Alex is an Indonesian Canadian living in Canada, studying International Relations. His parents have an interesting background compared to our typical diaspora Asian immigrant parents. Both his parents are Indonesians that were born and raised in Europe that had Alex in Indonesia before moving the whole family to Canada where they live now. 

In the episode, we talked a lot about Alex's experience growing up in an Asian majority area of Canada (Markham) and his unique family background and how that led to some interesting questions and thoughts for him in terms of his identity/culture and his overall "Asian-ness" . We also talked about our thoughts on Subtle Asian Traits and how Alex feels comfortable in the Subtle Asian Traits bubble in terms of his identity as Diaspora Asian. Last, we also talked a lot about Asian geopolitical issues.

WHAT KIND OF ASIAN ARE YOU? PODCAST S1E3 PART 2

Another episode with my good friend Robin (@conroc) where we continued to have deep talks. We talked a lot about mental health, seeking out therapy/professional health to help with figuring out what to do when feeling lost and not having direction in life during our adulthood. This podcast episode was all about feelings and talking about feelings which men in general are pretty bad at doing, so it was nice Robin and I were able to talk about our feelings to each so freely. We also talked about growing up in and Asian family in the west and about being old and how we still got to get out of our comfort zone in order to grow and improve. It was a great conversation, so don't miss out and listen to it! 

We went pretty deep again so make sure to listen to the whole episode. And if you want to follow Robin, check him out on Instagram at @conroc. And if you want to follow me on Instagram, you can at @kyle.lkhhk.

Again thank you so much for listening and supporting the podcast. I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy this episode and make sure to share with your people if you find this entertaining and valuable. Now here is WHAT KIND OF ASIAN ARE YOU? PODCAST S1E3.1 FEATURING ROBIN.

WHAT KIND OF ASIAN ARE YOU? PODCAST S1E3 PART 1. 

I am back with another episode and this is going to be a very very special one. I have my good friend Robin on the podcast this episode to just shoot the shit with me. It was such a good time that we recorded over 3 hours of podcast material. That’s crazy when I usually just record 1 hour at most with my guests. So this is why our recording will be split into 2 parts. And this is part 1 of my conversation with Robin. To give you a brief intro of Robin, he’s a good friend of mine that I came to know from Jack from DIU Podcast. Robin is an all around creative guy that does so much creative stuff. He likes to Bboy, rap, make music, podcast, design, and pretty much anything that allows him to be creative. He is someone all about the feel good vibes and doing dope shit. In part 1 of our conversation we talk a lot about, social media and the good and the bad of it, how we need to not look at everything just on the surface level and be sure to ask questions, being confrontational and standing your ground when white people mess with you, Robin’s childhood where Asians were not cool and what got him into Hip Pop with MC Jin being his inspiration, freestyle battling people at school and how Filipinos are just so trendy all the time.

We went pretty deep and we still have so much to cover in part 2 of our conversation so make sure to stay tuned for that when it drops. And if you want to follow Robin, check him out on Instagram at @conroc. And if you want to follow me on Instagram, you can at @kyle.lkhhk.

Again thank you so much for listening and supporting the podcast. I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy this episode and make sure to share with your people if you find this entertaining and valuable. Now here is WHAT KIND OF ASIAN ARE YOU? PODCAST S1E3.1 FEATURING ROBIN.

I've made it to S1S2! And it's over an hour long! 

In today's conversation, I talked to Nina, a Vietnamese Canadian from the podcast PASS THE POUTINE, a podcast that Nina produces, records, and edits on her own. 

We talked a little about her family's history being refugees in Hong Kong after the Vietnam war, their time living in Canada after immigrating, her experience growing up in Canada not feeling Vietnamese, her time working abroad in Asia, and of course talked about her podcast, PASS THE POUTINE and about the journey of podcasting. 

Throughout our conversation, she keeps dropping gems like:

1. How petty her Asian dad is

2. The Vietnamese Hustle Lifestyle and how Vietnamese Men are like

3. How she ate in the teacher's room during lunch because no one wanted to eat with her

4. How she ended up making friends in high school with Korean international students 

5. Travelling to Korea and Vietnam after she graduated high school at 18

6. Her podcast journey, recording podcasts with strangers in her car 

7. How Asian American men be winning on Tinder in Asia and how it is very easy to get an Asian girlfriend as an Asian American men

8. How she didn't feel Vietnamese growing up as she was like the classic ABG (or if you are old and Canadian, you called them NAMMER GIRLS)

9. Being Vietnamese Canadian

ep 1.2

{We want our kids to watch tv and be like, that Asian actor in there is very normal. It's normalize, it's not like "omg dad, there's an Asian guy!"} - Jack

In part 2 of my conversation with Jack and Gavin of DIU Podcast, we talked about a topic that we talk often about amongst ourselves which is Asian representation in the media.

We talked about how Asian representation in the media was like, how Asian representation in media is right now, and what we hope Asian representation in media would be like in the future. 

We also talked about who is able to tell Asian specific stories and if it even matters who tells it as long as they are good. To end the episode, we recommended some good Asian representation media to check out and also talked about a famous Diaspora Asian. 

Listen and find out who we talked about.

"There are going to be those reminders that you are not one of them. So you can front as much as you want, no one is going to look at you if you are walking down the street. But, don't be fooled, as diaspora kids it's hard to say we belong there as well (Asia)." - Gavin 

It's finally here! Season 1 EP 1 of WHAT KIND OF ASIAN ARE YOU? PODCAST!!!!!!!

In the very first official episode of season 1, I got my good buddies Jack and Gavin from DIU Podcast to join me to have a talk about:

1. Being Asian and do we feel Asian enough as we didn't grow up in the East.
2. Being Diaspora Asian living in the west.
3. What would it really be like if we diaspora kids actually go back to our homelands for good?

This is just part 1 of our conversation as part 2 will come out soon and we talked about Asian representation. You don't want to miss that！
