## Resource

Jeff and Phil welcome back their best pals in podcasting, cultural critic/journalist/educator Rebecca Sun and Dino-Ray Ramos of DIASPORA, to re-connect, reset, and share what they've been watching/consuming/experiencing lately in pop culture and beyond. They discuss, among other things, Asians in the Regency romance of Bridgerton ; the possibility of a brown James Bond in Riz Ahmed's offbeat comedy series Bait ; the audacity of multiple Asians as health care workers on The Pitt ; and how far pretty privilege can get you on The Traitors . Also: Jeff finally watched Pop Star Academy . This episode is sponsored by Chinese Republicans , a new play from Roundabout Theatre Company.
