On this episode of Below the Radar B-Sides, our host Am Johal is joined by Ming Wong, Singapore-born and Berlin-based contemporary artist. Together, they chat about Ming's artistic practice, his research into Cantonese Opera cinema, approach to pedagogy, and the advantages of being at the fringe looking in. You can see Ming's installation “Vast Oceans, Endless Skies / 海闊天空” in the Chinese Canadian Museum's exhibition Dream Factory: Cantopop Mandopop 1980s-2000, on until May 31, 2026.

His interdisciplinary practice incorporating performance, video and installation unravels ideas of ‘authenticity' and the ‘other' with reference to the act of human performativity. In recent years, he has had strong theatrical interests in the intersection of sci-fi and traditional Chinese culture, particularly Cantonese opera. Wong uses this speculative association to tackle issues such as Chinese modernity, the role of popular culture in building national identities. His works often assemble languages and personalities to create their own “World Cinema”.

Michael Hughes is a biochemist, water researcher and friend of the podcast with a passion for philosophy, mythology, and esoteric traditions. In this conversation, we explore the historical tension between priesthood and prophecy, the way science has replaced religion as a cultural authority, and ask why no society has ever thrived without a shared mythos. The discussion touches on mythology as a guiding force, Rudolf Steiner's spiritual dualism, the balance between materialism and mysticism, the promises and failures of technology, transhumanism, and AI. We also dive into the rise of UFOs and alien narratives as new messianic myths, the enduring metaphor of Atlantis, and the possibility of building a functional metaphysical framework for chaotic times.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs0900:00 Go!

What if the Bible isn't something you read—but something you hear, memorize, and perform? In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Fausto Liriano shares his work translating the Bible into indigenous languages without writing it down. Through oral Bible translation projects in Guatemala, Mexico, and the Philippines, Dr. Liriano helps communities internalize Scripture in their own languages—through performance, storytelling, and memorization. He explains how this work challenges not only Western assumptions about literacy and theology, but also confronts colonial patterns in missionary work, translation philosophy, and even what counts as “canonical” Scripture. The episode explores how indigenous languages often mirror Hebrew's poetic ambiguity more than Spanish or English do, why repetition and redundancy are theological tools, and how people with no formal education are memorizing and performing hours of biblical material with precision and reverence. Dr. Liriano also reflects on the need for contextual theology in Latin America—one that isn't imported from the North, but developed by the people, for the people. He calls for a theology of corruption, of wholeness, and of embodied participation in God's word.

In this powerful episode, Jeff Fiegenschuh talks about his approach to community engagement, connecting with staff, and building relationships with his elected officials as the city manager for Rochelle, Illinois. What prompted my desire to interview Jeff was the fact that he contributes a monthly column to his local paper and I believe most executives fail to take advantage of this effective technique to connect with residents, showcase the work of staff, and elevate the standing of their elected officials. Jeff also sits down for regular interviews with the local radio station and encourages his staff to participate in interviews with the radio station, too. While discussing his love for Star Wars, tattoos, and the Boston Red Sox, Jeff also touches on how important it is for public sector executives to have a life and an identity outside of work.
