The Gen Z Cutoff (ft. Moving Oolong)
There seems to be a lot of contention about exactly what year the cutoff is between Gen Z and Millenials... so we brought on some 1998 friends to confirm! Today we're excited to have Sally, Linda, and Ming from Moving Oolong come on to discuss whether they identify as Gen Z, what it was like to graduate on Zoom, and starting adulthood amidst a global pandemic. Sally, Linda, and Ming started Moving Oolong Podcast to share their stories and growing pains as recent college graduates from class of 2020. Their intersecting identities as Asian American women play a large role in shaping their experiences as young adults and hope this podcast acts as a time-capsule to remember and reflect on this time of transition in their lives.

My Very Own Condo
Having your own space is something we’ve dreamed about since we were young. Being a homeowner just means you get to decorate it the way you like……right? This week we invited our friend to walk us through the fun stuff, and not-so-fun stuff she’s experienced in the last few years of owning her own space. Put on your construction hats and get your mops ready for some drywall mishaps, cleaning tips, and other maintenance stories!Follow Laney on IG! @mu.laneydoodleFollow us on IG! @eatyourcrustpod Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

Manifesting Your Dream Life (ft. Lillian So)
Is your current life the "dream life" you've always envisioned for yourself? What's stopping you from becoming the "dream" you? We don't have these answers for you...so we brought on a very qualified friend to do so! Today we are so stoked to have on Lillian So - a life coach, personal trainer, and yoga therapist currently based in San Francisco. Not only does she explain the importance of identifying your most important intentions, she also walks us through how to make the dream life achievable.

Heart On My Digital Sleeve (ft. Joelle Park)
We kind of grow up alongside the content creators that we love. And for some of us, our favorite content creators are the ones who wear their heart on their sleeve. YouTuber Joelle Park has videos spanning over 7 years of her life. Her channel features everything from high school/college advice videos, heartfelt videos addressing important topics like racism and internalized misogyny, and goofy vlogs with her friends and family. Not only do we love her fun content, we love her for her raw, open vulnerability with her viewers. Today we discuss trends in media and the expectations they place on creators, the balancing act of pushing out content you enjoy vs. content that does well, and the impact of filming vlogs on self-confidence.

Making Time for Joy and Gratitude
When life feels like it’s running a million miles per hour, taking care of the big things feels much more urgent than the little things. But often times, it’s the little things that bring the most joy! Inspired by Ingrid Joy Fetell Lee’s Joyful Planner, which encourages us to actively plan for joy rather than expect it to spontaneously stumble into our lives, we express our gratitude about the little things we’ve been doing in the past few months that have brought us joy. Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving from our families to yours ♡ Check out Ingrid Fetell Lee’s Joyful Planner Follow us on IG @eatyourcrustpod Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

All About Birth Control
Birth control can be intimidating. There’s so many different shapes, sizes, and forms of use, not to mention the horror stories you hear through WebMD or your friends. Whether you see them as a pesky chore or a form of empowerment, it’s an essential part of many of our lives. Today we tackle our experiences with different types of birth control, any side effects we’ve experienced, and the involvement of our male partners in our BC journey!

What Asian TV Taught Us About Gender Expression
Gender expression is often taught to us through things like TV shows, school uniform rules, or conversation with our parents. But when you grow up in between two different cultures, it can mean you’re exposed to double the stereotypes and expectations! Today we take a blast to the past to observe the various gender roles we’ve picked up through our favorite Asian dramas and celebrities, and explore how these portrayals translate to female empowerment and LGBTQ acceptance in society and our families. Our guest, Karen, is a fellow podcast host of her own show Mx. Asian-American, where she explores the Asian-American experience in all aspects of life. Check out the episode that Crystal and I did on Karen's podcast (ep#24 - East vs. West with Crystal and Jeesoo)! Follow Eat Your Crust Pod on IG! @eatyourcrustpod Follow Mx.

Tech Culture: Breaking Barriers (ft. Mayuko)
Silicon Valley is the pinnacle of technology - so much so that you can’t go anywhere without being reminded of it! Whether it’s the tech company logos on everyone’s laptops or the constant conversations on which start-up will IPO next, tech culture imbues both work and personal life in the Bay Area. Today we are delighted to feature Mayuko Inoue, a Content Creator and Software Engineer who is breaking down barriers in tech culture. Not only does she demystify the world of tech in her informative YouTube videos, she also makes coding seem fun and chill through her co-working streams on Twitch. Don’t miss today’s episode where we talk about the importance of diversity in tech, discuss our favorite (and least favorite) parts of tech culture, and explore what it’s like to be an Asian-American woman in STEM!
