Ready to pair your Yves Saint Laurent smoking jacket with your $3 batik shorts? We're joined by publisher and writer Wei Ming Kam to talk Crazy Rich Asians, the blockbuster book series that launched a thousand think pieces. We discuss the pure heaven that is Astrid Leong, foodie culture in Singapore, identifying with British colonialism when it doesn't identify with you, the Western gaze on the Asian experience and emeralds, glorious emeralds! Music by Harry Harris, artwork by Gavin Day, produced by Caroline O'Donoghue, mixed by Hannah Varrall.
