04/01/21 • 65 min

Do you consider yourself anti-racist? In this week’s episode we talk about the terrifying increase in anti-asian hate crimes with our co-host Natalie and a very special guest Audrey Lew, a music photographer currently at Idobi Radio. Audrey and Natalie open up about how the pandemic has affected them personally and their community and how it feels living in a world where Asian people are being repeatedly attacked. We also discuss how people can be better allies and why it’s so important to do everything we can to help Asian people. Please listen and do what you can to help.

EP 26 | UGH THEY SOLD OUT... or did they?
