Southern Fried Asian: Greg Pak

Southern Fried Asian

At WICOMICON in Baltimore, comic book writer Greg Pak joins an all new live recorded episode of Southern Fried Asian.

Greg joins Keith live on stage to talk about how growing up in Dallas, Texas ultimately influenced his work (3:00) and his love of genres (5:00). He also explains the importance of “diversity within diversity” (9:30), feeling “rep sweats” as a creator of color creating Asian American characters (15:00), and what his obsession with Dungeons & Dragons as a child revealed about his own identity (18:00). Later, Greg explains how he engages politically online (26:30) and his love for Tex Mex and Korean food (33:00) before they both take questions from the live audience (35:00).

Southern Fried Asian

Southern Fried Asian is a new podcast from The Nerds of Color hosted by Keith Chow. Typically, stories about Asian Americans are centered on the experiences of those who grew up on the coasts -- New York, Southern California, the Bay Area -- where communities of different Asian American subgroups have lived for many years. On this podcast, though, we're gonna look at a region of the country that isn't typically associated with these stories and unpack what it means to be Asian American in the American South.
