  • S2 EP 2: All about yellow fever (ft. Courtney Hou)

    Today, we’ve brought on our good friend Courtney Hou (@hounestly), a fellow UVA alumna, to talk about yellow fever, but not the viral kind (we don’t need any more viruses in 2020). Should dating apps have the option to sort by race? How would you feel if a guy told you “you’re just my type”? Join us in our discussion about our opinions on yellow fever and getting catcalled. Hope you enjoy! 💛

  • EP 11: Discussing toxic masculinity (ft. Kelvin Huynh)

    We CANNOT believe it’s already time for the last episode of our first season! Thank you to everyone and anyone who has listened to any of our episodes, left us a rating or review, or messaged us to let us know your thoughts on the podcast- your love and support truly means the world to us 💛

    Today’s episode was definitely one of our favorites to record, and we’ll be featuring our very FIRST guest and our good friend,  Kelvin Huynh. While we are both Asian-American women, we didn’t want to forget about our male listeners, and so we thought we’d end the season with some male representation! Join us today as we discuss the imposing topic of toxic masculinity. Why does it exist? How do we stop perpetuating these toxic stereotypes? Hope you enjoy this episode! 💛

    See you all in a month for Season 2! Feel free to let us know any future topics you would like for us to discuss.
