Racist woman

Unnamed Source

The co-host is an extremely racist Korean woman. She seems to hate anyone that’s not Korean like her. The male host may be on some type of spectrum. Great podcast if you like racist Koreans.

Ed Van Buren

This is one of the most thought-provoking bunch of conversations ever assembled. Two liberals—one an Asian woman committed to doggedly pursuing complete inclusivity and representation in the arts, the other a white man teetering skeptically between his own recognition that his co-host's representation concerns need attention and action and his innate suspicion of the human tendency to abuse other humans—respectfully engage one another on the current state of race and gender in American screenwriting. The podcast grew out of the controversial casting of Dr. Wong in the "Pickle Rick" episode of Rick and Morty, for which the podcasters won a well deserved Emmy.
