2013-12-25 TBS eFM 101.3 "Main Street

 



Edward M. Robinson and I were guests this Christmas morning on Main Street hosted by Ahn Junghyun on TBS eFM 101.3. I'm a regular listener of the show, so I was delightful to join as a guest.

We were in studio to discuss HOPE (Helping Others Prosper Through English). 

I was also happy because I learned more about HOPE than I have at any other time. I learn about HOPE the way a man learns about fashion by listening to a podcast as he is running down the street getting dressed. Yes, I am learning, but it is on the run. I was named an International Adviser to the organization during the middle of a big project, and have kept moving ever since...

The host of the show creates a warm mood when she is talking with guests. Producer Euny Park and writers Jungmi Ahn Cote and Yujin Lee were delightful in greeting us and also making us feel comfortable.

I do want to point out one thing Eddie and I are pictured with four different Koreans in the various photos. Eddie is the only one doing the peace sign! Yes, Eddie, you have been in Korea for too long. 

Today was also a reminder about the many projects I am working on. At different points, I was talking about:

* HOPE (I'm the international adviser there)
* The Mulmangcho School (I'm the international adviser there)
* The Teach North Korean Refugees project (I'm the co-director and co-founder).




With Ahn Junghyun, host of "Main Street" on TBS eFM 101.3 this Christmas morning.

One of these people is not like the others...

Yes, Eddie, you have been in Korea for too long...

I'll be a guest on XM 169 The Power this morning from 10:15 a.m. EST. I'll be talking about teaching English abroad. I'll be interviewed by Brian Higgins of MYB Talk . I sang last night for about five hours with friends but I'm sure my voice will be fine. Tuesday, I'll be interviewed by a Harvard University representative who wants my input on a new doctoral program for education leaders . It is a collaboration between the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the Harvard Business School and the Harvard Kennedy School. Some folks at the Booker Rising site are (again) reminding me that I'm not as smart as I think I am. CJL

North Korean defector seeks justice (Korea Times)

  It was international news when 12 North Korean waitresses and a male manager who worked at a restaurant operated by the North Korean regime in China arrived in South Korea in 2016.  The waitresses have mostly maintained a low profile. There have been numerous accusations and assertions, with some saying the waitresses didn't want to escape, some accused the Park Geun-hye administration of playing politics by releasing details of the case, etc., etc., etc. My blog at the Korea Times today features an exclusive interview with one of the former North Korean waitresses who filed a criminal case against the former manager. You can read about it here on the Korea Times website. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/2023/02/728_345165.html   Keep in mind that there are many more facts to the case and that it is much deeper than this brief excerpt of her comments. She also shared legal documents that I shared with the Korea Times well in advance to give them time to review t...
