Welcome to Season 3, Episode 14. In this ICYMI Encore Episode, we go back to Season 2, Episode 19. There are a lot of Filipino nurses. In fact, the Philippines is the leading exporter of registered nurses across the world. So how did that happen? Spoilers… American Colonialism was a factor. To celebrate National Nurses Day, we take a look into the History of Filipino Nurses and talk about some of the conditions they face with discrimination and racism. If this topic intrigues you, then we highly recommend reading the book Empire of Care: Nursing and Migration in Filipino American History by Catherine Ceniza Choy, a professor of ethnic studies at the University of California, Berkeley. To begin this episode, we start with a brief history of National Nurses Day.

He earned the title of last Founding Father to serve as President, and his administration would carry influence over the foundations that would be laid for the growth of American power later in the 19th century. He was James Monroe, the last of the Founding Fathers to preside over the nation.

Multiple years, catastrophes, genders, and Twilight re-contextualizations later, Briana and Sid return to American Vampire! This episode is a little check-in, assessing where we're at and how we're thinking about this material now, and acknowledging simply how much time has passed since last we spoke about the Twilight Saga. We'll resume our usual chapter-by-chapter format (where we left off in reading Eclipse) in the next episode. Sorry for kind of weird audio quality on this one, the next episode (already recorded!) should be better. 

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 26! Patsy Mink was an Asian Pacific American hero of so many causes. Although she is best known for her work and championing of Title IX, she also supported environmental issues, women’s rights, immigrant rights, and more. In today’s mid-week interview, we had the pleasure of talking to Judy Tzu-Chun Wu and Wendy Mink, the co-authors of the amazing biography Fierce and Fearless: Patsy Takemoto Mink, First Woman of Color in Congress. It was enlightening to be able to hear some first-hand stories from Wendy who is Patsy Mink’s daughter. To find copies of this incredible biography, you can go to any online book seller or get it from the publisher NYU Press.

Welcome to Episode 59! The Chinese Exclusion Act is one for the most restrictive laws that limited immigration. Although the majority of Chinese were barred from entering the country or becoming naturalized citizens, there was one loophole that allowed many Chinese Americans to claim citizenship and bring in additional Chinese. These were known as paper sons and daughters. We also talk about one particularly famous paper son, Tyrus Wong. There’s a great documentary about him called Tyrus by director Pamela Tom. Additionally, we bring back our segment What Are We Listening To? We talk about the music of Sanjana, Monsune, EASHA, Shreea Kaul, Silk Sonic, Deb Never. Do you have a favorite Asian Pacific American musician? Let us know!
