    Episode 19 // Kpop Demon Hunters & The Unstoppable Korean Wave of 2025

    WE'RE GOING UP UP UP IT'S OUR MOMENT!! GONNA BE GONNA BE GOLDEN! As Kpop Demon Hunters becomes a global phenomenon, we examine the pros and cons of having your culture widely accepted by the mainstream and what other Korean trends are taking the world by storm. But what about Kevin, who's not even Korean? Is there some form of proxy Asian pride to be felt there as well? What does it mean to be Asian Australian and see these forms of musical and artistic expression celebrated by the mainstream? All this and more, in our latest episode of Rice Privilege, a place to explore the trials and tribulations of being part of the global Asian diaspora. Audio clips are taken from: - Golden LofiLabs Remix - SNL featuring Bad Bunny - Free Remix by Miles Away - Children sing Golden with live orchestra La Sinfonica

    Episode 18 // Okonomiyaki Bistro or Imperialist Outpost? Japan's 'Secret' War History in the Streets of Prague

    Last episode was a self-help guide. This time around, put on your history hats! Kevin encounters an almost unnoticeable piece of graffiti on the sign of a local Japanese bistro in Prague. The perpetrator is calling out a dark piece of world history, but is a humble okonomiyaki bar the right place and right time for it? Jason also reflects on the historic tensions between neighbouring Asian countries, including his own family's experience with Japanese colonisation of Korea.

    Episode 16 // Life Updates: On Career, Parenthood & Visiting the Motherland

    It's been a hot minute, but we are back! Catch up with Jason and Kevin as they reflect on how their life paths have diverged so rapidly in 2024 - parenting, career changes, and navigating their early to mid-30s (sad face emoji). Also, they coincidentally both spent time in their respective mother countries and look a little into some of the differences and similarities in Korean and Malaysian, and European cultures.

    Episode 15 // "It's Giving White Saviour Complex" - Carmen Rose, The 1975 and Being Queer in Malaysia

    This story is a rare perfect storm of pop culture, race, politics, religion and sexual identity, so you know Rice Privilege had to jump on it! We speak with Malaysian drag artist Carmen Rose about what it's like to be a queer public figure in a conservative, religious society, her reaction to Matty Healy's onstage antics which led to the cancellation of Good Vibes Festival, as well as what exactly she means by the infinitely quotable diss: "It's giving white saviour complex".

    A lot has changed in a year! Check out this recap of our lives this past year and how a change of scenery to Berlin has helped many artists and creatives, including Jason, discover a sense of belonging.

    Episode 12: One Fish, Two Fish...Dr Seuss Racist?

    Dr Seuss has been trending recently for his caricatures of other races in lesser known publications. Translated into the 21st Century, Kevin and Jason discuss the man behind the famous children's books, a little bit about cancel culture, and why wearing stereotypical 'Chinese' clothing these days just doesn't go over too well.
