411. Best of the Year of the Dragon – A MiOsc Recap

As the Year of the Snake arrives, Oscar and I sat down for another exciting MiOsc episode, looking back at all the things that made the Year of the Dragon unforgettable. From books that impacted us to movies we enjoyed, and most memorable moments—we explored some of our favorites from last year. Our conversation naturally find its way into the realm of travel and food. Last year was full of adventures, and it was no easy task narrowing down the most memorable destinations and events. Perhaps the most enriching part of our recap was revisiting the meaningful conversations we’ve had—both on the podcast and beyond. These moments of connection reminded us why I started the podcast in the first place: to build empathy, understanding, and growth. No “Best of” episode would be complete without some fun surprises. We each brought personal highlights—things that made us smile, whether big or small, significant or silly. The Year of the Dragon has been full of challenges and good times, but I’m grateful to take a moment to reflect and share all the things that made us laugh and cry. Let us know what’s made your Year of the Dragon memorable—books, movies, trips, or anything in between! I’ve been enjoying these conversations and hope you have too.  If you have, please rate my podcast on your platform of choice and share it with others!  If you would like to support with a donation to help keep this podcast going and support the work I do, you can become a patron of the show by visiting my website or Patreon.com/sifumimichan For comments or suggestions reach out on social media @sifumimichan Discussed in this episode: Jim Lee Lahaina Fires Lunar New Year Love Story, Gene Luen And and LeUyen Pham Catwoman Lonley City, Cliff Chiang Nora Goes off Script, Anabel Monaghan Emily Henry Christina Lauren Ali Hazelwood Abby Jiminez I am Malala Burn Book The Change La Colombe The Test Kitchen, Capetown Claire Keegan Small Things Like These El Cementerio de los cuentos sin contar (The Cemetery of Untold Stories)- Julia Alavarez Cal Newport, Deep Questions Bart Ehrman podcast Misquoting Jesus Bill Maher- What this comedian said will shock you Nuclear Way by Annie Jaco...
