Review of As I Am: Asians In America

Thank you for putting this segment together. At last, a radio show dedicated to the lives of Asian Americans and the issues they face in the United States.
My favorite piece would have to be the one about finding the sesame oil.
As I Am really speaks to the Asian American experience with poetry, stories, literature and news. And the show is hosted by a notable Asian American scholar: Helen Zia.
As a 1.5 generation Asian American, I am excited for a radio show that shares the realities of Asian Americans from an authentic perspective.
