    EP 512: David Bradley Lim On Finally Finding His Path As A Successful Actor

    David Bradley Lim grew up in a comfortable Nor Cal suburb. He excelled at most sports, but he knew that he'd never be able to be competitive beyond high school. So he majored in electrical engineering. But after earning his degree, he dove headfirst into the mortgage lending business. Even though he didn't know an escrow from an equity line, he put in the reps and became a top performer. But one day the savings and loan world collapsed all around him. Still not sure what he wanted to do to earn a living, he explored modeling, ultimately being signed by one of the top agencies. But David realized that, deep inside, he wanted to be an actor. So he threw himself into acting classes, again, putting in the reps and hoping for a lucky break. After being part of Season 2 of Quantico, in 2017 he auditioned to be part of the cast of S.W.A.T., an American police action drama television series, based on the popular 1975 television series and the film adaptation of the same name. He impressed the director and producers so much that they created a recurring member of the team who was Chinese American! The show is in its eighth season and the pilot and previous seasons are frequently watched on Netflix now. You can find him @davidbradleylim and the jewelry that he and his wife make @shopmayadavid.

    EP 511: The Two Kens On Unpacking The Unexpected Ending of "Conclave" Film

    Already being mentioned for the Academy's "Best Picture" and "Best Actor" awards, this screen adaptation of Robert Harris' international bestselling novel Conclave is now available to rent on streaming platforms like Amazon Prime, Apple TV, VuDu, and more! Having watched it together the week of Thanksgiving, Ken Kemp and I were chomping at the bit the next day to debrief the major messages, especially in the final scene. If you've already seen it, you may have completely overlooked the symbolism of the turtles, but we didn't! This episode contains major spoilers, so if you'd rather watch the film first, listen to how we unpack it after. Even if you choose not to see this film, I think you'll still gain a great deal listening in on our reactions.

    EP 509: Joanne Howard On Writing "Sleeping In The Sun" Debut Novel

    California-based Asian American writer Joanne Howard discovered her grandfather's journals which he'd written while the family was serving as Baptist missionaries to India in the 1930s. Fascinated by his firsthand accounts of being an American family as India began to push back against being a colony of Great Britain, Howard was inspired to create a story of a family much like his, told from the perspectives of the youngest of four American boys and the family's Indian man-servant.
