With StayWise Rentals in crisis, our expert Dana Lubner from Rent Responsibly joins us to break down the strategies for compliance, advocacy, and overcoming regulatory hurdles. The StayWise Rentals Incident After weeks of dealing with trust issues, safety failures, and an insurance disaster, Sarah and Mike Chen at StayWise Rentals were blindsided by a notice from their local municipality. New short-term rental regulations had just been passed, and StayWise had only 60 days to comply with a long list of requirements: Mandatory fire safety upgrades across all properties. New occupancy limits based on square footage. A requirement to have a local representative available 24/7. A $1,500 licensing fee per property. Surprise city inspections—two properties even received cease and desist orders. With property owners panicked, guests caught in the crossfire, and mounting compliance costs, StayWise is at a crossroads. Can they navigate this storm without losing their business?

Join us as we go back to the year 1998, when Star Trek Deep Space Nine was in its sixth (penultimate) season. Mike Chen and Angel Hernandez give us a new, missing episode with 'The Dog of War,' an exploration of just what it would be like if a rare corgi came to the station...and some rogue Borg technology! We discuss the challenge of fitting a new "episode" within an already heavily serialized portion of the show, writing characters with a unique voice, and even the strangeness of addressing the Borg this late in the series' life. So get out your latinum, hold on to your raktajino, and take a runabout back to your favorite space station: Deep Space Nine!

For those of us born in the 70's Star Wars was undoubtedly a huge part of our childhood. However, as Asian Americans, it was nearly impossible to see ourselves in the galaxy George Lucas created. This finally started to change in the late 2010s with some great characters in the films Rogue One and The Last Jedi. This summer, Disney+ came out with the Acolyte starring not one but TWO Asian actors as leads! We finally get to see an Asian Jedi as a main character! I couldn't resist doing an episode about season one of the series. Joining me in the conversation are two bonafide Star Wars experts. They are both Asian American authors who have written parts of the Star Wars canon of books. We have returning guest Mike Chen who wrote Brotherhood in 2022, and Dr. Lydia Kang who wrote The High Republic: Cataclysm in 2023 (both Mike and Lydia have written other Star Wars short stories and numerous other books)! It was so fun nerding out with these two super knowledgeable and down-to-earth people!

Science fiction with feelings! Mike Chen is a New York Times bestselling author. He's written parts of both the Star Wars and Star Trek collections. He has penned 6 original novels including, Here and Now and Then, Light Years From Home, and the recently released A Quantum Love Story. Besides both being geeks with the same last name (in Chinese), Mike and I also have UC Davis and growing up in the Bay Area in common. If any of that also describes you, you will certainly want to read some of Mike's books! His books also explore Asian American identity issues and intergenerational family dynamics. Plus, they're just super fun to read! You can find Mike's books at your local bookstore (shoutout to @christophersbooks in SF where I got my copy of Light Years from Home!) or wherever you get books.

In the novel From a Certain Point of View celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, there are many chapters regarding many of the characters from the fifth Star Wars film. One in particular is the chapter called Disturbance by Mike Chen and narrated by Sam Witwer, himself. This chapter blew my mind. It's in regards to the scene where Vader kneels before Palpatine to only learn that his master has sensed a great disturbance in the force. The book states that Palpatine, moments before, entered Vader's dream of him and Luke killing Sidious. Although Anakin was Anakin Skywalker once again, and without a respirator as Vader requires. Luke was the perfect Sith of legend, as Palpatine says. The fight was incredible, and something I'd love to see in a film someday. This chapter in the book was one of my favourites. It just ties everything in so well, and to show this fan-fiction in canon is mesmerizing to think of, and a Fan-Fic I'd actually like to create. Anakin Skywalker watching his son, no, encouraging his son to beat the emperor. The question is, would Luke be strong enough to kill the emperor like this? In the chapter it explains how Luke would rise above Vader to see the true potential of his bloodline, over his father's final death. I don't think he would be, not in the time after Empire, say, Luke did join his father, he wouldn't be ready so soon. It would require a year or two of proper Sith training to rival the emperor so easily the way he did. Then again, it was just Vader's dream. Another thing that stuck out to me was that Palpatine mentions Vader has the fiery heart of Anakin Skywalker, further proving that Anakin never left Vader, just as we saw closer and closer to the end of Return of the Jedi. I think this excerpt is one of the first showcases of Palpatine's affirmation that the son of Skywalker, if turned, would truly be the Anakin Skywalker he never got. For all those years he worked on turning Anakin to the dark side, it eventually all fell to pieces when he failed against Obi-Wan Kenobi to his own arrogance. Learn more about your ad choices.
