⚠️ Season 1 spoilers ahead. Host Jackie Rae Aubel reunites with creator Kimberly Truong and director Katharine Chen Lerner to dig into the Asian American identity and mental health themes woven through Babalu's first season — what it means to feel caught between cultures, how '90s media shaped (and failed) a generation, and why telling this story the right way mattered so much to the team behind it.
