Is success formulaic?
Can you manufacture it?
What happens when you've followed the formula for success but neglected the people involved?

Kevin Yee was part of Youth Asylum a, in his words, failed boyband experiment. We've looked of various degrees of success within the pop genre but now we examine what happens when things just don't work out.

However, while Youth Asylum didn't quite work out Kevin Yee has had an impressive career. From being in the original Broadway production of Mary Poppins, to his stand-up special on Hulu, to now featuring in "Dickinson" on AppleTV+ Kevin's impact on the world is far greater than Youth Asylum.

Kevin details that experience for us and discusses his experiences trying to raise visibility for other folks within both the Asian and LGBTQ+ community.

DISCLAIMER - This is the first time I've put an explicit warning on an episode because of the final song that plays. However, we had to include it since it's Kevin's biggest hit. A mixture of comedy & music. Enjoy ;)
