welcome to hot pursuit; a podcast about creating conversations where nothing is off limits hosted by three best friends Jen, Em, and Madelyn.
this podcast is produced by AsianBossGirl.
ever since the beloved ABG hosts Melody, Helen, and Janet took their hiatus, we decided there was a space to fill where individuals could continue vulnerable conversations about life, love, and friendship. we value digging deep, being unhinged, and stepping out courageously in topics of conversation that may be more taboo than your typical lunch conversation. join us as we continue the AsianBossGirl legacy with a podcast of our own. we desire to model friendship and vulnerability to our listeners while challenging ourselves to grow in self confidence, friendship, and authenticity.
buckle up! it's gonna be a wild ride.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
They’ve each really come into their own since the early days, and by that I mean they’re all so much more comfortable with not only just talking on the pod amongst themselves, but also in their interviews. They’re no longer rigid and no longer sound like they’re reading a book report, so the flow’s gotten way better. Loving the interesting subjects and of course their very apparent closeness with each other.
I will say, though…the ads every 7 minutes (I’m guess-timating but I’m on minute 21 of an episode right now, and the third ad just popped up. I’d prefer if you could stack three ads in one sitting (like some other pods do) because now it’s feeling like I’m watching TV where it’s just an ad every couple of minutes. It interrupts the listening experience too frequently.

I’ve been following and listening to every single episode of ABG since 2019, and the ladies really showed us what building community is about. I love every single episode that they put out, whether it be bringing guests on the show to educate us or being vulnerable and sharing their personal journeys and stories. Keep up the good work!

I absolutely love listening to your podcast on the way to work (my drive is 1 hour every morning) the topics you discuss as Asian American women are interesting and relatable. I love how authentic you ladies are. (I especially love the Q&A sessions where the listeners get to know you more) . I find myself laughing out loud and I especially find Mel’s sense of humor so cute and lovable. Keep up the great work!

love you ladies! your content is relatable and a great way to spend time during my work commute. i personally struggle to be vulnerable and the way these ladies openly share their struggles and successes in a mature way is something i aspire to do, so thank you ABG <3

I used to love ABG and how grounded, inspiring, and relatable it was. The original hosts—Helen, Janet, and Mel—had this calm chemistry that made you feel like you were catching up with friends who actually got it. They talked about real life: careers, love, identity, family, growth in your 30s. It was authentic, thoughtful, and empowering.
Unfortunately, this new Hot Pursuit feels like the complete opposite. The lack of sincerity and depth is strong. I wanted to root for them, but honestly, it comes across as forced and performative. The latest episode, “How to Bag an A5 Wagyu Girl,” doesn’t even make sense—Urban Dictionary and ChatGPT doesn’t know what that means, and the episode never explains it. It just feels like clickbait and, worse, like reducing women to pieces of meat.
The new hosts sound young and disconnected from the audience the original show built. Where ABG left off with mature topics like marriage, motherhood, and identity in your 30s, this version feels like brat summer meets Scooby-Doo (especially their fashion sense). The energy is chaotic and self-absorbed instead of introspective and relatable.
Helen brought the grounded perspective of a wife and mother, Janet shared holistic wellness insights, and Mel gave us vulnerable moments of self-discovery. Together, they complemented each other perfectly. The new cast just doesn’t have that chemistry—or the maturity that made ABG so impactful.
It’s sad to see something that once inspired and motivated so many listeners lose its authenticity. Wishing them luck, but this one missed the mark completely.
Dark Orca · Oct 2025
This podcast used to be relatable but now it just feels like the same topics are talked about repeatedly and I just can’t relate to the content anymore. It honestly feels like some of the episodes are filler episodes that I as the viewer simply don’t care to listen to. Maybe I’ve outgrown it or maybe after the girls stopped working in corporate I just stopped relating to their lives…
