16 Hours Apart
by Sunny Sun, Amy Tang, Tony Lu
During the pandemic, hostilities and racism towards Asian Americans have skyrocketed.

Thus, our podcast is aimed at communicating our experiences with immigration and integration into society, as well as raising awareness and promoting change through resources and petitions.
