"Sam Han is one of the most knowledgeable human beings I know personally. An expert in all things cultural, new media, religion, U.S. and East Asia. He’s a 1.5-generation immigrant like myself, who survived in the turbulent boroughs of New York. His brilliant mind got himself admitted to the prestigious Prep for Prep program, which positioned his quest to become a scholar. Now based in Perth, Australia, he came home for a hot second to drop some serious jewels on $6.99 Per Pound. 

If you’re expecting a square academic waxing poetic ‘bout theories that only his square academic colleagues would care, this episode isn’t it. It’s much more action packed, filled with wild references than you can fathom. Aight, tune in.”
