Ep 185 Ada Tseng Author of Breaking Into New Hollywood: A Career Guide To A Changing Industry

Are you or someone you know curious about how to start a career in Hollywood? While working at the LA Times Ada Tseng and her co-author Jon Healey interviewed dozens of people from all parts of the entertainment industry. This book is a collection of chapters outlining most of the jobs involved with film and television production. As a TV and movie geek, I found it really interesting! Where was this book when I was a drama major in the 90s?

Ep 184 Part 1 A K-Watch Club with Isabel and Lingjie

We had some free time this summer, so I suckered some podcast friends to watch some shows with me. Lingjie from @worstasianpod and Isabel from @proudlyasian were game to be part of a watch club. We each recommended a show for the others to watch, and a few months later, we jumped on a Zoom call to give our thoughts!
The shows picked were: Love After Divorce Season 4 (2023), Karma (2025), and Signal (2016). We ended up recording for almost 2 hours, so I split it up into 2 episodes. Part one will have Love After Divorce. Come back again on Thursday for the part where we discuss Karma and Signal. I think we all liked the picks, so give them a watch and let us know what you think!
Thanks, of course, to my guests Isabel and Lingjie for helping me with this episode! Listen to Proudly Asian and the Worst Asian Podcast wherever you get podcasts. 
I hope you're having a great summer and talk to you soon!

Ep 182 From NPR to Proxy: Yowei Shaw’s Next Podcast Chapter

You might know Yowei Shaw from the NPR podcast Invisibilia, and if you do, then you know that most of the Invisibilia team got laid off in 2023. Since then, Yowei has been on a mission to continue telling stories that explore emotions and life's conundrums. This mission has turned into her new show, Proxy, an independent podcast that Yowei created, produces, funds, and hosts. 
My new summer intern, Lauren, and I had a really fun time chatting with Yowei about her love for Philadelphia, her ups and downs as a podcaster, as well as her YAO.
