Asian Rebel Club Podcast
A podcast every Asian should’ve had growing up, and probably still needs.
A podcast for anyone who grew up trying to be perfect and now just wants to be real.
Hosted by Crystal Ren (ex-good girl turned creative troublemaker), it’s a mix of honest convos, cultural unlearning, emotional plot twists, and slow rebellion - real talk about identity, family, healing, and finally choosing yourself.
New episodes weekly-ish.
