I decided to record a solo episode to gather my thoughts since returning to the podcast a few months ago, and how wild it’s been recording emergency episodes amid the chaos Chicago has been experiencing with ICE and CBP raids. I also talk about my reaction to content creator Nathan Ramos-Park’s reel about how Asian Americans and the Asian diaspora are making the decision to live in Asia, and how that impacts them. I have a lot to say on that as a former expat. I have also been thinking about the wave of grief that I will experience with the upcoming holidays and reminders about my brother’s passing for this winter season.

Also, many thanks to all my guests who have been on my show, including those who were notified at the last minute to talk about what’s happening in Chicago regarding ICE.
