Shoes Off: A Sexy Asians Podcast from WBEZ

If you're looking for a new Asian American centric podcast, check out Shoes Off: A Sexy Asians Podcast from WBEZ Chicago: Asians have long been ignored, fetishized or made the butt of the joke in America. Shoes Off: A Sexy Asians Podcast wants to put that to rest. Each week, we celebrate badass Asians who are making a mark on pop culture and entertainment. Co-hosts Esther Yoon-Ji Kang and Susie An hang out with trailblazers in comedy, film, music and other fields—inviting them to reflect on their identities and redefine “sexy” on their own terms.
