Asian Provocation

This podcast has done so much in unpacking my traumas of being an Asian in diaspora. I feel like we are constantly told to ignore and second guess our emotions so I’m glad that a space like this exists where we can really focus on our experiences, especially for Asian men. It gets supper triggering at times with how much I relate to it, but it has been so valuable for giving a more nuanced understanding of my identity.

A must listen especially for fellow Asians. It’s so nice hearing real people having real conversations about growing up with the racisms, biases and micro aggressions we don’t often get to speak about. What a fantastic platform to give voice to our community. Ayoto’s style of hosting brings a certain light heartedness to rather heavy subjects which make it easy to listen to. Bravissimo! Can’t wait to hear the many stories to come.

Wonderful discussion around masculine Vs feminine stereotypes assigned to Asian men. I would love to hear an episode where the host and a guest, perhaps Ron Hades again, discuss why it is so shameful to be seen as feminine. Maybe tap into the assumptions of femininity from that angle.

It’s open, reflective, critical and will make you think.
