We're a few days late this week because of the July 4th holiday, but here we are! This week we're joined by one of the original friends of the 'Cast Richie Menchavez, aka DJ TRAKTIVIST! We catch up with Richie about the state of Asian American music as well as our hopes for the future. We also chat about the exit of Daniel Dae Kim & Grace Park from Hawaii 5-0, NPR's July 4 tweets, and Danielle Kang's awesome celebration at the LPGA open.

This week’s intro & outro music is “Nothing Ever Lasts” from Kollab alum Alfa off her new album Spark & Fury
