Southern Fried Asian: Tiya Sircar

Southern Fried Asian

Southern Fried Asian is thankful to have Tiya Sircar stop by the podcast to talk about her career, being a part of Star Wars, and growing up in Texas!

Tiya and Keith talk about her childhood living in the Dallas-Fort Worth part of Texas and when she caught the bug to be an actor. They then dive deep into her experience playing Sabine Wren on Star Wars: Rebels, and what she’d do to continue playing the character in other formats. Later, she recalls her time on The Good Place and being a fan of the show you’re starring in and how she stumbled into another fandom genre: the Lifetime/Hallmark Christmas movie! They end by talking about the best dim sum, banh mi, and hamburgers in Texas.

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.
