About this episode

The episode announces a live event featuring journalist Bonnie Tsui in celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month.

In celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month, we’re collaborating with our public radio friends at KALW to put on a live recording this Thursday, 5/21 7pm. Joining us for this special event is Bonnie Tsui, journalist and author of On Muscle, Why We Swim, and American Chinatown. Bonnie will share stories of growing up in Long Island, her grandfather working in a fortune cookie factory, and how it led her to write American Chinatown. Plus how it led her to become a consultant on Netflix’s “Interior Chinatown.’ Come hang out, hear Bonnie’s stories, and snack on fortune cookies and other yums with us! Totally free but register (and make a donation to KAWL if you’re able to keep public media alive) so we know how many snacks to over order! This live event is the culmination of a week of Bay Made features! You can hear us Monday 5/18 through Thursday 5/21 on KAWL at 11:30am. Hear some really great past episodes with guests Chef Kathy Fang, Jeff Chang, Soleil Ho, and Chef Laurence Louie. Listen live (stream: KALW.org / radio: 91.7 FM in the Bay Area) if for nothing else than the novelty of it!
