2019-12-13 Cherie Yang on TBS eFM

TNKR Special Ambassador Cherie Yang was interviewed live on the radio today. Some special things about it:

* Yes, LIVE on the radio. You can listen here.
* Cherie was interviewed along with me for a podcast a few years ago, but today was her first 1:1 live interview
* And it was in English. Even if I live to the age of 400, I am sure I will never do a live interview in Korean.

Cherie has been a regular panelist on TV talk shows, given speeches around the world including the USA, UK and South Korea, but she was nervous about this interview. I gave her tips during the week and met with her to help her get prepared.







Cherie was interviewed by Jasmine Lee, the former National Assembly member who is involved in many activities.


They took a few photos before getting started.


 TNKR's co-founders Casey Lartigue and Eunkoo Lee joined to cheer Cherie on.


I first met Jasmine around 2012 or 2013, we both had very different careers then. Jasmine interviewed me earlier this year as the start of TNKR appearing regularly on TBS eFM. Eunhee Park and Scott Kim were interviewed in October, and today Cherie Yang was a featured guest.

I have many roles in TNKR, and one is being a magnet attracting attention. I rarely turn down a media opportunity, but I make it a point to try to create opportunities for refugees in TNKR when it makes sense to do so.

Chosun Monthly magazine [Korean language]

  Chosun Monthly Magazine has made an announcement (in Korean) about the Seoul Honorary Citizenship award that I received on December 9, 2022.  Our Korean staffers say that the magazine is a big deal in South Korea. Here's the overall roundup of media about the award. In the next two months, I have extended interviews coming up in two different magazines, one in the USA and one in South Korea. Both articles will be in respected publications so they should raise awareness of FSI's work that your support makes possible. * * * Support FSI via Stripe or PayPal . https://donate.stripe.com/3cs28F5IAcc85IAaEF or PayPal .

Is the SOTU over?

  Some people asked me if I watched President Biden’s State of the Union. Haha! I have seen enough of them. Not just Biden’s SOTU, but SOTUs by US presidents!  Back in 1999, I not only watched President Clinton’s SOTU, but the Cato Institute gave me the task of keeping track of all of President Clinton’s proposals and promises. Since then I have watched few SOTUs, once as a blogger at the invitation of National Public Radio. https://tinyurl.com/3dv5y452
