It's Been a Minute

One year later, the Atlanta spa shootings; plus, tech on TV

It's been one year since the Atlanta-area spa shootings that claimed eight lives, six of whom were Asian women. Guest host Elise Hu reflects on the event with <a href="https://twitter.com/nicolesjchung?s=20&amp;t=DHUThJyV2C3EZ3fVox7cig">Nicole Chung</a>, author of the memoir All You Can Ever Know and a contributing writer for The Atlantic. They discuss their own experiences and the unprecedented violence that Asian Americans—especially Asian American women—are facing. Plus, are tech TV shows about failures and scams a worthy critique or part of the problem? Elise and <a href="https://twitter.com/nitashatiku?s=20&amp;t=DHUThJyV2C3EZ3fVox7cig">Nitasha Tiku</a>, tech culture writer for the Washington Post, discuss the latest TV adaptations of tech scandals: WeCrashed, Super Pumped, and The Dropout. Then, a game of 'Who Said That?' with Nitasha's friend and colleague <a href="https://twitter.com/heatherkelly">Heather Kelly</a>.
