Really From is a podcast of the band Really From hosted by me, Chris Lee-Rodriguez, where I talk to musicians and artists on identity, culture, and inhabiting white spaces in the music scene.

On this episode, we have Victoria Park! Victoria Park, aka Pictoria Vark, is a songwriter and bassist living in New York and Iowa. Daylighting as a touring bass player for Squirrel Flower, she's opened for Big Thief, Julien Baker, Samia, and more. In our conversation, we talked about connecting with our Asian-American identities, New Jersey, and writing about whatever we want. We also unintentionally started the unofficial Really From Book Club. Disclaimer that we do talk about Christianity in Korea but fail to mention its connection to the colonialism of American missionaries.
