I fall in love with every person featured, every story. The soundtrack matches the vibe so well, and I feel connected to people I’ll likely never even meet. I’ve relistened to episodes on days I feel alone or detached from my own communities.
Seattle publisher
Wonderful, “Book”. I can’t help but Mention Chin Music Press, a Seattle publisher of Asian American authors located in the Pike Place Market!🇯🇵
