What Kind of Asian Are You?
Why I Kept Podcasting? - Kyle gets interviewed / BONUS
To kick off 2026, What Kind of Asian Are You? turns the mic inward.
In this short episode, Kyle steps out from behind the scenes and into the guest seat, interviewed by Cheryl from the Edit History Podcast. They talk about why this podcast started back in 2020, the moments of burnout that almost led to quitting, and what keeps Kyle coming back despite the challenges of visibility, social media, and the difficulty of monetizing podcasting.
The conversation also digs into something deeper: the tension between preferring to work behind the scenes and being afraid to take the spotlight. Kyle reflects on his resistance to “shining,” perfectionism, and what it might look like in 2026 to let himself be more visible.
It’s a candid, thoughtful reset that offers listeners a rare look at the person behind the podcast, and an honest way to start a new year of conversations about being Asian.
