Moving Oolong

It’s been over a month since the second COVID-19 vaccine was issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) from the US FDA… but what does an EUA even mean for the future of the vaccine?

On this week’s episode, we’re excited to have Sally’s mom, an experienced vaccine reviewer, provide her personal insight and answer all your questions about the COVID-19 vaccines.

New year, new season!! We’re back with a brand new season and bunch of exciting episodes coming your way!

With each new year we like to take the time to reflect and set our personal goals, but for 2021 we’re mixing it up a bit by writing letters to the future Linda, Sally, and Ming.

If you’re all caught up with Seasons 1 & 2, jump back in and join us for a sweet and sentimental episode.

What do you think you’ll be like in 2029?

Let's get lost in the Asian BerMEDIA Triangle!

For this season's penultimate episode, we're doing another Asian media review, but in a slightly different style. Join us for 3 mini talks where each of us take on one side of the Asian media triangle (shows/dramas, music/k-pop, and books) to recommend and discuss. Linda also shares her study on LGBTQ+ Asian American identity and the role of Kpop.

We all have them, and for some reason we’re embarrassed to talk about them… but this week we’re digging deep to share our own guilty pleasures.

Tune in for a fun episode where we expose our secret interests (country music, anyone?) and try to describe why we’re embarrassed to share.

Previously, we’ve talked about the important role language plays in our culture, but this week we’re really getting into it.

From weekly, Sunday Chinese school to learning Mandarin over Zoom, all three of us have very different language learning experiences and it’s informed how we interact with our families & culture.

We’re one day out from Election Day 2020 and today we add our own voices to the on-going conversation about electoral politics.

Tune in to hear us explore topics like talking politics with family, why Asian Americans are often perceived as politically apathetic, and the limitations of voting. If that’s not interesting enough, our good friend, Sebastian also joins us to share his unique story as a biochem major turned Democratic fundraiser.

As Yo Gotti raps in his 2016 hit, “it goes down in the DM” and indeed it does (sometimes)…

This week we’re finishing our 3-part dating series with a discussion on online dating. We compare dating apps and the apps vs. dating IRL. We also reminisce about conversations we’ve had in the DMs of other apps and how everything seems to be happening online nowadays.

With the COVID-19 pandemic this year, we’ve all become aware of the terms “quarantining” and “social distancing.” But what does that mean when it comes to our dating life 🤔

Camilla brings her perspective to dating as someone who has been quarantining with her significant other since March 👩‍❤️‍👨 Join us for a discussion on co-habitation during the pandemic, long-distance relationships pre-COVID, and how love languages play a role!
