Side Dish #4: Asians in Baseball

Play Ball! The brightest star in American Baseball right now is Japanese pitcher/hitter Shohei Ohtani, but he is far from the first star to play America's pastime.  My friend Justin and I geek out over stats and reminisce about some of our favorite Asian and Asian American baseball players from the past and present.  See if you can answer our trivia questions and I bet you will not know who our honorary Asian is during our Asians Being Awesome segment.
Write in and tell us your favorite Asian baseball player, at Infatuasianpodcast@gmail.com or message us @theinfatuasianpodcast on Instagram or Facebook.  Please leave us a review at Apple Podcasts!  Listen to us wherever you get your podcasts.

Ep 13.1 Preview of Marvel Studio‘s ”The Eternals” *No Spoilers*

Episode 13 Part 1 Our Pre-Eternals No-Spoiler Episode!  We have our favorite comic book fans Brian and Lauren back in our virtual studios to talk about the upcoming Marvel film "The Eternals."  We’ll break down the origins of “The Eternals”, and discuss Chinese American director Chloe Zhao’s vision for the film. We also talk about some of the characters, of course spending a little more time on the three heroes played by Asian actors.  We’ll see the movie next week and break it down for you in Episode 13.2. Don’t miss it!  *Fact Check* During this episode, I misspoke a few times, once I call Kumail Nanjiani’s character “Kango” instead of Kingo.  And I habitually mispronounce President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige’s name… it’s supposed to be pronounced FY-gie, shame on me!
Write to us and let us know how you feel about the upcoming movie at Infatuasianpodcast@gmail.com  Follow us @theinfatuasianpodcast on Instagram or Facebook.  We’d sure love it if you can give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts!  Listen to us wherever you get your podcasts: Spotify, Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and more.

Surprise Mini Pod - Squid Game *No Spoilers... at first*

Trying out something new!  Dropping mini podcasts between our longer ones.  These will be reactions to current things that come out. These will be simpler recordings, and they might be just Curtis, mostly unedited. But for this episode, we bring back our K-Drama buddy Jennifer to talk about the Netflix phenomenon Squid Game.  We don't spoil anything in the first part of the podcast, but about 18 minutes in we start to go over the major plot points, but we'll warn you when the spoilers are coming.
