“For the modern day Asian American woman?!”
Why was this suggested to me?! This is just three people with Main Character Syndrome. Dunno whether to be bored or annoyed. It’s funny how LA attracts these types of do-nothings, in pursuit of podcast/youTube stardom. But, this one specifically targets to capitalize off the “Asian American female experience”. Sadly, their convos are, as others have mentioned below, BASIC, lacking perspective, vapid, and simply hard to sit through, both audio-quality-wise, and content-quality-wise. Much like eavesdropping on your very average older sister and her corny friends from the other room, LOL If you’re looking for advice/news from people with insightful experiences or self-evident skillsets, this pod will leave you disappointed. If you want to hear Mel and/or Janet beg the internet for a husband, enjoy. If you want to be impressed with Helen as she is with herself (another classic case of Dunning-Kruger), then enjoy. If you’re simply starved of anything cultural, and look forward to recycled messages (but delivered less articulately), then yes, enjoy. But do prepare to suffer through a few strings of disingenuously-promoted advertisements each episode. Regarding the amount and varied types of ads (which spills over into their personal IGs too), this is clearly another instance of wannabe-influencers making $$$ through appealing to the status quo. “ABG” merch, really? A bit puzzled why anyone would diminish an experience as complex (and lately, dangerous) as being an Asian American woman, down to a novelty tote-bag or bucket hat!? I’ve never heard them promote any charities or grass roots activist organizations — do they even care, if it’s not profitable for them? Maybe their messging is just buried in all the ads? Would they still be spreading their gospel, if they didn’t charge colleges $$$ for speaking events? Shouldn’t you be offended you’re being marketed to, in a way where our IDENTITY is tied into capitalism, only to benefit them? If this is a leading representation of AAPI progress, I think we’re all in trouble :( We deserve more!

Asianbossgirl is such a breath of fresh air! As an Asian American woman in my late 20s, it’s hard to find content in main media to relate to. Listening to this makes me fee like I’m sitting down with a bunch of girlfriends and chatting about life over some wine - except I’m really listening to...Read full review »

If you’re Asian American, you must have heard of the Facebook group “Subtle Asian Traits (SAT)”. If you haven’t, go check it out because you’ve missing out. Same goes for ABG, which is like the podcast version of SAT. It’s SO relatable! You really get to know these three amazing ladies as they...Read full review »

You will love this podcast! THREE ABGS. TWO SEASONS. ONE SHOW. I randomly stumbled upon their instagram a while back and I ended up binge listening to all the episodes on a long drive. Even though I'm a guy and maybe not exactly their target audience, I feel like the podcast offers great...Read full review »
