The main Canuck here I (sometimes) give a different perspective. I used to be 'read only' but you can actually hear me via POP 88 on 8Asians podcasting sister site Popcast88.com. Always trying to find that right balance between fluff and substance, I tend to focus my interests in discovering different perspectives. Look forward to hearing (and perhaps seeing) things you wouldn't anywhere else. Current vice and embarrassingly obsessed with: Kpop group AFTER SCHOOL

POP 88 #42 – The House of Suh

POP 88 #42 - The House of Suh [ 31:39 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (327)

While there were a lot of really fascinating documentaries shown at this year’s Hot Docs World Documentary Festival in Toronto this past week, one of the more stand out ones was “The House of Suh”. Directed by Iris Shim, the documentary shows the rise and demise of a Korean-American family that was so intriguing, it was made into a TV film called, “Bad To the Bone” in 1997 starring Kristy Swanson and Jeremy London.

Global Talk Show: East vs. West Perspectives

Starting from Top to Bottom

Most people who follow my antics from POP 88 would know I LOVE watching Global Talk Show, an informal round table of “foreigners” living and working in Korea. Since my last post about this show, it has gone through a controversy which resulted in the entire production crew being fired resigning, added some male eye candy as a result (Poh, rowr!) and seems to have now gone through a format change involving questions relating to [...] Continue »

Grab Your Glowsticks! This was at the request of Cassandra who wanted to hear a para-trance/ eurobeat show. Since there are so many forms of trance music and everyone has their own opinion on it, I came up with this non-stop mix. Personally, I’m more of a house and club beat girl. Course, just hours after I finished the mix down, I got inundated with remixes for After School’s new track Bang! (You must check [...] Continue »

As promised, here are the first of three new episodes to make up for me getting busy/coming down with pneumonia. It was a slight challenge getting a hold of Director Lixin Fan. After all, his prestigious award-winning documentary film Last Train Home had him being invited to festivals left, right and center — not bad for a Canadian film and a debut feature for this young director from China. The podcast is, of course, the [...] Continue »

Fisting, and Other Useful Phrases

If ever you felt the urge to curse or talk dirty in another language – now you can in Mandarin thanks to NiuBi!, a recently published book by Eveline Chao. NiuBi! (Awesome!) In a very weird related/ yet unrelated tangent – NiuBi! is available for in store purchase in Toronto where as I Love Yous are for White People isn’t. Strange indeed.
