In this solo episode, I'm talking about the theme of home for #AsianAugust. We cover:
Special thanks to BAM & Beyond for starting #AsianAugust to celebrate our identity! Links to their incredible work is below. In Ep 4, Advice To Our Younger Selves Pt.1, we talk about:
Last August, "Crazy Rich Asians" took the box office by storm, raking in more than $170 million in the U.S. alone. The film was one of several big blockbusters to premier last summer featuring all-Asian casts and Asian leads. The phenomenon was dubbed #AsianAugust, and sparked excitement about a turning point for positive representation in Hollywood. A number of films starring Asian casts have since graced the silver screen, but has the momentum of #AsianAugust continued in the way fans and critics had hoped? Guests: Elena Creef - Professor of Women's and Gender Studies at Wellesley College. She specializes in Asian American visual history in photography, film and popular culture. Jenny Korn - Fellow and the Founding Coordinator of the Race and Media Working Group at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. Marella Gayla – A recent graduate of Harvard University who has written for The Boston Globe, Curbed and The Marshall Project. Later in the show… Croatia is one of the hottest vacation spots in the world, and so is its signature red wine. Speaking of hot, this summer, France's hottest day ever topped out at 113 degrees, and now the heat is on in Bordeaux country, where winemakers are beginning to grow warm climate grapes. Closer to home, donut lovers in Rhode Island and on Martha's Vineyard can now satisfy late-night carb cravings at two fresh donut spots. And 'snap chill' coffee is the latest caffeine craze. Guests: Amy Traverso — Food editor at Yankee Magazine, co-host of WGBH's Weekends With Yankee and author of The Apple Lover's Cookbook. Jonathon Alsop — Founder and executive director of the Boston Wine School and author of The Wine Lover's Devotional.
#AsianAugust live on! This month, we're talking about the thriller Searching.

As we look forward past #AsianAugust, let's take a moment to take a look back. We invite David Magdael, film publicist and community advocate, to the KollabCast to chat about what #AsianAugust means to him and to reflect about the early days of the movement, when he worked on a little film called Better Luck Tomorrow. David shares his story of the night the legendary Roger Ebert stood up to defend Better Luck Tomorrow and Asian representation, and how David and his team helped make it into a viral moment.
