Entertainment in a Time of Crisis with Emily Y. Wu

Stuart talks to Emily Y. Wu, the co-founder of Ghost Island Media to talk about the podcasting scene in Taiwain, and why entertainment is important in a time of crisis. Emily talks about why Taiwan has been in the news for the past few years and what sorts of conversations need to happen in order to stay knowledgeable and instigate change. What will it take in order for the West to understand what is going on across the world?

Podcasting is an incredible medium that covers everything from art, to pop culture, to politics. If you have a message that you want to share with the world, podcasting can be just a tool for you to use in order to share that message with the public. Emily talks about how podcasting has helped her cause and helped spread her message.

Emily also dives into her other projects including Metalhead Politics, Ghost Island Media, and Gamechangers. Stuart and Emily talk about what it means to have a limited series and how it works for her.
