Happy podcast birthday!! Politically Asian is officially one year old. Our first episode was last year, April 9th, 2021, so we recorded this episode as an anniversary episode, to reflect on our podcast in a rose, thorn, bud style.

This week we talked with two amazing people Vivi Le (she/her) and Kris Chan (he/they) from Chinatown Community for Equitable Development aka CCED! If you haven't heard of CCED before, check them out on their very active Instagram @ccedla. They do amazing work related to tenant organizing, small business organizing, and general organizing against displacement in LA Chinatown. We talk about Asian art gallery gentrifiers pushing out existing Asian residents in LA Chinatown, how to organize across generations and different ethnicities, and how to define success when organizing efforts and wins can take years! Unfortunately, we had some internet issues while recording so this is about 70% of the original audio, which is why Kris disappears towards the end.

This week, we have Shashank Rao (he/him, @wordsinsankethi) on the pod to discuss Hinduism! Shashank is pursuing a Masters in Divinity at UChicago, where he studies progressive Hinduism frameworks. As East Asians, we aren’t super familiar with more South Asian/Southeast Asian religions and wanted to familiarize ourselves to be inclusive of ALL Asians. Shashank walks us through the basics of Hinduism, the caste system, and how Hindu philosophies can be applied to progressive practices and beliefs. We also serve up some hot takes about Hasan Minhaj, Tik Tok Houses vs. corporate Asian Americans, and tech’s impact on Asian America’s descent into whiteness, and more!  As always, if you like the podcast, give us a 5-star review on Apple or Spotify.

We're back with Season 4! To start things off, we talk with Cookie Duong (she/her, @parisbynightcore on Tik Tok) who is the cofounder of Asian Americans with Republican Parents Support Group on Facebook (10k members), and the Interpreter, an ethnic newsroom that translates English-language articles from credible news outlets into Vietnamese. We talk about the history of the group, why she thinks so many Asian Americans have right-wing parents, and how she put together an impressive 22-slide deck to successfully convince her dad to note vote for Tr*mp in 2020!

This is the last episode for Season 3! In this episode, we talk about Asian American data disaggregation happening in New York, Eric Adams' rocky start as Mayor, and some Ivy League racism! We dive into this more in the episode, but just because a professor teaches at an Ivy League and has a resume that is most Asian parents' wet dream does not mean that professor will be progressive and anti-racist.

This week it's just us, but there's so much to talk about. We start by talking about the China Initiative, and how the first person found guilty of being a "Chinese spy" is a WHITE GUY HARVARD PROFESSOR (lmao). We then go into Joe Biden's new AANHPI advisory group (Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander) and how we feel about this roster, which includes Daniel Dae Kim. We wrap it up unpacking how we feel about all these celebrities coming out of nowhere who are making China their whole personality.

This week we talk with Jenny G. Zhang about her Identity Fraud piece on Gawker! We're not talking Identity Fraud in the traditional sense (e.g. scamming elderly folks for their SSN), but in a different way involving POC who use race as disingenuous defense when they're called out for doing something bad. Think corrupt Asian landlords who, when called out for being shitty towards their tenants, deflect criticism by saying we're being racist because they are Asian (??). We also talk about white people and POC reactions to Jenny's piece, as well as some of her earlier work.

This week we talk with the hilarious Young Kim (@youngqim on Tik Tok/IG, @oldqim on Twitter)! Young (he/him) is an Asian American content creator who regularly goes viral for his Tik Toks on the Asian/East Asian experience, some of which involve political and historical commentary. Aaron accidentally calls out one of Young's sponsors in his hot take for Hot Take Hot Pot, Gerrie stirs the hot pot with Sandra Oh, and Young talks to us about his time on Tik Tok educating/correcting K-Pop stans and Koreaboos who try to explain Korean culture to him.

Thu is the youngest ever Executive Director and the first Vietnamese American to serve in this role. Founded in 1973, OCA is a 501(c)(3) national member-driven nonprofit based in Washington, D.C. with 50+ chapters and affiliates across the U.S. They advance the social, political, and economic well-being of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders through policy work and educational programming.

This week we talk with May Vutrapongvatana, Esq. (Twitter: @MayVutraETC, IG: @mayvutrapongvatana). May passed the bar exam and used to be a lawyer (hence the Esq.), but now she's an organizer for VOCAL NY (@VOCALNewYork)! VOCAL-NY is a statewide grassroots membership organization that builds power among low-income people directly impacted by HIV/AIDS, the drug war, mass incarceration, and homelessness.

