Bonus ep!
This past week, the Asian Arts Initiative in Philly (AAI) hosted a short conversation about the question of representation in media and politics.
AAI’s exec. director Anne Ishii (@ill_iterate) MCed the event, which featured myself (Andy) and Bakirathi Mani, a fellow academic in the region (Swarthmore college, check out her new book Unseeing Empire, with the discount code E20EMPR).
We talk:
* Kamala and Andrew
* south and east Asian comparative diasporas
* Asian versus Asian American studies
* why the search for representation is always just a little bit “off”?
(there’s also a Youtube version of the in-person conversation here!)

On the Gist, what happens when a conservative pundit and a famous quarterback make a podcast: Bolling with Favre.
In the interview, it’s been a lonely year, and an especially difficult 10 months to try and find love. But Logan Ury’s new book, How to Not Die Alone just may hold the key. Putting psychology first, Ury seeks to give readers a guide to finding and keeping relationships. Spoiler alert: Stop focusing on the spark! Ury explains an approach to dating that is more psychology than yenta, the non-fluffiness of behavioral science, and what goes on in a “Love Lab.” Ury is the co-founder of the Irrational Lab at Google, and is the Director of Relationship Science for the dating app Hinge.
In the spiel, three horrible truths and a half terrible truth about Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

In celebration of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday we begin 2021 with an important conversation about one of the most iconic and impactful writings in American history. As we approach the anniversary of George Floyd’s death and consider the tectonic shifts in America since the tragedy, we ask you to re-read Dr. King’s letter and we talk about its prophetic wisdom and its application to our realities of race in America today. In partnership with FAMU Cooperative Extension Program, Save One Life Foundation, Black History Month Festival, 100 Black Men of Tallahassee and Legacy Taste of the Garden we have an extraordinary opportunity to hear from young black students in their own words about their view of the legacy of King's letter and message in today's world. Program facilitated by Betsy Ouellette Zierden.

In the interview, what is In & Of Itself? The new Hulu special by Frank Oz and Derek DelGaudio is so much more than just a made-for-TV version of DelGaudio’s live show. As creators, Oz and DelGaudio discuss the stigma of illusion, an art form which relies on sleight of hand and audience participation, and talk about how they were able to bring to life their special for people sitting at home. Both Oz and DelGaudio elucidate the assumptions around their respective careers, professions which have historically been viewed as sitting lower on the performing arts totem pole, and urge viewers to refrain from taking things simply on face value. In & Of Itself is available now on Hulu.
In the spiel, understanding the difference between lies and delusions.
