Author Nicole Chung was born to Korean immigrants in Seattle and later adopted by a white couple in Southern Oregon. The 2018 memoir “All You Can Ever Know” follows Chung’s exploration of her identity as a transracial adoptee as she searches for her birth family. Her second memoir, released earlier this month, covers the untimely deaths of her adoptive parents — first her father from kidney disease, then her mother from cancer in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. “A Living Remedy” chronicles Chung’s grief and rage as she reckons with ways financial instability and inadequate health care access contributed to her parents’ deaths.

We cannot separate grief from the context in which it occurs. This is true for Nicole Chung whose adopted parents died just two years apart in 2018 and 2020. The world of 2018 was very different than that of 2020. In 2018, Nicole and her mother could grieve for her father, together and in person. In 2020, Nicole was on the other side of the country, grieving for her mother in isolation during the early days of the pandemic. The other context that played a role in her parents's lives and their deaths is the structural inequality that exists in the U.S. economy and end of life care. Nicole chronicles all of this in her new memoir, A Living Remedy.  We discuss: How hard it is to describe people and what they mean to us What it was like to be cut off from more traditional grief rituals during the pandemic Grieving an unexpected vs (more) expected death Learning to distinguish between guilt and regret How grounding her parents' deaths in a larger context helped alleviate some of her guilt The pressures Nicole felt to care for her parents as an only child in a working class family What it costs to die and grieve in the U.S. The unacknowledged grief of being a transracial adoptee Approaching the 4-year anniversary of her mother's death Nicole Chung's A Living Remedy was named a Notable Book of 2023 by The New York Times and a Best Book of the Year by over a dozen outlets, including Time, USA Today, Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, Electric Literature, and TODAY. Her 2018 debut, the national bestseller All You Can Ever Know, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, a semifinalist for the PEN Open Book Award, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection, and an Indies Choice Honor Book. Chung's writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, Time, The Guardian, GQ, Slate, Vulture, and many other publications. Previously, she was digital editorial director at the independent publisher Catapult, where she helped lead its magazine to two National Magazine Awards; before that, she was the managing editor of The Toast and an editor at Hyphen magazine. In 2021, she was named to the Good Morning America AAPI Inspiration List honoring those “making Asian American history right now.” Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, she now lives in the Washington, DC area.

Episode Notes November is National Adoption Month, which adoptees have reclaimed as National Adoptee Awareness Month (NAAM). In honor of NAAM, this month on Let's Grab Coffee, I'm featuring conversations with authors of books that center adoptee voices. In the last few years, loss and grief have become a shared collective experience, particularly in the wake of the COVID19 pandemic. This period has also put the inequities in the U.S. healthcare system front and center along with the ways that what has been “normal” has often been harmful or unsustainable. In A Living Remedy: A Memoir, Nicole Chung shares her personal experience of loss and grief and connects it to the broader systemic failures that countless Americans have encountered and are one emergency away from encountering. Nicole Chung is the author the national bestseller All You Can Ever Know, which was named a Best Book of the Year by over twenty outlets, including NPR, The Washington Post, and Time. She is currently a contributing writer at The Atlantic, a Time contributor, and a Slate columnist. In 2021, she was named to the Good Morning America AAPI Inspiration List honoring those “making Asian American history right now.”

This week, bestselling author Nicole Chung discusses her new memoir, A Living Remedy, with Nina Li Coomes. The following conversation originally took place May 16, 2023 and was recorded live via Zoom. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HOME More about A Living Remedy: From the bestselling author of All You Can Ever Know comes a searing memoir of family, class and grief—a daughter's search to understand the lives her adoptive parents led, the life she forged as an adult, and the lives she's lost. "In this country, unless you attain extraordinary wealth, you will likely be unable to help your loved ones in all the ways you'd hoped. You will learn to live with the specific, hollow guilt of those who leave hardship behind, yet are unable to bring anyone else with them." Nicole Chung couldn't hightail it out of her overwhelmingly white Oregon hometown fast enough. As a scholarship student at a private university on the East Coast, no longer the only Korean she knew, she found community and a path to the life she'd long wanted. But the middle class world she begins to raise a family in — where there are big homes, college funds, nice vacations — looks very different from the middle class world she thought she grew up in, where paychecks have to stretch to the end of the week, health insurance is often lacking, and there are no safety nets. When her father dies at only sixty-seven, killed by diabetes and kidney disease, Nicole feels deep grief as well as rage, knowing that years of precarity and lack of access to healthcare contributed to his early death. And then the unthinkable happens — less than a year later, her beloved mother is diagnosed with cancer, and the physical distance between them becomes insurmountable as COVID-19 descends upon the world. Exploring the enduring strength of family bonds in the face of hardship and tragedy, A Living Remedy examines what it takes to reconcile the distance between one life, one home, and another — and sheds needed light on some of the most persistent and grievous inequalities in American society.

