Episode 28: David Chau
In this episode we sit down with David Chau (@chaudave1), an Asian Australian lawyer turned business reporter for the ABC. We chat about his career journey into journalism, representation in Australian media, and whether or not his news voice is put on or not. Listen to our episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.
Episode 21: Avatar: A Love Letter
Avatar: The Last Airbender is probably one of the greatest television shows to date. We sit down and unpack a show that hosts complex characters in a truly epic narrative that imagines a ‘world free of whiteness’. This one’s a lighthearted episode, exploring how the show successfully portrayed Asian influences, culture, and ideologies - as well as the missteps - as we revisit the storylines we intimately know and love.
Episode 19: Michelle Law
An Asian-Australian writer, actor and screenwriter extraordinaire, we had the privilege to sit down with Michelle Law (writer of the smash-hit play Single Asian Female, and co-creator of the SBS series Homecoming Queens, just to name a few). Join us as we discuss the importance of Asian representation, storytelling, her relationship to her brother, Ben Law, the landscape of Asian oriented narratives in Australian media, and its future.
