For our last regular Good Pop episode of the year, we check out the Hulu television adaptation of Charles Yu's award winning novel, Interior Chinatown, starring Jimmy O Yang as Willis Wu, a background character in a world within a police procedural, as he rises through the ranks while investigating what happened to his older brother. But will this meta-fictional story about the Asian American experience ascend to the ranks of good pop?

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR

"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