Author Nicole Chung was born to Korean immigrants in Seattle and later adopted by a white couple in Southern Oregon. The 2018 memoir “All You Can Ever Know” follows Chung's exploration of her identity as a transracial adoptee as she searches for her birth family. Her second memoir, released earlier this month, covers the untimely deaths of her adoptive parents — first her father from kidney disease, then her mother from cancer in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. “A Living Remedy” chronicles Chung's grief and rage as she reckons with ways financial instability and inadequate health care access contributed to her parents' deaths. Chung will be at Powell's City of Books on Thursday, April 20, for a conversation with Lydia Kiesling. She joins us to talk about her most recent work.

Jennifer Kim movingly narrates a raw and relatable memoir about grief and loss from Nicole Chung, author of ALL YOU CAN EVER KNOW. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Emily Connelly discuss Chung's story of moving away from her parents and starting her own family, and the heartbreaking loss of both of her parents. Kim's somber narration sensitively navigates the immense guilt and grief that Chung experiences having been far from her parents when they parents died and unable to help.

Segunda-feira, 17 de abril de 2023. Eu sou Leo Lopes e está no ar o décimo primeiro episódio do Castnews, o podcast semanal de notícias para podcasters. Aqui você ouve, toda segunda-feira pela manhã, um resumo das principais notícias sobre o mercado de podcast no Brasil e no mundo. Podcasts como o futuro do mercado editorial, a rede de podcasts do Baby Shark, a parceria entre o Spotify e o aplicativo Strava e a aquisição do Podcast Business Journal pelo Podnews estão entre as principais notícias que você vai ouvir nesta edição do Castnews! Notícias 01 – A primeira notícia vem do Reino Unido para o mundo: revistas e jornais têm enfrentado declínio nas últimas décadas, com a circulação de material impresso diminuindo significativamente a cada dia. Editoras relataram que as receitas de anúncios e de assinaturas estão abaixo do esperado, fazendo com que elas busquem alternativas. Com isso, de acordo com um relatório do Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, mais de 70% dos veículos impressos no Reino Unido planejam investir em podcasting como uma forma de diversificar seus modelos de receita. Os podcasts podem fornecer uma nova forma de consumir notícias e informações valiosas para um público mais nichado, o que a gente já tem falado por aqui nos últimos episódios, além de apresentarem uma nova oportunidade de gerar receita através de publicidade e marketing para assinaturas. Os podcasts estão sendo vistos como um canal transmídia que pode agregar valor à identidade de uma marca, em um cenário de mídia digital em constante evolução. Ler a notícia completa 02 – Você já deve ter visto clubes do livro por aí, mas já viu um clube de audiolivros? A Lemonada Media e a Apple Books lançaram o The Lemonada Book Club, um programa digital gratuito que combina audiolivros e podcasts de não ficção. A cada mês, serão selecionados audiobooks interessantes em uma variedade de tópicos e gêneros. Os membros do clube vão receber recomendações de audiolivros relacionados aos podcasts da Lemonada, terão a oportunidade de ouvir os autores dos títulos selecionados e também de participar de eventos da comunidade digital. A primeira rodada de seleções inclui títulos como “A Living Remedy” de Nicole Chung e “You Could Make This Place Beautiful” de Maggie Smith. Os membros podem encontrar todas as seleções no Apple Books e acompanhar as atualizações nas redes sociais da Lemonada Media e da Apple Books. Ler a notícia completa 03 – O Headliner, plataforma de criação e compartilhamento de audiogramas para podcasters, atingiu a marca de mais de 1 milhão e 700 mil audiogramas de episódios completos. Desde o seu lançamento há quase 5 anos, o Headliner tem ajudado podcasters em todo o mundo a conectar milhões de ouvintes aos seus podcasts favoritos e a descobrir novos podcasts. Os audiogramas de episódios completos são um dos formatos mais populares da plataforma, permitindo que os podcasters convertam seus arquivos de áudio em arquivos de vídeo postáveis e compartilháveis, ampliando seu alcance e engajamento com o público. A plataforma também lançou o recurso de audiogramas automáticos em 2019, que cria e publica automaticamente audiogramas de episódios completos toda vez que um novo episódio de podcast é lançado, agilizando o processo de criação de conteúdo. Em meados de 2021, os audiogramas automáticos se tornaram o principal produto de criação de audiogramas na plataforma. O Headliner projeta que a popularidade dos audiogramas vai continuar a crescer no futuro. Ler a notícia completa AINDA EM NOTÍCIAS DA SEMANA: 04 – A Podcast Radio lançou uma produtora de podcasts que oferecerá soluções de produção de ponta a ponta para parceiros de marca em todo o mundo. Os podcasts serão produzidos e distribuídos na plataforma da Podcast Radio, bem como em outras plataformas populares como Apple, Spotify e Google. A empresa também vai oferecer oportunidades promocionais, incluindo campanhas publicitárias e entrevistas no ar com os apresentadores ou colaboradores dos podcasts. O objetivo da Podcast Radio é levar conteúdo de podcast aos ouvintes de rádio, e expandir sua programação para estações de rádio e grupos nos Estados Unidos em breve, em parceria com a KMG Networks. Além disso, a empresa está desenvolvendo novas produções nos temas True Crime, Comédia e Negócios, que serão apresentadas lado-a-lado com seu canal de rádio e extensões da marca.

