Moving Oolong

Surprise!! Did you miss us? When we got the opportunity to record together in person for the first time in over a year, we couldn’t say no (even if we’re still technically on a summer break).

Enjoy this mini-sode #65.5 where we share our recent shot girl summer activities 🌞🥵 Talk soon!

🎉 We’ve finally made it to the end of season 3! For our 65th episode and the last one for a few weeks, we answered all your burning (random) questions from Instagram.

We talk interior design 🛋, interacting with our clones 👯‍♀️, and Ming’s five-year plan for her future 💍👀

Don’t fret! We’ll be back after a short summer break 🌞

If you’re reading this right now, you most likely have some form of social media and you’ll most definitely find this week’s episode interesting.

From Instagram finstas to professional Twitter accounts, in this episode we try to tackle the double-edged sword that is social media.

This week, our friend Rakha returns for a solo guest episode to share his experience applying for and being sworn in as a US citizen 🇺🇸

As an ex-Indonesian citizen, he shares what motivated him to apply for US citizenship, his parents’ reaction, and how his life has changed since.

This week we’re in the mood to talk all things supernatural, mythological, and theological!

In this episode, Sally prompts us to share our favorite mythological creatures 🐉 , discuss whether we believe in life after death, and general musings about what real aliens look like 👽 🦠

Plus two of us grew up in a Christian household, so we couldn’t help bringing up theological thoughts on Jesus and historical context to legendary figures.

It’s just us 姐姐 on this week’s episode...

Did you know that all three of us are older sisters or jie jie (姐姐)? We all have experienced being the older kid, role model to our younger sibling, and parents’ first pancake 🥞🙃

On this ep we share our stories as the oldest child in the family and compare thoughts on older sibling stereotypes (are we all type A? Anxious and held to a higher standard?)

Happy APAHM! We’re excited to have Vinh Dang on this week to share how he went from ignoring his Vietnamese culture in high school to leading a workshop on Asian American representation to volunteering as the director of communications at ECAASU (in addition to his regular ol’ 9-5).

Vinh also shares his views on boba liberalism, gives advice on getting involved in Asian American advocacy efforts post-grad, and spills what it’s like to be Linda’s boss.

Check out ECAASU’s podcast, Community Echos, co-hosted by Vinh!

What do bamboo, goatman, and Yahoo Answers have in common?? They were all top of mind for this random, never-ending weekly update episode!

A little birdie 🐦 told us that some listeners’ favorite segment is the weekly update so we decided to keep it going, all episode long.

What did you think of this casual episode? Let us know if you want more mini chats interspersed throughout future seasons!

Feeling a little lost? On this week’s episode, we are joined by the wonderful, Jessica Lin, owner of Lost As Jess!

Architect by day and jewelry designer by night, Jessica shares how she she felt “lost” in between jobs as a recent grad, but was inspired by the prosperity knots hanging in Chinatown. From there, she turned to her childhood of crafting and her design background to start her very own jewelry shop.

Tune into our latest episode while shopping her beautiful East Asian-inspired designs @LostAsJess on Etsy!

Sally’s recent visit with her Grandpa and hearing his story of living in China inspired us to explore more of our family’s history this week, including long-distance love stories 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 and what motivated our parents to immigrate.

🧬 Family history is a little more difficult for Ming to share, but keep listening to hear her DNA ancestry results... you may or may not be surprised 🧬
