August 23, 2021 17: The 2020 Census Said No More White People feat. Julie Kim (Queens Borough Lead for the NYC Census 2020, Asian American Feminist Collective)
The 2020 Census data is out, baby! This week we talked with Julie Kim (@julieaekim), who was the Queens Borough Lead for the NYC Census 2020 and is also the cofounder of the Asian American Feminist Collective (@aafcollective)! We break down how the Census is not just a fun tally of the US population, but a tool that determines how much money is allocated to different states. cities, and counties every decade. Fun (potentially depressing) fact: due to the pandemic, this was the first time the Census went digital. Julie also talks about how she got started with organizing and teaches us the term grass-top organizing! Tune in to hear how we’re going to celebrate white people no longer being the plurality in Queens!

August 16, 2021 16: Lucky Lee's, Congee Karen, and Other White Chefs Inventing "Superior" Asian Food feat. Esther Tseng (LA Times, Eater, Bon Appétit)
This week we’re talking with Esther Tseng (@estarla, LA Times, Eater, Bon Appétit, Time Out) , a food journalist who writes about food and culture and food justice. We talk with Esther about food access and income inequality, outrage against white chefs inventing “superior” Asian food (e.g. Lucky Lee’s, Congee Karen), and how to move from outrage to action when seeing these pieces designed to make us mad. Give us a listen to hear what we think the next food to be Columbused is and leave a review!

July 26, 2021 14: Unions Work, Here's Proof feat. Naib Mian (The New Yorker)
In this week’s episode, we have Naib Mian (@naibmian), a Multimedia/Interactives Researcher and Producer at The New Yorker, and a member of the New Yorker Union's (@newyorkerunion) Bargaining Committee. Earlier this summer, in June, their union averted a strike and successfully negotiated several key terms, including a salary floor of $60,000 and annual raises, after 2.5 years of back and forth. (Major congrats and solidarity forever.) Tune in to get a very awesome inside look at union organizing and the power of collective action, like how they coordinated a massive salary transparency bomb in a work Slack channel! Also, if you're reading this, New Yorker, hire more Asian staff!

Everyone’s eating out again in NYC, so we brought on our culinary friend and very first Asian guest, Sean Liu (@msg.kitchen) to talk about the restaurant industry! Having grown up in a kitchen, Sean talks about his culinary experience working in his parents' Chinese restaurant, the concept of “authentic” ethnic food, and trends in New American cuisine. Plus, he talks about what he’d do differently in his future restaurant to make sure his workers are paid fairly!

June 14, 2021 9. Drivers Strong Together: NYC Taxi Drivers (Many of Whom Are Asian) Build Their Own App!
A new ride-sharing app just dropped and we are HYPE. Co-op Ride is an app made for drivers and owned by drivers. Many of New York City's taxi drivers are Asian immigrants, so of course we had to talk about this. In this episode, we talk about the history of NYC taxi drivers, how Uber and Lyft disrupted them, and how the Drivers Cooperative is here to disrupt Uber and Lyft. If you love the episode, please leave us and your local rideshare driver a 5-starred review.
