Welcome to Adventurephile, the only podcast that takes listeners on unforgettable journeys to unexplored destinations. On this episode, we travel to an uninhabited island off the southern coast of China. This trip is going to be so good, it's scary.

Musical team Melissa Li and Kit Yan have individually won an extensive list of awards and honorary fellowships. They have also collaborated on Interstate which won the Outstanding Lyrics award at the 2018 New York Musical Festival, Miss Step which won the 2019 Vivace Award through The Bret Adams and Paul Reisch Foundation. Together and separately, Melissa and Kit have made an impact creating work centered on the Asian-American, Queer, and transgender communities with an emphasis on social justice and LGBTQ+ awareness. The Village Voice called Interstate “a glorious pop-rock musical about inclusivity, Queer and Trans community, and the open road.” The team’s one-act musical Cancelled was commissioned for our 2020 Keen Teens program.
