This episode of Gems with Shom features Oliver Wang — writer, scholar, DJ, collector, museum curator, and author.

We explore his lifelong obsession with records — from De La Soul to Cruising J-Town, his book and museum exhibition celebrating Asian American identity through cars, sound, and community.
Oliver reflects on crate digging, writing, and how the stories behind records help us understand who we are.
