  • Episode 22: We Are Anti-pedophile. Can I say that?
    An episode from the archive. In this episode, we add our two cents into the discussion regarding the Netflix movie release "Cuties" and the the exploitation of children in both Korea and Japan. This isn't a deep dive. We're barely scratching the surface on this very topical issue. However, getting the options of two black women on a movie made by a black women? It will be very interesting to say the least.

  • Episode 12: Keep Yo Hands to Yourself and Stay Outta Jail
    We finally wrap up our accidental 3 part series with the penal system! We give our thoughts and facts (as accurately as possible) for the US, Japan, and Korea.

  • Episode 10: We Don't Have Gun Control Let's Be Honest People
    In this episode we discuss the latest school shooting in Texas, and school shootings in America in general. We explore major incidents thus far, bullying in both the States, Korea, and Japan. Korean and Japanese schools are far from perfect but are they really safer than American schools simply because of guns? Obviously, the question about gun laws did come up but it's a simple as it seems. How can we stop, if not slow down, this growing trend of kids killing kids?
    WARNING: Nikki yells throughout this episode. Averi doesn't fix it.

About The Pineapple Dolls

From the publisher's feed

We are two best friends who appreciate Asian culture. Nikki is geared towards Korea, while Averi's more into Japan. Together, we'll both go beyond just loving the music and dramas. We'll go beyond already mentioned countries that we like, and shine a light on other Asian countries that tend to be overlooked. We are not here to only entertain, but to inform those who want to broaden their Asian palettes. Regardless of our respect for all things Asian, we don't put aside where we come from as two black women.
