Lynn Nottage is joined by Soo Hugh for a conversation about approaches to adaptation for the screen, improving work-life balance by recentering collaboration, building the writers room for a show that spans several languages, countries, and times, and much more. Soo Hugh is a writer, showrunner and producer who cut her screenwriting teeth as a staff writer on shows like the AMC crime drama The Killing, the CBS sci-fi series Under the Dome. She then went on to serve as creator and showrunner for ABC's 2015 sci-fi series The Whispers and as the co-showrunner for the first season of the AMC supernatural anthology The Terror. She is currently the showrunner, writer, executive producer, and visionary behind the drama series Pachinko, based on the international bestselling novel of the same name by Min Jin Lee. Told in three languages – Korean, Japanese, and English – Pachinko follows the hopes and dreams of four generations of a Korean immigrant family as they leave their homeland in an indomitable quest to survive and thrive. Season 1 received the Peabody Entertainment Award, a Critics Choice Television Award for best foreign language series, an Independent Spirit Award for best ensemble cast in a scripted series, a Gotham Award for Breakthrough Series, and was notably elected as one of AFI's TV programs of the year. The series debuted on Apple TV+ in March 2022, and the highly anticipated season two premiered globally last summer. This episode is moderated by Lynn Nottage. Lynn is a screenwriter, playwright and installation artist. She is the first, and remains the only, woman to have won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama twice – for her plays Sweat and Ruined. As a screenwriter she was a writer and producer on the Netflix series She's Gotta Have It and a consulting producer on the third season of the Apple TV+ series Dickinson. --- Read shownotes, transcripts, and other member interviews: www.onwriting.org/ Follow the Guild on social media: Twitter: @OnWritingWGAE | @WGAEast Facebook: /WGAEast Instagram: @WGAEast
In this episode, the legendary Catherine O'Hara joins us for a lively and candid conversation about her latest show “The Studio,” her iconic career and the powerful women who've inspired her along the way. From taking a pay cut on “Home Alone 2" to shorten her shoot schedule (because who has time to sit around?) to working with the effortlessly charming Pedro Pascal on “The Last of Us,” Catherine shares her favorite behind-the-scenes stories. She also spills on the best Oscars after-party she's ever attended—and the mystery actor who gave her COVID-19. Plus, we dive into the impact of female studio heads like Donna Langley, Sherry Lansing, and Amy Pascal, and the incredible women shaping Hollywood today. And in a heartwarming turn, Catherine talks about her two sons—one who transformed her home during the pandemic and another making waves as a set dresser on Shogun, Pachinko, and Avatar.It's Catherine O'Hara like you've never heard her before.

Welcome back to a new Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week I'm chatting with two people - Shauna Llewellyn, the makeup department head, and Ryan Reed, the hair department head, behind Paramount+'s film ‘Star Trek: Section 31' film, starring Michelle Yeoh, which is out not on Paramount+, and 'Star Trek: Discovery'.In 'Star Trek: Section 31', Emperor Philippa Georgiou (Yeoh) joins a secret division of Starfleet tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets and must face the sins of her past. Shauna and Ryan previously worked together on ‘Star Trek: Discovery', which earned Shauna an Emmy nomination, so while familiar with the universe in ‘Star Trek: Section 31', they got to explore a section in space that we haven't seen in any Star Trek universe. As the film is set outside of Starfleet space, there were no pre-existing looks, and the team could really explore and push the envelope, which was perfectly showcased in the club scenes featuring party hair and makeup looks from across space.They also created multiple captivating looks for the main cast, including the two club looks for Rachel (Kacey Rohl), which are so different from her more natural look featured in the rest of the film that the audience can barely recognise her. For Michelle Yeoh's character, they also worked closely with her and the costume designer to create an edgy and glamorous look for a former ruthless empress unlike her clean star fleet member look from ‘Star Trek: Discovery'.Shauna's other previous work includes shows such as ‘Lost Girl', ‘Killjoys', ‘Private Eyes' and ‘Frankie Drake Mysteries', whilst Ryan has worked on ‘Pachinko', ‘The Umbrella Academy', ‘The Strain', and ‘Defiance'. Their current project is the upcoming series, ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy'.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

When executed as beautifully as this one, multigenerational novels are all consuming in the best way. Sandra Oh's performance of Min Jin Lee's audiobook makes the experience even more immersive. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Robin Whitten discuss this story of young Sunja, who is saved from ruin and moves from Korea to Japan. Thus a family tale begins and proceeds through four generations in the early 20th century. Oh is an outstanding narrator. Her pace is brisk yet easy to follow, and her crisp enunciation and gentle tone are a pleasure to hear. PACHINKO is a visit to another place and time, and Oh is an exceptional guide.

