E13: Our Season Finale Goes Off-Script

The Asian-American community is a diverse one. While the conversation in many cities – especially on the East and West Coasts – concerns diversity, inclusion, and representation, Asian-Americans in the Midwest and Middle America are still seeking cultural identity. In this podcast, Stevie Zheng and James He, two Asian-American guys from the Chicago suburbs, talk about their experiences growing up in developing a sense of identity and finding community.
