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's first live radio interview

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.

Michael Vick ain't got nuthin on me!!!

After football player Michael Vick admitted that he had been running a dog-fighting business I wrote that he was an idiot. If he was going to engage in such activity he should have gone to Indonesia or somewhere else. He certainly had the money to do so at that time. If he knew then what he knows now then he would have spent $10 million to run his dogfighting ring in Manila. Today I did something that probably not even Michael Vick ever did: I ate dog meat. I never expected that I would do so. It is a bit scandalous because Koreans don't just kill the dogs and eat them. Rather, they will beat them to death while they are still alive. That allegedly is to get the adrenaline flowing which allegedly makes the meat more tender which allegedly improves a man's stamina. I had told a friend that I wanted to give it a try. But as we sat down to eat I said: "I want to try this but don't give me any details until after we are finished eating." It just looked like regular me...

Back in America, 4 days and counting

I got back a few days ago, I'm still unpacking... Some of the highlights so far: * Friday morning I was in the audience for a CNN/The Root discussion about being Young and Black in America . As a veteran of so many of these Washington talking events I am less than enthusiastic about them these days. Still, I bumped into a few friends, some of whom are neither young nor black. The discussion seemed so 1980s, with the panelists trying to figure out how to politically empower young black people. I guess it was appropriate then that the head of the NAACP was there. His most irrelevant concern was about hate talk radio...or I guess Rush Limbaugh being on the air all these years explains the high level of black-on-black crime. 20 years later, how is the Stop the Violence movement working out? The highlight of this particular panel was running into old friend David Plotz, who is now editor of Salon Magazine. I don't think I've seen him since college but he recognized me. I forgot...
