As I Am – Asians In America

By John | Wednesday, June 4, 2008 | 4 Comments

Thanks for visiting 8Asians, a blog about Asian American issues. If you find this interesting, subscribe to the RSS feed, visit our Facebook Page or add us on Twitter!

As you know, May was Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. With that, the radio pilot program of “As I Am – Asians in America” ( http://www.asiam.us/) recently aired on the radio in a few select geographies, including the San Francisco Bay Area:

“As I Am is an hour-long program, hosted by author-activist Helen Zia, that examines the American experience — present, past, and future — with an Asian American lens. Through politics, arts, popular culture, history, and everyday encounters with the famous and not so famous, As I Am offers listeners a unique opportunity to learn from and about the nation’s dynamic Asian American community. In the process, those who tune in from all backgrounds will gain fresh perspectives on their own lives and experiences.”

Ever since KQED’s produced “Pacific Time” went off the air, there has been no radio programs devoted to Asian or Asian American issues, as far as I know. Hopefully As I Am will get funded and picked up by more stations in the future. You can download or play the MP3 of the program here.
