Episode 209
Didi
On this episode of Good Pop, we check out this year's Asian American Sundance indie darling DIDI, a coming of age story written and directed by Sean Wang about a kid from Fremont in the summer of 2008 as he struggles with changes in his life, family, and friends during his last summer before entering high school. We dive into all the cringe of 13 year old boys, reminisce about 2008 technology, and share our thoughts on this new Asian American classic.

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR
"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
