On this episode, we discuss Young Rock, the new NBC sitcom about formative years of Dwane "The Rock" Johnson. Taking place over multiple time periods, the show follows young Rock and his family as they work the gimmick known as life. We chat about the amazing PI representation, discuss the decline of diverse family sitcoms over the last few years, and wonder if The Rock really will run for president.

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.
