Ed Bacon, a retired priest from the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles and the author of the book “8 Habits of Love.” Saying that we often obscure our ability to identify grace in our lives, the Rev.

Episode: Asian Americans Talk about Racism, and We Listen – Part 2
Created: July 5, 2018
Duration: 34 minutes and 3 seconds
Overview: It’s the second installment of our two-part series on anti-Asian racism. Once again, we hand over the mics to our Asian-American colleagues, friends and listeners to hear about their experiences with dating, work and more as they relate to race and identity. We hear varied and nuanced perspectives — from the writer Jen Choi, the musician Simon Tam, the podcaster Andrew Ti and others — on what it feels like to be a part of the diverse community of Asian-Americans, which makes up almost 6 percent of the United States population. If you haven’t already, check out last week’s episode for Part 1 of this series.

Podcast: New York Times – Still Processing
Episode: Asian Americans Talk about Racism and We Listen – Part 1
Created: June 28, 2018
Duration: 36 minutes and 5 seconds
Overview: This week and next, we’re doing something different. After witnessing an awful instance of anti-Asian racism at a movie theater, we couldn’t stop thinking about how this type of racism is rampant in American culture, both on the screen and off. At first, we wanted to talk about it. But then, we realized that we needed to listen. For the next two episodes, we hand the microphones over to our Asian-American colleagues, friends and listeners to hear about their experiences with racism. From Pablo Torre (of ESPN) to Emily Yoshida (of Vulture) to Parul Sehgal (of The Times) and more, we hear about childhood traumas, politicization, pop culture and hierarchies of oppression as they relate to Asian-American identity. The ideas are varied and complicated, conflicting and nuanced — which makes sense for a hugely diverse community that makes up almost 6 percent of the American population. We’ll bring you the second part of this two-part series next week.
