Hello from a Chinese banquet! (If only…)
0:00 - “주먹만한 얼굴” (tiny face obsession)
2:48 – Reply All
We discuss the story buzzing throughout media: the hosts of the Reply All podcast, while reporting on the exploitative labor practices at Bon Appétit, had their own exploitative, anti-union activism exposed last week. What does this say about class versus race politics and the unionization movement in media? Plus, thoughts on the podcast-industry bubble.
(By the way, we are aware of the irony of talking, on a podcast, about another podcast that got canceled after talking about yet another podcast, so don't bother pointing that out!)
38:15 – “Minari”
Writer/director Isaac Chung’s “Minari,” starring Steven Yeun, has just been widely released. Is it a story about successful US assimilation or migrant ambivalence? Is it a universal or specific Asian-American tale? What is the state of Asian-diaspora storytelling in 2021, and when is the Forever 21 saga going to be made into a television movie?
1:01:00 – Three listener questions
* On ableism in our discussion of Covid-19 and “working women” (from Reena)
* Mixed feelings about the “decolonizing food” movement (from Jackie)
* On academics tweeting about political causes (from Jenny)

Everyone knows flood insurance isn’t the most exciting topic. What this episode presupposes is: maybe it should be?
It’s not difficult to imagine a future in which climate change-fueled storms and floods depopulate our coastal communities. Generations of Louisianians have been moving northward for decades, after all.
But could the rising cost of flood insurance actually drive people away sooner? That’s the question we’re exploring this week. We talk to two experts who explain the history of flood insurance in the United States, where the program is headed, and why flood insurance affordability is a political problem.
Rebecca Elliott is an assistant professor of sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her book is called Underwater: Loss, Flood Insurance, and the Moral Economy of Climate Change in the United States.
Andy Horowitz is an assistant professor of history at Tulane University. His book is called Katrina: A History, 1915-2015.
