  • Interviewing a Flat Footed Psychic (Final Episode)
    The episode you guys have all been waiting for!!! To finish off this forsaken series, Sofia wraps up the show by interviewing her Flat Footed Psychic friend, Jean Bootan (IG: @jeanbootan). We actually do not go into details as to why or how she is psychic, but actually delve into the topic of Yellow Fever against white supremacy in America. This is the second installment of Yellow Fever discourse on this account, what fun!

  • Overusing the Words "slay" And "pur" With Danielle Dao

    Just finished the first year of college and who else to celebrate this with no other than Danielle Dao (IG: @d4anielledao )! We do not know each other that well, but well enough to discuss insane opinions, share childhood crushes (cartoons included), and talk about whatever (tbh the memory loss is kicking in and I don't remember what we talked about in full detail even though I edited the episode)!!!

  • Cinephiles Review the Academy Museum! ...then talk about Yellow Fever

    Episode 8 is here!

    Renne and Sofia come back from a great day at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures where they review the Hayao Miyazaki exhibit and more!

    Yellow Fever is a hot topic now with the rising popularity of Asian media in Western society. It is definitely something Asian American girls/women struggle with and this episode focuses on Sofia and Renne's experience with this phenomenon. 

    **This podcast episode does cover a more serious topic, but since it was discussed out of spontaneity; there was minimal research. Everything talked about was out of our own memory so do not take this information as a resource, rather a conversation to think from.
