We live pretty comfortably as a result of the digital age; it's easy to take that for granted until the moment power goes out, and we’re deprived of the things now consider basic necessities. In Episode 11 of the Atypical Asians, the guys do a dive back into the past and talk about living through some major blackouts or natural disasters that occurred in New York City, such as the blackout of the Northeast US in 2003, and Hurricane Sandy of 2012. These instances include the loss of electricity, network services, or shortages of gasoline, and what it meant to accomplish normal day to day things without it, such as unboxing candles for light during the nighttime or searching for gas stations that had available fuel on a near-empty tank. The guys also muse about what would happen in the event of greater, biblical-in-nature calamities would occur. Soon after, the discussion moves onto Cambridge Analytica, a data mining and analysis company widely known for its scandal with Facebook in 2018 regarding its acquisition and sale of personal information without its consent. Largely the focus of a recent documentary by Netflix known as “The Great Hack”, the guys discuss the effect Cambridge Analytica had on specific political events such as the US election in 2016, Brexit, and ultimately how their logging of personal data affected the spread (or mispread) of information to users worldwide. Finally, the guys do a second discussion on Shang Chi, Marvel’s upcoming and first superhero of Asian ethnicity, and talk about a controversy regarding Shang Chi’s villain, The Mandarin, to be played by well known Hong Kong actor Tony Leung. Blackout + Disasters we've been through together Grasshoppers in Vegas and Biblical Curses and how we'd react Cambridge Analytica and it's effect on the US. The big Hack.

It is 35 years since the streets of the Big Apple were plunged into darkness. In the height of a summer heatwave there were riots on the streets. But as one New Yorker remembers - it wasn't all bad. Photo: New Yorkers walking home in the dark. Copyright: Hulton Archive/Getty Images.
Letter from America by Alistair Cooke: From Nixon to Carter (1969-1980)
New York blacked out during power outage. Shops looted in darkened streets. This archive edition of Letter from America was recorded by one of two listeners, who between them taped and labelled over 650 Letter From America programmes from 1973 to 1989. It was restored by the BBC in 2014.
