ICYMI Encore Episode of First Asians in America

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 48! This is an #ICYMI (In Case You Missed It) Encore Episode. Originally airing as Episode 5, this has been one of our favorite episodes we ever researched, recorded, and published. We talk about the first Asians in America... Spoilers, it's not the Chinese. Since it's Filipino American History Month, it seems like another good reason to post this again. In the secondary segment, we talk about the first really famous Asian American performers, Chang and Eng, the Siamese Twins. For the next 6-8 weeks, we will be posting other great #ICYMI Encore Episodes!
