Lifelong Learning: These are topics we knew very little about before researching. Although we didn’t know much about them before, we really learned a lot during the research process and episode creation.
- The History of the Kim Loo Sisters S03E03
- The History of the USS Rizal S03E19
- The History of The Golden Age of Pinoy Hip Hop S03E45
- The History of Guamanian Cuisine S03E26
So Upsetting: These are topics that were upsetting or frustrating to us to create… maybe it was the mistreatment of Asian Pacific Islanders… or maybe it was a particularly painful moment in our history. And really, there are so many of episodes… even the ones on the Tong Wars or the Gold Rush, where we have moments of feeling anger and frustration… but these are the episodes where we feel that anger the entire time.
- The Cleveland School Massacre in Stockton Part of the Most Forgotten Massacres series S03E02
- The History of Bhagat Singh Thind S03E08
- Talking About Righting Wrongs Report and STAATUS Index 2023 S03E30
- The History of Destroying Chinatowns S03E40
Are We Having Fun?: These are episodes where the topic was just fun to do. Maybe it was a little lighter topic or the recording was just fun. These are the interesting but welcome breaks from the heavier topics.
- The History of Chop Suey Fonts S03E18
- The History of Indians and Chinese in Jamaican Music. S03E24
- History of Iconic Asian Candy S3E44
Thought-provoking: We’ve had a lot of conversations. They’re all fun in different ways, but some are particularly thought-provoking. Maybe they’re ones that pushed our thinking. Maybe they’re ones where the interviewee challenged us.
- A Conversation with Dr. Mitchell Maki S03E31
- The History of Redress and Reparations with Special Guest Dr. Mitchell Maki S03E43
- A Conversation with Curtis Chin. S03E39
- A Conversation with Wendy Chin-Tanner S03E48

- Another Conversation with Brad Jenkins S03E09 (not mentioned in the episode, but should also be here)
Attention! Attention!: These are conversations with people who we hope get a lot more attention. Maybe the interviewees in these conversations aren’t national names, but they’re doing great work, and we hope they get more attention.
- A Conversation with Dr. Noel Ramirez of Mango Tree Counseling and Consulting S03E21
- A Conversation with Leslie Li S03E05
- A Conversation with Rev. Lien Shutt S03E32 (not mentioned in the episode, but should also be here)
Fun experiences in conversation… Again, we really enjoy the conversations we have… some of them are more fun than usual. It doesn’t make them better, but we found ourselves laughing a LOT and would love to spend more time talking to them.
- A Conversation with Tahlena Chikami of Bite Me Bambi S03E07
- A Conversation with the Creators of The Paper Tigers Bao Tran, Mike Velasquez, and Yuji Okumoto S03E10
