April 27, 2021 Anime + Big Ed Senpai
While a deadly virus was sweeping the globe in early 2020, another vile creature had wormed its way into everyone’s mind. Edward Allen Brown, popularly known as Big Ed, made his big break in February 2020 when he joined the cast of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days alongside his [at the time] partner Rose.

February 21, 2021 Our Asian-American Experience
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global health emergency. Stemming from Wuhan, China, Asians became the scapegoat of the pandemic and the world began to witness the resurgence of “yellow peril,” or the fear of Asians. This xenophobia has continued into 2021 and led to many incidents of hate crimes against Asians.
In this podcast, the Vu sisters recount racist and/or prejudiced encounters they had in their past and describe their Asian-American experience.
