It’s the penultimate episode, ahh! There’s no better guest to go through all the feelings that come from it than poet, writer, and author of the widely acclaimed book Minor Feelings, Cathy Park Hong! We talk to her about life after writing the most essential book of our generation on Asian Americans, and how her writing and research have informed her activism in recent years. Cathy also gives advice for practicing artists, writers, and people who are getting in tune with new creative endeavors. What a wonderful way to start wrapping things up!

Feeling Asian goes back to school this week with Dr. Russell Jeung (Professor at San Francisco State University, Founder of Stop AAPI Hate) and Anuradha Vikram (Curator and Faculty at UCLA, Co-Founder of Stop DiscriminAsian)! We asked each of our guests to come into the episode with an event or timeline in Asian American history that has become misunderstood or revised along the way – something that would surprise many first-year students, to put it simply. We think you’ll walk away from this one with some spicy topics for the next big family reunion lol! Please share this episode and as always, we appreciate your support on Patreon: (patreon.com/FeelingAsian). Happy learning!

Andrew Thomas Huang is a visual artist and film director known for his music videos for FKA twigs, Björk, Atoms for Peace, and more. We loooove his video for FKA twigs’ “Cellophane,” which resurfaced last year amid the hype over Lil Nas X’s video for “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name),” much of which was seemingly heavily lifted from Huang’s work. We dive into the comparisons, which leads to a larger discussion on who gets fed vs who makes the decisions in the creative industrial complex. Also – this is the cool part – we talk about finding inspiration in queer folklore and the importance of collaboration. Follow Andrew at @andrewthomashuang and weep while watching “Cellophane”!

A guest so nice, we bring ‘em on twice! Bohan Phoenix is back on the pod with us this week in the afterglow of his debut album release! The last time we spoke was in the thick of COVID-19 (weird vibes!); this time around we talk about feeling more uncertain than ever about your career after dropping a debut album, the expectations versus reality of it all, jewelry mishaps, and more. We also ask Bohan about NFTs because we know they have a rep of sorts, but he’s found a way for them to help his art. Follow Bohan at @bohanphoenix, put ‘City Are For Fools’ into rotation, and enjoy this episode! Don’t forget that we are on Patreon for more bonus content: patreon.com/FeelingAsian