This week we talk with Kai (@tankiepilled), who is the co-founder of All Power Books (@allpowerbooks), a bookstore and community space for the people! Fun fact for this episode, Kai is actually a pseudonym for our guest because they’ve been arrested at protests, which we thought was cool because it shows they are extremely down for the cause. We talk with Kai about the logistics of starting a bookstore, what community members use All Power’s space, what kind of books the bookstore offers, and more. Tune in to hear what books Kai recommends reading if you wanna dip your toes into learning more about socialism, Karl Marx, etc.! -- WHAT'S POLITICALLY ASIAN PODCAST?

This week we talk to advertising creative and conceptual artist, Sai He (@replysai)! Sai's worked with many big-name clients like Old Spice, Netflix, Jet Blue, and the New Zealand Transport Agency. He's also the person behind the popular ad industry meme account @dongdraper. We talk to Sai about companies that suddenly became woke with their ads during the George Floyd protests, and whether any of those companies are keeping up with their promises for diversity and equity a year later. We also discuss how Sai got into advertising, whether brands and agencies should even have morals, and some notable ad drama related to social justice movements.

This week’s episode was so funny and therapeutic it literally had us in tears. We talk to Kalaya'an (Kala) Mendoza (he/him or they/them), a Queer, Filipino and Hard of Hearing human rights defender, street medic, and community safety & mutual protection trainer. Kala currently serves as the Director of US Programs at Nonviolent Peaceforce. Nonviolent Peaceforce protects civilians in violent conflicts using unarmed protection strategies.

The 2020 Census data is out, baby! This week we talked with Julie Kim (@julieaekim), who was the Queens Borough Lead for the NYC Census 2020 and is also the cofounder of the Asian American Feminist Collective (@aafcollective)! We break down how the Census is not just a fun tally of the US population, but a tool that determines how much money is allocated to different states. cities, and counties every decade. Fun (potentially depressing) fact: due to the pandemic, this was the first time the Census went digital. Julie also talks about how she got started with organizing and teaches us the term grass-top organizing!

This week we’re talking with Esther Tseng (@estarla, LA Times, Eater, Bon Appétit, Time Out) , a food journalist who writes about food and culture and food justice. We talk with Esther about food access and income inequality, outrage against white chefs inventing “superior” Asian food (e.g. Lucky Lee’s, Congee Karen), and how to move from outrage to action when seeing these pieces designed to make us mad.

In this week’s episode, we have Tim Phan (@timothy_phan) who was a Tech Community Analyst for the Democratic National Committee and an Organizer for the Democratic Party of Orange County!

In this week’s episode, we have Naib Mian (@naibmian), a Multimedia/Interactives Researcher and Producer at The New Yorker, and a member of the New Yorker Union's (@newyorkerunion) Bargaining Committee. Earlier this summer, in June, their union averted a strike and successfully negotiated several key terms, including a salary floor of $60,000 and annual raises, after 2.5 years of back and forth. (Major congrats and solidarity forever.)

What does the future look like for Asian American politics? Where do we go from here? Do things ever move forward or are we going to be obsessed with making movies about rich Asian people forever?

Everyone’s eating out again in NYC, so we brought on our culinary friend and very first Asian guest, Sean Liu (@msg.kitchen) to talk about the restaurant industry! Having grown up in a kitchen, Sean talks about his culinary experience working in his parents' Chinese restaurant, the concept of “authentic” ethnic food, and trends in New American cuisine.

A new ride-sharing app just dropped and we are HYPE. Co-op Ride is an app made for drivers and owned by drivers. Many of New York City's taxi drivers are Asian immigrants, so of course we had to talk about this.

The last few weeks have been filled with drama, and with a cast of characters over 20 candidates long (and two Asian candidates!), there’s so much going on!

Vaxxed hot American summer is here! As vaccinations go up across the country, our Instagram feeds return to normal, and by that, we mean white girls are taking the trips to find themselves in Southeast Asia that they didn’t take last year. In this episode, we talk about passports and visas, what countries have the strongest passports and what privileges they give their holders, and four kinds of white tourists to watch out for! Many Asian countries have very strong passports, allowing for the Asian diaspora to travel to many countries across the world.

In this episode, we put the PI in AAPI and talk about Pacific Islanders! So many times, Asian Americans will use the term AAPI in their organizing activities or DEI initiatives, but they never include any Pacific Islanders or Native Hawaiians, so we are trying to change that. We share how embarrassingly little we knew before researching, talk about the island nations, and discuss the history of Hawaii and its many colonizers, some of whom... aren’t white?!
