Jason Speaks
No guest this week so I talk to you straight from the heart and share some of my thoughts. I discuss skills I picked up during this 1+ year of stay at home quarantine. I call them COVID skills. I talk about my experience podcasting over the last 3 months and where I plan to go with The Linsider. Finally, I share what I mean when I say that media and entertainment coverage and representation of Asia and Asian Americans is full of stereotype, tropes, click-bait and fear mongering. I'd love to hear from you so shoot me a message!
