Ep 110 The Fetishist with Kayla Min Andrews

The Fetishist is a book written over 10 years ago by Katherine Min.  Unfortunately, Katherine passed away in 2019, and it was left unpublished. The book has just now been published posthumously and is available for you to read.  One of the people who made sure that this book got out into the world is Katherine’s daughter Kayla Min Andrews.  It was a real joy to speak with Kayla, and learn more about her mom and the book!
If you’re in Seattle (1/18/24), San Francisco (1/22/24), LA, Asheville, Chapel Hill, or Boston.  You can meet Kayla in person during her book tour!  See Kayla’s Instagram @kaylaminandrews or her website https://kaylaminandrews.com/ for more details.  And if you’d like to learn more about Katherine Min, you can find more at https://katherinekmin.com/

Ep 107 Our End of the Year Wrap - Top 5 Episodes of the Year!

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!

Ep 106 Picking Our Favorite Chinese Foods Part Two!

We picked up where we left off last week with our top 5 Chinese dishes/foods! In this part of the episode we got lots more cooking tips from Bill, Kaitlin, and Kat!  We spent almost two hours making 5 picks each, but we could have gone even longer if we hadn't gotten so hungry!
Thanks to my guests:  Kat Lieu from @subtleasian.baking, Bill and Kaitlin from @thewoksoflife, and Lingjie from @worstasianpod  They were all so knowledgeable and fun to hang out with, I hope we can break bao's together in person some day!
Go pre-order Kat's new book Modern Asian Kitchen (on Amazon), and go visit all my guests' sites and social media!!!

Ep 106 Ranking Our Favorite Chinese Foods!

I gave my guests an impossible task.  I asked Kat from Subtle Asian Baking, Lingjie from the Worst Asian Pod, and Bill and Kaitlin from The Woks of Life to pick their top 5 Chinese dishes and place them on tiers! It was a difficult task, but we had a lot of fun doing it!
This episode came out to be almost 2 hours long, so I'm splitting it into two parts.  Part Two will hopefully be released later this week.
Please bear with our less-than-perfect Chinese pronunciations and our lean towards Southern Chinese cuisine.  I KNOW we left off a lot of your favorites so perhaps we'll have to do a round 2... or more in the future! 
Thanks to my guests: Kaitlin, Bill, Kat, and Lingjie!  Please follow them at their socials @worstasianpod @subtleasian.baking and @thewoksoflife. Preorder Kat's new book, Modern Asian Kitchen, on Amazon.  And The Woks of Life Cookbook is a must for anyone who loves cooking Chinese food!

Ep 105 Loveboat Taipei! Speaking with Author and Producer Abigail Wen!

We are speaking with Abigail Wen today.  She’s the author of the Loveboat, Taipei series.  Book 3 just came out last month, it’s called Loveboat, Forever!  It is based on Abigail and other’s experiences at the Taiwan Study Tour trip that many people took in the 80’s and 90’s. It's called the "Loveboat" because, while touted as a study tour, it's actually more like a 6 week party in Taipei!
Get any of Abigail's books wherever you get books. You can watch a film version of the first book, called Love in Taipei, now streaming on Paramount+ as well as AppleTV, Amazon, YouTube, etc...   
If you're near San Francisco, you can MEET Abigail on Sunday 12/10/23 at Book Passage in the Ferry Building starting at 11AM.  To find out more about Abigail and see other tour stops you can go to https://www.abigailhingwen.com/ or follow her on social media @abigailhingwen
