The Casey Lartigue Show!

  We will soon be launching the Casey and Yeon Mi Show. Too much to say so I will say it a bit later, too many to thank, so I will thank them all later. Special thanks to  My co-host Yeon Mi Park for agreeing to join me, even though English is not her first language.  김정호 who suggested the idea of me hosting an online show and then didn't complain as I completely changed the format, focus and found a co-host he had never met. 정규재 for agreeing to allow us to host the show on his channel Producer Kim Hyung Jin for his guidance. We had been expecting that our producer would give us some tips. After we got settled he said, "Go!" in Korean. And thus our podcast started. I pretended not to notice that Yeonmi was with me, she asked, "Am I invisible? But as I told her: She would be internationally known one day, I just hoped that she would remember my name. And she has! I wrote about it here a month later:  The Casey Lartigue Show with YeonMi Park! (koreatimes.co.kr) Yes, Ye...

  I was honored to be a featured speaker at the second-annual Asia Liberty Forum (ALF), hosted by the  A sia Center for Enterprise from Jan. 7-9 in New Delhi, India. As much as I enjoyed speaking and, as part of the entertainment, rapping to my revised version of Salt N Pepa's 1990s song "Whattaman," that couldn't compare to the thrill I had being able to introduce and moderate the closing address that was given by North Korean refugee Ju Chan-yang. I wrote about it in the Korea Times  and she had an incredible audio article about me . This event was a turning point for TNKR. After I returned from the trip, I told FSI co-founder Eunkoo Lee that we could do more with the little project, maybe even one day turn it into a real organization.  Join FSI's Patreon World:  FSI , Casey Lartigue , Greenlight to Freedom
