Welcome to a new episode of Hooked, a podcast where we share the things that we're hooked on. From books and TV shows to snacks and skirts with pockets, we're talking about whatever is helping us deal with life when life is just too much.

Today we're diving into the inspiration for this year's hottest Halloween costumes. That's right -- it's time to talk K-Pop Demon Hunters!

In this week's episode, I'm joined by my friend and friend of the show, Tasha Jun. Tasha is the author of Tell Me the Dream Again: Reflections on Family, Ethnicity, and the Sacred Work of Belonging, and as you'll hear, the perfect person for this conversation.
