In this playful and revealing episode, the three co-hosts take turns answering 20 fun, lighthearted, and thought-provoking questions.

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the growing global disillusionment with the ultra-wealthy. Once admired as aspirational figures, billionaires and corporate moguls are now increasingly seen as symbols of inequality, exploitation, and unchecked power.

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive into Michael Wong’s incisive article "Why Aren’t We Willing to Pay More for Asian Food?" to explore a broader conversation about how cuisine from communities of color—especially Asian, Latin American, and African diasporas—is often undervalued compared to food from European cultures in the American dining landscape.

Using Wong’s work as a launching point, we unpack the historical, economic, and racial biases that shape how food is priced, perceived, and patronized. Why are French or Italian dishes so often associated with prestige and fine dining, while Chinese, Vietnamese, or Mexican food is expected to be cheap, casual, and "authentic"? What role do colonial legacies, immigrant labor, and cultural fetishization play in determining culinary worth?

In this insightful episode, we spotlight our five favorite political commentators and social analysts of color who are reshaping the national discourse with intellect, authenticity, and cultural perspective. These voices bring depth, nuance, and lived experience to complex political conversations, offering audiences a richer understanding of today’s most pressing issues.

In this forward-looking episode, we explore how higher education is evolving in response to technological innovation, shifting job markets, and changing societal values. We cover the growing debate over the value of traditional degrees and how individuals can remain relevant in an increasingly skills-driven world. Whether you're a student, educator, or lifelong learner, this episode offers insight into what’s next for academia.

In this relatable episode, we share their funniest, most unexpected run-ins with scams.
