There are around 300,000 Thai Americans but almost 5,000 Thai restaurants in the United States. To understand how Thai restaurants became so ubiquitous in the US, we dive into the history of how Thai cuisine arrived in the US before Thai immigrants started to arrive in large numbers, and how Thai Americans capitalized on the popularity of their food to find their niche in the US economy. I'm joined in this episode by Associate Professor of Asian and Asian American Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Dr. Mark Padoongpatt, author of Flavors of Empire: Food and the Making of Thai America.

In our curated poetry content episode, Assistant Poetry Editor Brynn Bogert invites three Sarah Lawrence graduate poets to share current work and to discuss the various facets of their pieces in casual post-reading interviews. We hear from Shuang Ang, Emma Stewart, and Lucy Walker. Throughout these poems, a sense of permeability and duality weaves itself into three very different narratives. These poems explore borderlands; thresholds; tent flaps, and the impermanence of petals and pearls. They travel the spaces between what is true, what is allowed, and what is lurking just beneath or behind what our eyes can register. Theme music for the podcast was composed by musical artist and producer, Myles Karp.

Firefly is excited to launch our spring genre-specific series. This episode is brought to you by Casey Haymes, LUMINA’s Nonfiction Editor. Last month, Casey brought to the studio three Sarah Lawrence MFA writers with distinct voices, whose pieces all happen to orbit a unifying question: what does it mean to be at home? While these essays explore a range of styles and themes, each one engages in contemplation of what it means to be at home; whether that home is defined as a body, a city, a society, or a religion. Through their musings, we begin to get a sense for what it means inhabit the spaces where we find ourselves, and to find ourselves changed by that space. This episode features the work of Brynn Bogert, Amanda Claire Buckley, and Vanessa Friedman. Theme music for the podcast was composed by musical artist and producer, Myles Karp.

Today, in this episode, we’re casting a light to voices across worlds, and to all the worlds in between. We have poetry and prose which capture the places created by the voices inside of the different lives we lead: the world of childhood perspective in the face of a catastrophic flood, featuring Jack Human. The world we hold inside ourselves in the face of family and community, and the places we take refuge and rebellion – including the fridge. We also have worlds inside walls, and the creatures that wiggle through them. And, finally, we have a question about this world: who do we write stories for? A feminist perspective on the MFA workshop. Contributors include: “The Holy Flood” by Vanessa Stone. “Ode to Joy,” “No,” “Matriphagy” by Shu Yang “In Search for Audience: Can a South-Asian Writer Speak To The World?” by Meher Manda “Nobody said anything about the pig” by Rhea DhanBhoora Theme music composed by musical artist and producer, Myles Karp.
