An Asian American podcast for every listener
You’ve read the headlines: The pandemic has compounded the already wide wealth gap among Asian Americans and given rise to long-simmering anti-Asian sentiment. Asian American–owned businesses are vandalized, and our elders are attacked. To give voice to authentic Asian American stories that go beyond statistics and headlines, we have compiled a list of must-listen Asian American podcasts. Some of them are podcasts about race, and some are conversations with amazing Asian Americans, but most of them chronicle everyday experiences of ordinary Americans.
Asian Americans are part of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. With more than 50 ethnicities speaking almost 100 languages, AAPI is far from a monolith. People of Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander heritage are all considered AAPI, and we hope to reflect this diversity through our selection of podcasts. These are some of the best podcasts brought to you by AAPI creators, from journalists in Los Angeles to activists in Hawaii.
Once you’ve added an Asian American podcast (or two) to your rotation, continue to support the AAPI community by adding these Asian American books to your reading list and stay informed by learning about Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month facts.
