Welcome to Episode 1 of Season 2!
Happy Lunar New Years! We promised to delve a little deeper into our Asian American life this year, so let’s dive in! First off, Gong Xi Fa Cai! Did you know that celebrations for the Lunar New Year can last up to 15 days? Today, we’ll be discussing our family traditions during this time of the year and what kind of activities each day might consist of. We’ll touch on the other lunar holidays as well, although there’s a lot to list! But most importantly, we also explore our roles during these times and discuss passing these traditions to future generations. We got you covered!

Welcome to Episode 17! As we close off our first season of Dirty by 30, we wanted to reflect on some of past episodes and our feelings of the past year. 2020 was a tough one as everyone knows, with COVID-19, BLM protests, the division of our native country...but lets not forget the positive things that can also happen in life. One of them was biting the bullet and starting this podcast with each other. So guys, join us as we close off 2020, reminiscing the good and the bad, and head towards 2021!

Season 2 Episode 2: Asian Families and Career Expectations

Welcome to Episode 2 of Season 2!
You’ve probably heard of the 4 standard career paths that most Asians shoot for? It is usually along the lines of Science & Engineering, Medicine, Business, or Law. We fit into that mold pretty well -- Candice is currently an Engineer in a tech start-up, whereas Jake is in a lab for a science startup. (Because Bay area and all their startups, am I right?) But did we always aspire to get into these stereotypical “Asian” careers? Did our parent’s expectations shape our career paths? Do we even like our current career path? Let’s find out!
