, relax, and enjoy.... oh and wash your hands! :)
