Good Pop is on hiatus for a few weeks as all of our hosts are overseas to attend Jess' wedding in Itlay! In the meantime, we'll be using our usual release day to plug some of our fellow Asian American hosted podcasts from the Potluck Podcast Collective. This week we're featuring the latest book news episode from Books & Boba, so you can check out what's popping in the world of Asian American books!

Mentioned in this episode:

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. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