Outros podcasts como Wasabicast, Otaku no Kissaten, Press Start Cast e Nabecast também participaram do encontro. O evento foi transmitido ao vivo e pode ser assistido na íntegra no Youtube. Os podcasters brasileiros radicados no Japão ficaram emocionados e relataram a honra de poder falar diretamente com esse ídolo. Mauricio de Sousa e Alice Takeda também se emocionaram com o carinho dos fãs. Esse ano é importante pro Mauricio de Sousa, já que a personagem Mônica completa 60 anos, e ele também oficializou sua candidatura à Academia Brasileira de Letras. Além disso, ele foi homenageado pela Câmara de Comércio Brasileira no Japão com o prêmio “CCBJ Awards Person of the Year”, em reconhecimento ao seu destaque na relação bilateral entre Brasil e Japão. Ler a notícia completa 06 – O Spotify fez parceria com o Strava, um serviço de rastreamento de exercícios físicos com recursos de redes sociais. Agora, os usuários podem ouvir músicas, podcasts e audiolivros do Spotify enquanto usam o Strava para acompanhar suas atividades de treino, eliminando a necessidade de alternar entre aplicativos.

Nicole Chung's first memoir, All You Can Ever Know, recounts her story growing up adopted – a young Asian American woman in a predominantly white town in Oregon — and her journey to retrace her roots. Her new memoir, A Living Remedy, takes a closer look at Chung's adoptive parents and their financial struggles throughout her life, up until they both died within a year of each other. As she tells NPR's Steve Inskeep, her grief coalesced with a deep resentment for the social systems she felt should've taken better care of her family.

Chung talks with us about privilege and class, how writing this memoir changed her, her literary influences and more with Poured Over host, Miwa Messer.

Have you heard the conventional narrative that parents who adopt are “saviors,” and kids who are adopted should feel unfettered gratitude? What impact does this narrative have when it comes to the complications many adoptees experience? In her recent conversation in the Atlantic with fellow adoptee Tony Hynes, writer Nicole Chung and Hynes dig into the nuances of trans-racial adoption, birth family connection and what it means to grow up hearing you were “saved.” They join us to rethink adoption narratives. Guests: Nicole Chung, author of "All You Can Ever Know" and the forthcoming "A Living Remedy;" writer of the column "I Have Notes" for The Atlantic Tony Hynes, Ph.D. candidate and training specialist in adoption; author of "The Son With Two Moms"
