A culmination of 4 years of public speaking and 8 years of chaotic best-friend energy, we want to share our love for the spoken word, explore our passions, and create memories to last a lifetime.
episode 5: our passion for politics, writing, and each other
Welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, we talk about our affinity for the (very on-brand) Ps in our lives: politics, philosophy, and puns!
Perhaps past pernicious ponderings provided perpetuate pensive philosophical politics? Promote podcast, please?
(My name is Katelyn Liu and I strongly approve of my genius in this message.)

episode 4: COLLEGE DECISIONS DOWN BAD THIS YEAR.
stanford, brown, and the other t-20 colleges have been awfully quiet since they rejected us.....
COLLEGE. DECISIONS. ARE. HERE. the college admissions cycle is a daunting and, as we've just seen first-handedly, humbling process for many. after four years of high school and eighteen years of existence canned into a 650 word essay, we bare it all as we talk about what the process was like for us, expose each other's embarrassingly bad work habits (@katelyn), and offer some words of wizdom from our experiences.
hopefully, from our rejection and disappointment comes a bit of reflection and acceptance for both you and for us. as "down bad" as we may joke about being this year, we want to extend a huge thank you (as big as harvard's endowment oop) to everyone who's helped us through this application season and brought us to where we are today. happy listening!

episode 3: the social virus — anti-asian discrimination pt.1
Hey everyone! We're back for a bit of a more serious episode. Many apologies from Katelyn since she kept procrastinating on editing this very long episode. In this episode (and hopefully in a multi-part series), we discuss Anti-Asian violence that's become more prevalent in the news lately, the history of Asian discrimination in the US, and the power that rhetoric has in continuing to fuel prejudice and hate crimes around the world. We hope that you take some of what we say to heart and that you can find ways to connect to the topics discussed, whether that's through your peers, family, or even with yourself as we begin to take notice of the rise in racially-charged violence. As always, please feel free to DM us your thoughts, questions, and whether you're interested in being featured in one of our future episodes. Until next time, peas out :)

episode 2: when katelyn met nicole
"we get ittttttt you're best friends"
The story of us: from fifth grade, to sophomore boy problems, to senior year and beyond. We try to put our friendship into words with as few "likes" and swears as possible (@katelyn), but who knows! Maybe this is isn't even real. What even is real? Are we dreaming? Nicole is the girl of my dreams? Tune in for the much requested history of these two peas and to hear Katelyn shooting her shot with Nicole's brother okay byeeee!

episode 1: egg tart baking!
Join us as we kick start the Lunar New Year through baking a traditional HK dessert (that Katelyn hadn't tried until this episode, how shameful), talking about our cultural experiences, and putting our trust in each other and Buzzfeed Tasty's egg tart recipe as we challenge ourselves to follow instructions through audio alone. Katelyn tries to restrain herself from making some eggcellent, albeit smh-worthy, yolks and Nicole gets to show you the tart of baking. Ok, I'll stop now. Happy listening!
