Literature and Religion: Podcast with Kobukson
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve podcasted. Nearly a year. So I was happy to have been able to record a podcast with Kobukson.

The podcast is 27.3 mb and runs for about an hour. Download it here, or play it here:

Pageant Podcast
Last night, we recorded a podcast on pageants with Michelle Vlach-Ing, co-founder of Miss Asian Oregon, and Christina Fa, activist from California. Download it here, or hear it below:
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
It is 22.8 mB, 49:55 long. I was able to do a direct transfer to mp3 from GarageBand, so this time I won the battle of Mac Powerbook vs. Byron. The pageant is just two days away, and we wanted to get this up fast, so I didn’t get a chance to edit much. It’s almost raw footage. As always, thanks to Instant Conference for use of their recording platform.

Some of the stuff I'm working on
As I mentioned in my last post about the Thymos book project, I finished my submission. Actually, I finished my first submission. I enjoyed writing it so much that I’m now working on a second submission. My second submission is an essay about why Asian American literature is different from mainstream lit, how it is similar to mainstream lit, and how I hope Asian Americans can join the dialogue when it comes to human issues, even though our situation is very unique. I’ve already rewritten the first page at least three times, so blog posts will continue to be more sporadic than usual.
