Asian Fail with Angie Suh
What's an Asian Fail? Getting a B is an Asian Fail. Anything other than being the very best is a failure. Or is it? Hear stories from Asian peeps who did not become doctors or lawyers! Ok, maybe some doctors and lawyers. We'll also chat about mental/physical health, entertainment, and culture, from an Asian American point of view.

BOB SAGET’S HERE FOR YOU is a podcast that is like no other— For one, this podcast has guests who are friends of Bob’s, or just really interesting people who many of you know and love. Secondly, this podcast is unique because it goes inside Bob Saget’s mind, and then quickly filters out through his mouth. Bob has a way of calming people he has conversations with as well as being entertaining and often informative. Bob talks with his guests with genuine empathy and humor, while reaching his unusually diverse audience that he talks to as a friend, Bob is the dad with great advice, the irreverent funny guy who’s always there when you need a laugh, and the free-associative Bob who goes off on crazy tangents then returns to the subject at hand, as serious or as comedic as it may be, to wrap up each episode in a way only Bob can do. Because he really does believe, “He’s here for you."
