In our inaugural episode, Simi catches up with Sopan Deb, a journalist for the New York Times. Previously, he covered Donald Trump's presidential campaign for CBS. His work has appeared on The Boston Globe, Al Jazeera, NBC News, and other prominent news outlets. Sopan recently published his first book, Missed Translations: Meeting The Immigrant Parents Who Raised Me, which recounts a poignant reunion with his estranged parents. In this conversation, they leave no stone unturned: from the inspiration behind the book to the South Asian creatives that have inspired him. Sopan shares his journey to journalism and political intersections in the NBA and the... SpongeBob musical. Yes, you read that right -- you don't want to miss this episode.
