Ep 77 Mayly Tao - Your Donut Princess And A Lot More!

When "The Donut King" documentary came out in 2020 it really blew my mind and made me want to know more about the Cambodian families that ran these friendly and delicious donut shops.
Featured in the film is Mayly Tao, who was actually the first person filmmaker Alice Gu spoke with when researching Ted Ngoy, the Donut King.  I came across Mayly on Instagram and couldn’t be happier that she made some time to talk with me.
Mayly is part of California donut royalty and has so many other passions, I think you’ll really enjoy hearing more about her story!
Follow Mayly on Instagram @maylytao and her business ventures @donutprincessla  You can order a donut bouquet or order her book “An American Dream With Sprinkles” at her website https://www.donutprincessla.com  And listen to Mayly’s podcast Short N' Sweet wherever you get your podcasts!
You can watch The Donut King documentary on Hulu and other places.

Side Dish! The Glory pt 1 & 2! With Margo from the Kdramas With Margo Podcast

Hey hey, a bonus episode to listen to on your Friday commute or while you do your weekend chores!  Margo, from K-Dramas with Margo out of France, and I recorded this episode for her podcast way back in March!  I had a lot of fun guesting on her show, and she was kind enough to share this file with me. You should remember Margo, she did an episode with me about the movie Decision to Leave! I figured it’s been a while since we’ve done a K-drama episode, so here you go!
The Glory may be my frontrunner for the best drama of 2023 so far.  It’s a revenge drama that is well-written and superbly acted. I think it is the best drama I’ve seen Song Hye-Kyo in. The rest of the cast is great too.  It’s dark and definitely NOT for young children or the squeamish (trigger warning: torture, domestic violence, and rape).
I hope you enjoy this episode!  If you speak French you can listen to Margo at Kdramas with Margo on most platforms and follow her @margo_dramas on Instagram
Thanks for listening!

Ep 74 Kelvin Han Yee - Hollywood Actor For Over 30 Years!

I heard about Kelvin from my mom growing up.  Kelvin was the first and for a long time, the only Asian American that I knew who chose acting as a career.  He's been in over 100 productions on stage and screen.  Titles like: Nash Bridges, Law and Order, Grey's Anatomy, Entourage, West World, and more recently Partner Track and Beef!  I had such a great time talking about his career and getting his insights on how the industry has changed since the 90's.  He's a professional actor through and through and it's great seeing him continue to create characters on the small and big screen!
Listen to our episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or infatuasian.podbean.com

Ep 72 Gina Chung - Author of Sea Change

Surprise Bonus Episode! We had some time during Spring Break and decided to spend some of it chatting with author Gina Chung, whose debut novel is fresh off the press and available everywhere! It is a lovely tale of a woman named Aurora, Ro to her friends, as she deals with a bit of a quarter-life crisis. Everyone around Ro is going through some sort of big life change, which throws her into a vortex of emotions and indecision. Sea Change has been picked by Barnes and Noble as one of the most anticipated books for this spring, and Entertainment Weekly picked Sea Change as one of the books you need to shake off your winter blues.
Listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts or find us ⁠here on Spotify⁠
You can follow Gina @ginathechung on Instagram or at her website Gena-Chung.com But her book Sea Change wherever you get your books! New York folks, Gina may be at a book store near you when she's touring in April!
