  • LIVE @ ISO Radio - Squid Game

    If you’re not watching Squid Game, where you at? In honour of what’s become Netflix’s top show across the globe, we got on @ISO.radio to talk about our favourite theories from the show (please say the cop brother is still alive), our favourite characters and why the popularity into k-drama/k-film helps humanize and give more insight into cultures beyond to scope of Hollywood. Also, our snack of the episode: dried squid.

  • Welcome to Korea Week with Korean Culture Centre

    Why does representation matter? It’s opening a door into understanding culture, stories and humanity across the world. This episode, we’re talking about #KoreaWeek.

    In partnership with Korean Cultural Centre (@kcccanada) and Canada’s Embassy of the Republic of Korea we’re super excited to share what they’ve done to share Korean culture with the diaspora and beyond, starting with the craze of K-dramas and Korean cinema. Joined by Korean Cultural Centre Director Sungeun Lee and program coordinator Shine Jang, we talk about everything from the impact of Squid Game, Minari and Parasite to how the Korean diaspora is working to share and retain their culture and history in Canada.

    Join in on the Korea Week's events like the Ottawa Korean Film Festival, where you can watch "Cities of Korea" running until Oct 13th. More information, visit canada.korean-culture.org.

  • Asian Fishing and the Creepy Case of Oli London
    What does creepy, problematic cultural appropriation look like and why is it harmful for the community? This week we look at the case of Oli London, a white blogger (??) whose undergone more than a dozen surgeries to emulate BTS’s Jimin and more recently, told his fans that he identifies as “korean.” 
    But taking “asian aesthetic” features and parts of our culture without understanding the complexities and generational trauma in identity erases our voices and beings and keeps our identity at a shallow level. We also dive into asian fishing, and how problematic appropriation can also come from racialized communities. (cough, cough, JAY PARK)

  • In Conversation with Alex Abad-Santos on Corporate Pride Celebrations
    From rainbow t-shirts at target to banks touting their #PrideMonth ads, it’s getting a little cringe. We talk all things pop culture and performative allyship/branding with Vox Senior Culture Writer Alex Abad-Santos who has used his platform as a writer and social media maven to poke fun at the hollow attempts of inclusivity. Also lots more on Asian parental expectations, breaking out of boxes and speaking up.

They aim to provide a safer space and programs for the Asian LGTBQ+ community to explore identity, receive safe sex education and learn more about allyship. You can head to @acastoronto to learn more about the programs or give a listen for drop-in sessions for both LGBTQ+ people and allies this June.

  • Asian LGBTQ+ Identity and Pride with Matt Brooks
    Stepping out of a predominantly white, heteronormative community as a gay, mixed-race filipino man in Oregon, Matt Brooks often felt he had to hide who he was to fit in. But after leaving high school, he knew he wasn’t being authentic to himself. He moved to LA and found is chosen family — ones who led him to also find his calling working as a digital creator and social media voice proudly learning about his identity on the way. 
    The journey has led him to work on campaigns for grindr, E!, Youth to the People, making them a more inclusive space. Now he’s finding his footing back in advocacy, pushing for change with Folx Health, an organization working to provide health to queer and trans people. In this episode, we get into the unlearning, shame to freeness of learning to survive and thrive as who we are. 
    Resources shared by Matt in this episode include: Changing the Game on Hulu, Raquel Willis, Chase Strangio and Fran Tirado.
