Hawaii Public Radio
So I was asked to be a part of a Korean panel last week for an interview on Hawaii Public Radio on Station 89.3FM. It was on a show called Business Beyond the Reef and it's an hour talk show.
The interview was from 5-6pm I was told that my portion would be in the 2nd half so I was to show up at around 5:15pm. But I wanted to get there early and check things out so I showed up right at 5pm. The first 3 guests were talking about politics, the visa waiver, and stuff like that. To be honest, I wasn't really paying attention cuz I was talking story with Professor Gary Pak who is a literature professor at UH and was part of the 2nd half panel with me. At 5:30, it was our time to go on.
The control panel
First was a call in guest, Mr. Kang of Coral Creek golf course talking more about the upcoming visa waiver. Then it was my turn to talk about Korean business in Hawaii. Who me? Yup! Pretty ridiculous, huh? Luckily I came prepared cuz I asked the host to email me the questions he might ask so I would have answers prepared and not fill the airwaves with "uh"s and "um"s and the like while I tried to think of somewhat sensible answers. Many many thanks go out to my 2 hyeongs who helped supply me with some great answers!
After me, it was Professor Pak talking about Korean entertainment and movies in particular. After him was Pastor Song who spoke about religion. Then it was a roundtable discussion on various subjects such as the increase in popularity of all things Korean and what our favorite Korean restaurant was (we all said Seoul Jung!).
It was my first radio interview and I have to say it was pretty fun.
The guest panel - Prof. Pak, host Al Adams, some goofball, and Pastor Song.
Here's a link to the entire show if for whatever insane reason you're interested in listening. I come in a little after the halfway point.
