- “a word” [noun] – a short talk or conversation
- “A-Word” [noun] – a unit of the English language, starting with the letter ‘A’
8Asians’ The A-Word — the first official podcast of 8Asians.com — aims to be a fun conversation piece talking expertly about things we don’t know about, and having very serious debates about trivial things. Guests for this episode include Joz Wang (@jozjozjoz from 8Asians.com) and Dr. Ray Hsu (@TheWayofRay from TheWayofRay.com.)
For our very first episode, we’ll talk about the love fest at the BANANA 2 Conference, the use of food to describe Asian Americans and we play VERBAL VOMIT with attendees at the BANANA 2.
A bit of understanding is needed as Joz didn’t have a proper mic and headset to record with, and there are some audio issues from Verbal Vomit that I’m well aware of; it’s just that it would have been a shame if no one got to hear it. This is our first episode — warts and all — so any and all feedback, comments and suggestions are welcomed.
Many thanks to our Verbal Vomit Players: Cynthia Brothers of Bicoastal Bitchin, Anne of OneVietnam.org, Dr. Ray Hsu of The Way of Ray, Nelson Wong of AARisings and Tetsuro Shigematsu of Shiggy.com.
