On this episode, we dive into the first half of Jon M Chu's adaptation of Wicked (which is my the transitive property, now an Asian American film)! A re-imagining of the immensely popular stage musical based on the book that itself is a re-imagining of the original Wizard of Oz story from the perspective of its villain. Expectations for the film were sky high, will another Jon Chu adaptation break through as good pop once again?

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR

"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
