Chappell Roan's cancellation by a certain set of voters got us thinking: When do fandoms become toxic? How does “stanning” an artist, a politician, or a (literal) piece of work disproportionately push people who already live at the margins of our culture out of the culture entirely? This week, Katelyn and Christine nerd out on nerd culture's historically toxic fandoms with Jessie Earl, aka Jessie Gender, the YouTube essayist who hosts two popular channels. Together, they try to find the “nuance in the nerdy,” from the “Lord of the Rings” to the 2024 presidential election. And “Your Ombudsmom,” Christine's media critic alter ego, returns with her new regular segment. Stay tuned for out of context cancellations from Katelyn and Christine! In breaking news: You did it!

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.
How do parents who adopt kids from other countries use food to connect their children to their birthplace? And what happens when those kids grow up and feel like it wasn't enough? This episode originally aired on July 31, 2017. It was produced by Dan Pashman and Anne Saini, and edited by Dan Charles, with additional editing by Rebecca Carroll, Nicole Chung, and Peter Clowney. The Sporkful team now includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Nora Ritchie, and Jared O'Connell.

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.

Nicole Chung, author of All You Can Ever Know, has done it again with another wonderful memoir about growing up as a transracial adoptee and then losing both her adoptive parents. A Living Remedy is a story about family love and loss, regardless of how the family is formed.In this episode, we discuss:Family love.

Growing out of the socioeconomic level you were raised in.Your mother thought you were ashamed of them. What is middle class?There is a big difference between being working class and middle class.“Our “broke” bore no resemblance to my parent's “broke.” …We always had options.The impact of lack of money on health.Impact of Covid on families trying to care for loved ones.Your sister Cindy.

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. Who are you and how do you know? Much of our identity begins with our name and our family origin stories, but what happens when the stories you thought you knew begin to unravel? Questions of identity, family, and truth are at the center of Shannon Gibney's latest novel - The Girl I Am, Was, and Never Will Be: A Speculative Memoir of Transracial Adoption. On today's show I sit down with Shannon to discuss her book, some of the primary themes around adoption, race, and what we know or think we know, and how she's creating new stories about herself and adoption. Shannon Gibney is an award winning author and university professor. Her previous novels include See No Color and Dream Country. She is co-editor with Nicole Chung of When We Become Ours: A YA Adoptee Anthology.
Nicole Chung grew up as a transracial adoptee – and one of the few people of color in her Oregon hometown. Her lifelong journey of self-discovery and poignant, candid writing on the subject have positioned Chung as a singular voice in memoir. In her 2018 debut, All You Can Ever Know, Chung shares her search […] The post Club Book Episode 159 Nicole Chung first appeared on Club Book.
Should white parents adopt children of color? Today more than 40% of adoptions are transracial, so it's a conversation we need to have. November is National Adoption Month, so we're talking about adoption, ethnicity, adoptee and birth mom voices, and more on this episode with Dr. Brittany Salmon. As an adoptive mom herself, she offers a ton of wisdom and encouragement to adoptive parents. Adoption and cross-cultural adoption can be both hard and beautiful.

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.”

Many people struggling with money and healthcare coverage put off receiving earlier treatment or preventive care. Nicole's father didn't receive crucial treatment until the last possible moment in his diabetes, and he needed to be on dialysis. What would her parent's lives have looked like if he had access to treatment years before?The tricky nature of caretaking for your caretakers. It's a struggle to try to help parents, especially when parents want to protect their children from their hardships.

Episode 188 Notes and Links to Kavita Das's Work On Episode 188 of The Chills at Will Podcast, Pete welcomes Kavita Das, and the two discuss, among other things, her early trajectory towards becoming a writer, formative and transformative writers and writing, how writing her first book and working in social change led her to write Craft and Conscience, and ideas of history, forgotten histories, personal narrative, writing about emotional issues, the power of anthology and writing being in conversation with other writing, writing as political, and ideas of power. Kavita Das worked in social change for close to fifteen years, addressing issues ranging from community and housing inequities, to public health disparities, to racial injustice. Although Kavita remains committed to social justice issues, she left the social change sector to become a full-time writer and to tell the life story of Grammy-nominated Hindustani singer Lakshmi Shankar through her first book Poignant Song: The Life and Music of Lakshmi Shankar (Harper Collins India, June 2019). At the root of both her writing and social change work is Kavita's desire to provoke thought and engender change by recognizing and revealing the true ways in which culture, race, and gender intersect especially when it comes to societal inequities. Kavita has been a regular contributor to NBC News Asian America, Los Angeles Review of Books, and The Rumpus. In addition, her work has been published in WIRED, Poets & Writers, Catapult, LitHub, Tin House, Longreads, Kenyon Review, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, CNN, Guernica, McSweeney's, Fast Company, Quartz, Colorlines, Romper, and elsewhere. She was nominated for a 2016 Pushcart Prize. Kavita created the popular “Writing About Social Issues” nonfiction seminar, which inspired her second book, Craft and Conscience: How To Write About Social Issues, and has taught at the New School and Catapult, along with being a frequent guest lecturer. Her essays on social issues have been included in two creative writing textbooks. Kavita received a B.A. in Urban Studies from Bryn Mawr College and a M.B.A. in Marketing from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Nicole Chung has written two memoirs in five years—both about loss and family. The first is the highly acclaimed All You Can Ever Know which was a finalist for National Book Critics Circle Award. It explores the circumstances of her adoption as a Korean American by a white family who were advised take a colorblind approach to parenting, the implications of that decision for Chung, her successful search as an adult to find her birth family, and the loving support of her adoptive parents. Her recently released second memoir A Living Remedy deals with the deaths of her adoptive parents within a two year period, how the healthcare system failed her father, and Chung's struggle to balance the duties of a mother with that of a daughter as her terminally-ill mother who lived across the country went into hospice as the country shut down due to the pandemic. A Living Remedy deftly navigates personal loss with a hard look at broader societal issues and Chung discusses balancing between the two, the extraordinary difficulty in writing this memoir that has at its center the abiding love she shares with her parents, most particularly her mother, and finding grace as she learned to live with grief.

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. Kim sharply captures Chung's pointed criticisms of the U.S. healthcare system that failed her family because of their economic status. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website.

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.

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.
The Grammy-Award winning baritone first auditioned to play the Demon Barber of Fleet Street back in high school. He didn't get the part then; now he's starring in the Broadway revival. He spoke with Fresh Air's Ann Marie Baldonado about his affinity for Stephen Sondheim, poking fun at his own image on TV, and starting his singing career as a teen.Maureen Corrigan reviews Nicole Chung's new memoir, A Living Remedy.
“It was going to be a story about American instability, and precarity, and what happens when we aren't able to access the things that we need — and yet still have to try to care for each other anyway.” Nicole Chung's newest memoir, A Living Remedy, reflects on the tragic inequality of access to the American healthcare system and the way it directly affected her family.
