Aural Fixation recently hosted a story slam as part of the Firethorne Literary Magazine's Spring Release.
Welcome to Aural Fixation the podcast for this final episode from Zhuhai. The story is a bit shorter this week than you are used to, but it summarizes what has been one of the semester’s slowest and most relaxing weeks. The new year is here, and in many ways a new year can symbolize a [...]
“It’s safe to say that Charlie Brown would probably find Christmas in China the most vulgar and offensive exploitation of the holiday imaginable,” was my first thought after watching the timeless Christmas feature in which he stars on a brisk—but far from cold—Christmas morning just before calling my family on Skype. The expat bar called [...]
Welcome back to Aural Fixation the Podcast from China loyal listeners, after a two week hiatus while I was in Beijing we are back with a new episode that I wrote while sitting in one of the Hong Kong Airport’s fine dining establishments and the China Ferry Terminal’s Starbucks. It’s getting close to the end [...]
In an oddly serious show, Spence and Conor discuss FCC v. Fox a Supreme Court case argued this week in history, a case which dealt with fleeting explitives. Those with children in the room be aware, this show contains fleeting explitives. Tune in, and enjoy the show.
Here is the audio from last week’s podcast. I apologize for the delay, I was a bit ill and did not have quite the vocal stamina to maintain the podcast. As a result watch for another one later today, as I’ll be recording an episode about Thanksgiving in China. It’s a bit of an injustice to [...]
“Mr. Boone, you are asked to join Professor Kwok, along with Professor Holbrook, Professor Joyce Pfaff and her Husband, and Pat and Bill this evening at 6:30 PM. Please meet them here at 6:20 to take a bus to the restaurant.” I looked up upon hearing my name—I was reading outside of the [...]
Room 409 in Block 4 of the new dormitory complex at United International College is a cozy room sleeping two; the building is so new that it is not even finished yet. It is substantially finished, meaning it will not fall over, and the fundamental pieces of its construction are complete. The windows shut, the [...]
I’ve intentinoally been spending as much time alone as possible this week. Initially it was because I was homesick for the first time since my arrival and I thought I needed some space from the noise and commotion of my normal affairs here. It’s given me time to reflect on this experience, which is now [...]
This week’s podcast will focus on the remakable differences in social behavior I have noticed in my now three weeks here in Zhuhai. I was standing in a supermarket, the one near the bank I use here, a couple weeks ago. I was looking for a few things, including a cheap pair of chopsticks for your [...]
Con-Dawg and Spence-Bruff came back from Fall Break with a vengeance and with some words to say to their massive, worldwide audience. On tap tonight were topics ranging from crazy sports press conferences, prison shanks, signed photos from that a-hole Hitler, and the Radiohead cover band playing next door during the show. If none of [...]
Bizzy and Bruffy returned from a one-week (or two-week?) hiatus to ramble and rumble and waste an hour of your time. We were going off of a combined 5-to-6 hours of sleep the night before and were relying on the inverse property theory of “Little Sleep Equals Big-Time Radio” first put forward by a certain [...]
Earlier this week Bill from International Development told you two things: first, that there will be some kind of gathering among the students who went to Gustavus this summer, and second, that his office is going to set up a homestay for you so that you can experience life with a Chinese family. Great, you [...]
Upon arriving in HKG and making you way through the labyrinth of moving walkways and lighted signs the first shop you notice is the familiar green mermaid marking none other than Starbucks. In your passport you find your arrival card and you quickly fumble to get it ready with your address in Hong Kong; the [...]
