Customer Reviews
Food connects us, our history shapes us
While making tacos I was listening to the Donut King episode of Reel Asian Podcast. A really good listen on the history why donut boxes are pink and the rise and fall of Uncle Ted’s empire.
Renée Ya and host Raymond Luu weigh in on nostalgia, political climates and tensions. Some very good commentary and, funny enough, they also talk about taking photos of food and adapting to change and technology with small family owned generational businesses (as I take a photo of my food). Ya and Luu both have great voices and the episode is well paced with good chemistry between the hosts. Definitely worth a listen.
So glad I was recommend this podcast on the Asian American experience in media through Asian American voices. Looking forward to catching up on more episodes.
Insightful and addicting!
Given the explosion of podcasts these days, it’s hard to find a really good one. This is one of them! As an Asian American, this podcast caught my eye right away, especially as someone deeply interested in how to tackle the lack of Asian American representation in pop culture. Renee, Alan, Raymond, and Brian do an awesome job of keeping me engaged and it’s one of the podcasts that just gives you “good feels.”
Great Think Pieces!!
I’ve listened in on every episode in one sitting! Looking forward to more!
