  • Resumen

  • Sharon Lee Thony and Raman Sehgal are two MODERN MINORITIES - Asian-American industry pros "making it" (?) - even though they never became the doctors their parents wanted them to be. Each week, they are joined by folks of all stripes - entrepreneurs, corporates, athletes, reporters, politicians, entertainers, and more - to uncover how our different cultural backgrounds shape how we uniquely experience the world. MODERN MINORITIES is a collection of conversations about work and life through the lens of race and gender. It is a show where we talk about “the thing” that everyone is thinking about, but nobody is actually talking about it. New episodes drop weekly.

  • Star Wars: May (the Fourth) be with you...

    Star Wars: May (the Fourth) be with you...
    May 3 2025
    “ It's a message of resilience in the face of adversity — a sandbox, where every person has a story, an important point of view — folks doing something different who can be interesting, wonderful, and celebrated.”  A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, we saw Star Wars for the first time — and everything changed, for so many of us. Let’s be honest, it has been a long and winding relationship with all the space wizards and laser swords over the years — from Ahsoka and Andor to X-Wings, Yoda, and everything in between. So for this May the Fourth, we got together many FrieMMds of the Pod, old and new, who all have Star Wars stories because like the Force that binds all living things in the universe. And like any good story, Star Wars holds a mirror to the moment we're in, especially now. Joining our wretched hive of scum and villainy who are creative and geeky in all the right ways... Josh Ridenour: co-host of the Rabbit Fighters podcast, Quarantined Comics frequent flyer,, and the former number one Weezer fan from Alabama. Lisa Angulo Reid: our latest MM co-host, and co-founder of DearFlor.com, the first Filipino owned cannabis brand, bringing Filipino culture to the world, one flavor at a time. Ainsley Waller: award-winning creative director who blends their passion for sci-fi, fantasy, & fashion history - who you may remember from our 2021 chat on Robins coming out MENTIONS SW = Vietnam? reddit.com/r/movies/comments/d5glo0/george_lucas_explaining_how_the_heroes_of_star/ Overpriced Hoth-Wear: columbia.com/starwars Fozziebacca & Friends: muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Muppets_action_figures Aces High Tee: norselegionstore.com/collections/shirts/products/tie-pilot-t-shirt-and-patch What if Episode I Was Good? youtube.com/watch?v=VgICnbC2-_Y Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Jonathan Hill’s (Second) Most Perfect Episode Ever

    Jonathan Hill’s (Second) Most Perfect Episode Ever
    Apr 27 2025
    “Even though this is a book about snake girls and lizard boys — it's about universal experiences: we can't change what's happening, but you never know when being kind will change somebody else. ,” Jonathan Hill’s an award-winning cartoonist, illustrator, and educator in Portland, Oregon — and a returning guest - to celebrate the launch of his latest graphic novel: “Lizard Boy 2: The Most Perfect Summer Ever.” While the sci-fi title might have you scratching your head, this YA sequel is actually a beautiful, compelling story of self-acceptance, community, and family — we can’t recommend it enough for parents and kids alike, as well as it’s prequel “Tales of a Seventh-Grade Lizard Boy.” Jonathan is HALF Vietnamese American - and while the story is about an immigrant family, community acceptance, and belonging - Jonathan’s work, his characters and their journey are important for all of us to be reading at this particular moment in our nation. Jonathan’s work has been published by Walker Books, First Second, and Oni Press - and featured at ABC New Voices, YALSA and JLG selections, and won awards like the 2012 Carla Cohen Free Speech Award, the 2021 Believer Book Award for Graphic Literature, and the 2022 Junior Library Guild Selection. Jonathan’s also an accomplished cartoonist with clients like Microsoft, the Portland Trailblazers, the Viet Nam Literature Project, the Inlander, Fantagraphics Books, Dark Horse Comics, Tor.com, The Believer Magazine, Literary Arts, and Powell's City of Books. AND he’s been the staff illustrator to The Asian Reporter since 2007. Jonathan also teaches comics and visual narrative - having taught at the Pacific Northwest College, the Oregon College of Art and Craft. He graduated as valedictorian from the prestigious Savannah College of Art & Design, and currently serves on the Board of Directors of Literary Arts and chairs the Youth Programs Advisory Council. Jonathan’s an important voice, creating important work for not just our kids, but for all of us to be learning from — so be sure to check out his work.
