Jeff Yang and Phil Yu present an unfiltered conversation about what's happening in Asian America.


What's up, podcast listeners? We've got another episode of our podcast They Call Us Bruce. (Almost) each week, my good friend, writer/columnist Jeff Yang and I host an unfiltered conversation about what's happening in Asian America, with a strong focus on media, entertainment and popular culture.

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Michael L. Wong, an astrobiologist, planetary scientist and podcaster who studies planetary atmospheres, habitability, biosignatures, and the emergence of life. And Star Trek. He talks about his involvement in the Stand Up for Science protests, the intersection of science, activism, and the challenges faced by the scientific community, particularly in light of recent budget cuts to space exploration and other STEM fields, and the broader implications of stifling diversity in science.

Proceeds will go community programs including the Eaton Fire Food Response Fund.


Purchase a t-shirt and support a great organization doing incredible, vital community work.

Through the rest of April, proceeds from all sales of Stay Angry shirts (and hoodies) will be donated to Asian Pacific Islander Forward Movement, a Los Angeles-area based nonprofit that is working for health equity, the environment, food access, and social justice. API Forward Movement cultivates healthy, long-lasting, and vibrant Asian and Pacific Islander communities through community-centered engagement, education, and advocacy.

In addition to a variety of ongoing programs advocating for fresh food, health access, and livable communities, APIFM's Eaton Fire Food Response Fund supports immediate and long-term food needs for San Gabriel Valley community members affected by the fire. APIFM is partnering with local restaurants and non-profit organizations to provide culturally relevant cooked meals, meal vouchers, and produce bags to community members as they recover and rebuild.

Long after these devastating fires have faded from headlines, there are still good people out there doing the work on the ground. To be honest, I meant to post this fundraiser a long time ago, but like so many things, it got pushed back by... all the things. But I'm hoping you'll lend some support to API Forward Movement and order a shirt. You can also donate directly to API Forward Movement.

And to learn more API Forward Movement's work, follow on Facebook and Instagram.

In this rewind episode, we dip back into the archives and revisit our 2024 conversation with friend, journalist and fellow podcaster Ada Tseng about her Los Angeles Times piece which asked and answered a very important question: Which are the "most Asian" Costcos in Southern California? We discuss why the wholesale chain holds a particular appeal for Asian American shoppers, the specialty items you can only find at the Most Asian Costcos, and the spiritual journey of purchasing Kirkland clothing. Also: The Good, The Bad, and The WTF of Costco.
