361 - Tokens w/ Winnifred Jong & Connie Wang

Winnifred Jong is the creator of the hit webseries Tokens (season 2 premiering on the Roku Channel on January 10th). Set in the world of actors cast by productions desperate to hit their diversity quotas, Season 2 of TOKENS pivots from the comedic overuse of On Call Casting, the democratic Uber-ization of diverse representation in Season 1, to a comedy about the hunger-gaming of casting and the need to stay ahead of the trend. Sammie Pang (Connie Wang), in her quest to find a meaningful role, quits On Call Casting and lands a Hollywood agent and, seemingly, the role of a lifetime. She soon realizes being on top isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Season 2 moves the idea of inclusion in front of the camera to the need for authenticity behind the camera. Winnifred is joined by series star Connie Wang (Odd Squad, The Boys). Subscribe: Apple, Spotify, Google, Amazon, Pandora, Deezer, PocketCast Socials: @EndeavoursRadio
