Ep 113 The Brothers Sun - With Stars Alice Hewkin and Jon Xue Zhang!
Tuesday Feb 06, 2024
Tuesday Feb 06, 2024
*Spoiler Free 1st Half* Netflix’s The Brothers Sun started 2024 with a bang! Starring Michelle Yeoh, it is a non-stop adventure from episode one. It is far from simply being a show about fighting a triad war, it has lots of comedic and heartfelt moments. At its core, it is a story about loyalty and family both born into and chosen.
My co-host Katie and I got to spend our lunch hour with two of the stars of the show, Jon Xue Zhang who plays Blood Boots, and Alice Hewkin who plays twin sisters May and June. Both Alice and Jon called in from England where they live. They are both so kind, funny, and insightful. We honestly could have talked to them until the wee hours of the night (London time).
Please watch The Brothers Sun on Netflix and encourage the network to film a second season! You can follow our guests on social media @jonxuezhang and @alicehewkin
Catch up with Katie @katieyowyow on TikTok and IG.

This week we break down Netflix’s hit show Singles Inferno 3. Watching 12 beautiful Korean singles compete for each other’s affection has become a winter tradition for Netflix. Curtis is a little late to the Singles Inferno franchise, watching the show for the first time this year, but it didn’t disappoint. It is very entertaining!
Helping out this week are Corinna, Andrew, and Katie. Corinna and Andrew are Curtis’ former students, and Katie is a content creator who posted some TikToks about Singles Inferno, which is how Curtis found her.
Catch more content from Katie over @katieyowyow on Instagram and TikTok.

Ep 107 Our End of the Year Wrap - Top 5 Episodes of the Year!
Thursday Dec 21, 2023
Thursday Dec 21, 2023
2023 was a really great year for me as a podcaster. This year we uploaded about 50 episodes, all of them special to me in one way or another, so it was hard to boil it down to just the 5 "best." So I let the numbers do the talking and went with the top 5 episodes based on how many people listened to them. I'm joined by my co-host Jumi, to recap some of our most listened-to moments.
Thanks again to all my amazing guests and co-hosts! And special thanks to all of you who listened to one or more episodes!
Write to me and let me know more about you at infatuasianpodcast@gmail.com and follow us over on Instagram @infatuasianpodcast
Hope you're doing great out there! And we'll talk to you soon!
