Nuances: Our Asian Stories

De: LAZOU
  • Resumen

  • Nuances is an award-nominated audio space where guests from a wide range of Asian ethnic groups, careers, countries, and communities explore our often complicated relationships with our culture(s) and how they shape us. It can be a source of validation, a space for healing, a call to self-reflection, or a good laugh, often all at the same time. The current 5th season is a limited series exploring wholesome queer stories from premodern Asia, what they can teach us about our cultures, and why they were forgotten in modern times. It features scholars and guest co-hosts from the queer Asian community. We talk about the careers we’ve pursued: winemaker, writer, actor, musician, politician, activist, brain scientist, care worker, doctor, & so many more. Our intersectional conversations explore how our experiences affect our views on anti-racism, disability justice, feminism, LGBTQIA+ rights, religion, etc., and how we can create change in our own circles to build solidarity across moveme...

  • Introducing: That Scares Me Too
    Dec 29 2024

    Welcome back to the Nuances podcast! I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday week if you celebrate. If not, I hope you get some rest at the very least as we wind down 2024. Last week I told you that my next release will be for you if you’re not into the festive vibe, but would rather hear something spooky!

    Well, I am here to deliver on that promise with our latest feed drop. Today I’d love to introduce you to the podcast “That Scares Me Too”. In it, Dr. Sophie Yang and K.A Statz discuss myths and tales of horror from Taiwan and Asia. Together they compare and contrast stories from their cultures and talk about the shared humanity that is fear. In this episode, we’re introduced to unknown entities in the mountains of Taiwan. Enjoy!

Very engaging and well produced

Every season keeps getting better. The interviewer does her research, and you can tell. She guides the conversation well and makes each guest shine. You'll laugh, cry, do a happy dance, or wonder why you never knew about certain topics covered. There's no rambling or extraneous details without a point, which makes this stand out compared to other interview-style podcasts.

The diversity of guests is really fun. You never know who you'll meet: a brain scientist, an activist, a historian, an artist, a winemaker, a businessman, a care home worker. If you like hearing about different careers you will enjoy this show. You'll also enjoy this if you like conversations that discuss the intersection of various social issues through personal stories. The summary at the end is also a nice actionable recap for each episode.

It's a good podcast to listen to on your commute or while doing chores around the house. Puts me in a good mood every time.
