Customer Reviews
Wonderful and relatable
As an artist/entrepreneur, I love hearing the off the beaten path stories from Kyle’s guests! Thank you for the thoughtful deep dives you take us listeners through🥰
Just what I was looking for!
So well done! Been looking for a podcast like this. Interesting topics and range of guests. Kyle does a great job asking deep questions and getting to the heart of each topic.
So validating to hear similar stories as mine!
I think it’s interesting because for the first time I’m encountering stories that parallels mine. Despite having fellow Asian American friends, my conversations never go in this direction (partially because other factors played into feelings of isolation and disconnect), so I missed out on getting to find solidarity in other AAPI experiences. I also adore that this podcast shares so many female stories which I find personally very empowering. The questions appear carefully considered and it’s obvious that Kyle (the host) does his research before each interview. Overall, a really fun, eye-opening, and easy-to-binge type podcast that I would highly recommend! :-)
