OAKLAND, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AdultISH—Adult ISH, the acclaimed culture, storytelling, and advice podcast co-hosted by Nyge Turner and Merk Nguyen is back for a new season.
New episodes of the podcast will launch on October 8, 2020, and be released every Thursday through December 10, 2020, with a weekly mix of candid conversations on taboo subjects, lively storytelling, and unfiltered advice. BIPOC creators in their early 20s, Turner and Nguyen are still getting through it all while documenting their experiences for young and young-at-heart listeners.
Season four will feature special guest appearances by almost-adults and O.G. adults alike, including actors and entertainers, activists, writers, musicians, and influencers. Adult ISH will:
Adult ISH was created in 2018 by Peabody Award-winning YR Media (formerly Youth Radio), after Turner and Nguyen won a national talent search for new podcast hosts. Recently named by CNN as a must-listen podcast raising marginalized voices, Adult ISH has been deemed essential listening by The New York Times, AV Club, and Harper’s Bazaar. Says Colorlines: “It helps to hear others who speak the same awkward language open up about friendship, immigration, therapy, birth control, and more. That’s where [Adult ISH] comes in.”
“No matter what age you are, becoming an adult always feels like an ongoing process packed with all kinds of technicolor emotions and thoughts,” said Nguyen. “We never want to shy away from that, and won’t be any time soon.”
“I got into podcasting because I wanted to create a world for voices like my own,” said Turner. “While we tell stories that only we could tell on the show, we hope everyone might be able to hear themselves too. No matter where you are in life, we’re all still figuring it all out, and that’s okay. Adult ISH is the honest, open place where we can process what life throws our way, together.”
