hAAPI hour with melissa cho

i recorded this episode in my car under the sweltering 100-degree heat—means that this episode is coming in HOT.

thank you all for waiting. if you follow me online, you'll probably know what i've been up to. i left LA (after 7 years) and moved to San Francisco two months ago for an exciting full-time job. life has been going quite well. i obviously can't cover everything through an online post, so i thought i'd do a big fat juicy update here.

looking forward to being back and pumping out more fun episodes in the Bay. thanks for being here and don't be a stranger online. see ya soon.

cheers 乾杯,

When he’s not working his STEM day job (she’s pretty and smart), Jake turns everyday finds into fabulous fashion statements. He started taking free sewing classes at a public library in Atlanta in 2020, and what began as simple alterations quickly blossomed into a passion for experimental, stylish designs.

Be sure to follow @haapihourpod to see how Jake transforms a dusty men’s blouse into a chic Danish top for moi.

Definitely my most interactive interview so far 😅.

Blue Kim captured America’s attention as a fiery contestant on CBS’s hit summer reality show Big Brother. Although she didn't come out with $750,000, Blue positively looks back at her reality show days as a warm-up for what's to come. Join me and Blue for hAAPI hour as we have an epic makeup girls sesh, while chatting about how she got scouted for the show, readjusting to regular life after being trapped indoors for 100 days, not being a “coquette girl” when it comes to fashion, and her thoughts on her hatersssssss.

I finally met Hannah Montana, and she's actually a Type 3 Enneagram Capricornic first-daughter Korean.

Meet Angelica Song, full-time tech girlie at YouTube and full-time content creator, and a chronic hustler who purchased her first home in Los Angeles at the age of 24. How the **** did she do that?!!?! Listen up.

Answering your questions and sharing recent fun happenings in my newest solo episode. I've been going to a lot of events the past 2 months and meeting new people (storytime in this episode), all while being sober and going by myself. Also sharing updates on my ongoing quest to find a full-time job in this highly saturated creative job market, grrrr. And someone asked me to talk about Jojo Siwa, so your wish is my command. Let's catch up.
