Bay Made Showcase: Worst Quality Crab - Lunar New Year, Past & Present

Experience a live taping of the Asian American food culture podcast Worst Quality Crab at KALW’s Live Events Studio at 220 Montgomery St. in Downtown San Francisco.

Hosts Freesia & Samson Lee are joined by Margot Seeto of The Dumpling Report to lead a discussion of childhood experiences celebrating Lunar New Year and the traditions people hold today.

Be sure to tune into Bay Made on KALW 91.7 FM the week of Jan. 27 at 11:30 AM to hear selections from Worst Quality Crab.

Freesia and Samson Lee are the literal mom & pop duo behind Worst Quality Crab. Freesia is a 5th generation San Franciscan, occasional leadership & life coach, and does all things press-related for the Asian Art Museum. Samson is originally from New York, still quietly clings onto his East Coast bias, and has worked in the Ad-Tech industry for many, many years. When not working or podcasting, they are trying to cultivate food traditions new and old with their three young daughters.

Margot Seeto is a freelance writer from San Francisco, who has since called many cities and countries home. She first cut her journalistic teeth at the Honolulu Weekly, and has since written for Thrillist, SFGATE, San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire, The Bold Italic, An Injustice!, FLUX magazine, go! airlines innov8 in-flight magazine, Contrast, Lei Chic, The Hawai‘i Independent, the City and County of Honolulu, Hallowbaloo Music + Arts Festival, Seattle’s The International Examiner, and was music editor of Hyphen magazine. She was also a writing tutor for Sydney Story Factory, one of 826 Valencia’s Australian sister organizations.
