We discuss Kelly Reichardt's new film First Cow, a western about two outsiders in frontier Oregon played by Orion Lee and John Magaro who band together in a scheme to make baked goods from milk stolen from the first and only cow in the territory. We explore how the film subverts the typical western archtypes, how the west was won through capitalism, and also why milk is important in baking.

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR
"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting.
