  • In Disney and Pixar’s latest feature film “Turning Red,” 13-year-old Mei-Lin Lee “poofs” into a giant panda when she gets too excited (which for a teenager is practically ALWAYS).

    It’s the first Disney/Pixar film to be directed by a woman (a Chinese-Canadian to be precise), as well as the first to be helmed by an all-women leadership team.

    So I was thrilled to get the chance to interview Director Domee Shi (who directed Pixar’s 2018 Oscar-winning short “Bao”) and Producer Lindsey Collins (who co-produced their Oscar-winning Wall-E) as part of The MSG Pod “Turning Red” review special. Watch a snippet below and the full episode HERE.

    The MSG Pod is edited and produced by MiMi Aye aka @meemalee.

    Guest stars Domee Shi and Lindsey Collins.

  • The MSG Pod: Episode 008 – James Wong – London Podcast Festival LIVE

    We kick off Season 2 of the MSG Pod with a very special episode. For one night only, MiMi’s co-host was the wonderful Viv Yau from besea.n – Britain’s East and South East Asian Network and their very special guest was professional plant geek, broadcaster and best-selling author James Wong. With topics ranging from Marvel superpowers, desert island essentials, Final Destination movies, and who would win in a fight between a Triffid and an Ent, who knew plants could be so varied, so controversial, and so very, very funny?!

    This live event was held in honour of the U.K.’s first ESEA Heritage Month and was recorded in front of a live studio audience as part of the London Podcast Festival on Sunday 5 September 2021.

    The MSG Pod donated the show proceeds of £190 to Stop ESEA Hate https://gofundme.com/ESEA

  • On the morning of 1 February 2021, democratically elected members of Myanmar's ruling party, the National League for Democracy, were deposed by the Tatmadaw—Myanmar's military. The Tatmadaw proclaimed a year-long State of Emergency, declared power had been vested in Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Min Aung Hlaing and declared the results of the November 2020 general election invalid. President Win Myint and State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi were detained, along with ministers, their deputies and members of Parliament, and other prominent political leaders and activists. The people of Myanmar responded with a country-wide (and creative) Civil Disobedience Movement, uniting all religions and ethnic groups against the military regime. The military in turn have responded with violence and bloodshed. MiMi spoke to an anonymous restaurateur in Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar, about dealing with the devastating effects of both a pandemic and a coup.
