TikTok Queens and Twitch Streams
Here’s the Gen Z daily routine: Wake up and immediately tweet about your dream. Work out by learning (or struggling to learn) TikTok dances. Fall asleep to the sweet sound of a Twitch streamer’s maniacal clicking. NAH, we’re just kidding. But we did bring on our resident Gen Z expert, Yane, to discuss the evolution of mainstream media, especially the rise of streaming culture and the mystifying success of bathwater-selling e-girls!Follow Yane on Instagram @yanedere_Follow Yane on Twitch @yanedereFollow Yane on Twitter @yanedere_Follow Eat Your Crust @eatyourcrustpodSupport the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

Making It Big (Ft. Alvin Zhou, Buzzfeed's Tasty)
Behind the 10 second Tasty videos that filled your Facebook news feed, and the Making It Big series on YouTube that you always end up clicking (a 100-egg omelette? whaaaat?!), there are dreams of a young Asian-American boy who defied traditional expectations to achieve his dream. There’s countless all-nighters in a dark dorm room, slaving over every split-second edit of the clips. Oh, and there’s a borrowed DSLR that kick-started his whole career, too :)This week we are excited to have Alvin Zhou from Tasty to talk about his unconventional journey to Making It Big!Follow Alvin @alvinzhoupwnsFollow Gary @garyxujwFollow Tasty @buzzfeedtastyFollow Eat Your Crust @eatyourcrustpodSupport the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

Social Anxiety - Just Me?
How come it seems like everyone else in the world is totally comfortable meeting and talking to complete strangers? For Crystal and I, it takes a few pep talks, a close friend, or social lubricant (cough cough alcohol) before we feel more confident in unfamiliar social situations. Hopefully it’s not just us! Follow us along on our throwback to our antisocial freshman days to our journey in managing our shyness 🙂Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod
