Not the Cat is a storytelling podcast and propulsive platform on Asia bringing you perspectives, people, and stories that are rarely found elsewhere. We think it’s important that nuanced stories from Asia, beyond the news bites, nuclear scares, 'wacky Japan' or natural disasters, get told .. and told in a compelling way. To understand a place you need to understand its politics as much as its pop culture. It’s all about the highs and the lows and your fun, unfiltered guides who can take you there. Your Hosts: Two Asian pop culture, tech, and political nerds who are as versed in boy bands and video games as they are in war history and authoritarianism in Asia. Naomi Gingold is an American journalist and podcast producer/story editor/ethnographer who's lived in and reported from across Asia. Jacky Ahn Yang is a lawyer, writer, and Asia policy consultant from Korea. The hosts report stories, but so do reporters, writers, comedians… storytellers of all kinds, from across Asia. But reporting and producing nuanced stories on Asia does take a lot of time and money. We hope you’ll help us bring these stories to life~!
