This week on Feeling Asian we have food writer Noah Cho (Catapult, The Atlantic)! You may know him from his widely-circulated article defending the sanctity of cheese ramen. We discuss “authenticity” in Asian cuisine, teaching in the time of Corona and the longing to be more Asian as a biracial person. Brian reminisces about old exes and Youngmi talks about her decision to dye her hair blue. Please rate and review us on iTunes!
