Today’s episode features listener horror stories to tie Season 1 into a neat little bow. From casual racism to Covid-19 verbal abuse, these stories should be told for greater awareness of the issues that the Asian community face.  Announcement: Juna has left the podcast and won’t be returning for Season 2.
