Gold & Great is the official podcast of Kollaboration SF, expressing the stories of the APIDA community. This Season "Go Back Where We Came From," we’re exploring how our family and cultural histories have shaped the work of Bay Area creatives, using interviews, narrative pieces, staff conversations, and more. With past guests including Shang-Chi actor Simu Liu and Chef Kathy Fang, we’re looking back at where we’ve been to understand where we are and where we want to go.
In this episode we interview Filipino American DJ, host, MC, and producer, Nico Blitz. Some of you may know him as the DJ from Twitch and Tik Tok as he is a Twitch Partner and streaming DJ. He created and hosts the Lunch Table series on YouTube, is a DJ and Producer for the BootlegKevShow, as well as a host for Myxglobal. He has two podcasts out, @NicoBlitzPodcast (https://www.instagram.com/NicoBlitzPodcast/) and @MexipinoPodcast (https://www.instagram.com/MexipinoPodcast/). In this episode we have a special guest co-hosting. Her name is Shannin and she is an up and coming Filipina DJ in the Bay Area. Shannin and Salena sat down with Nico to discuss everything from the growth of his career in radio, streaming and content creation, to his family, music and DJing, as well as food and culture. We are truly inspired by Nico’s story and we hope this episode brings inspiration to you as well. Enjoy!

Episode 26: Shang-Chi Chat Show w/ Mixed Asian Media Fest
We’re joined by our friends from Mixed Asian Media Fest to talk about, well, you know - Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, starring this podcast’s very first guest, Simu Liu, plus Kollaboration NY alum Awkwafina, Tony Leung, Michelle Yeoh, and a treasure trove of other Asian actors. We dig into how martial arts has impacted Asian stereotypes, minutiae from the Shang-Chi comics and his racist past, the excitement of watching the film for the first time, the depiction of Asian American culture and SF, and a whole lot more. Virtual karaoke is also addressed, whatever that might be!