Episode 287. It's a snowy start to 2025, blessing Melissa with a sighting of the rare Snow Stan. Kyle still doesn't know how to drive but now has a new car. We catch up on winter break moviegoing and read over our media stats from 2024.

Melissa experiences the nearly four-hour epic The Brutalist, counts down her top moments in film and her playlist of favorite YouTube videos about media oddities and ill-advised craft experiments, and introduces us to Hundreds of Beavers, a movie that is easy to describe but difficult to believe.Click here to watch a video of this episode.

Rummana Hussain contemplates a universe where men want to smell like Trump. Hence, the prez elect is selling cologne. He'll sell anything knowing that MAGA will buy it. Also, Rummana vigorously defends Chicago voters after Ben asserts—they'd jump into the lake, if Baby Daley told them it was a good idea. And a few thoughts about Pachinko. Rummana is a columnist and editorial writer for the Sun-Times.

There's something about the idea of a ‘genius' that has always captivated us. Whether it's the artist painting their masterpiece or the entrepreneur betting on the future, we're captivated by people who seem to see the world differently – and stake everything on that vision. While Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos might be household names, there's one figure who I'd argue is even more fascinating: the maverick billionaire investor and founder of SoftBank, Masayoshi Son. Equal parts visionary and gambler, Masa as he's more commonly known has built an empire on being an early investor in companies like Alibaba, Yahoo and Uber. My guest today is Lionel Barber. Lionel is an acclaimed journalist and author, best known for his 15-year tenure as Editor-in-Chief at the Financial Times. A veteran reporter, over the course of his career he has conducted interviews with a real ‘who's who' of the international stage, including Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel, Barack Obama, Donald Trump. His recent book, Gambling Man: The Wild Ride of Japan's Masayoshi Son, takes readers on a journey through the life and business ventures of one of the tech world's most thrilling figures. The book is a great read, and I strongly recommend it for anyone who's interested in business, tech, or international affairs. It was such a pleasure to have the opportunity to sit down with Lionel and pick his brains, and I'm very pleased to be able to share our conversation with you. Lit with Charles loves reviews.

Featuring: Ammosart, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! We had a show where we were not certain we were going to record… and then suddenly essentially had everyone but Ashgar. Bel has been revisiting Starfield and talks about what a weirdly offputting game it is. From there Bel and Grace talk about their experiences with Dungeon Clawler which is essentially Peglin but with a Claw machine instead of Pachinko. Kodra has ventured forth into Veilguard and finds the pacing and structure a bit odd, so we talk about that and how it contrasts from the only Dragon Age game he has ever played, Origins. Tam talks about all of the stuff that has been going on this year in Star Citizen and how the free-fly event is less spectacular than previous outings. Tam also shares his experiences with Stars Reach Alpha and how he is not entirely certain what that game is trying to be. Topics Discussed: Starfield is Offputting Dungeon Clawler Veilguard Structure Star Citizen's 2024 Stars Reach Alpha

A conversation with Soo Hugh, showrunner and head writer of the critically acclaimed series Pachinko. Based on the bestselling novel by Min Jin Lee, the series follows four generations of a Korean family navigating life under Japanese occupation, war, and displacement. Soo Hugh discusses the deep emotional core of Pachinko, its exploration of family, identity, and survival, and how the characters' experiences speak to both a specific cultural context and universal themes of resilience and belonging. As Season 2 concludes on Apple Plus this week, Hugh offers insights into the challenges of adapting a multigenerational story for television, working with a multilingual, international cast and embracing cultural differences on set. Hugh goes on to describe how these cultural and linguistic elements enriched the storytelling, deepening the emotional resonance of Pachinko's universal themes of identity, belonging, and family. She highlights the importance of creating a collaborative environment where crew members from different countries learned from each other and discusses how Pachinko's themes resonate across borders, uniting cast and crew in a shared vision to create a deeply human story.

Summary: Welcome to spooky season (nerd edition) friends! Today Holly and Devin explore a joint favorite career through grim and gleeful stories - librarians. While both our hosts fantasized about working in libraries and being able to read all the time surrounded by thousands of books, they'll settle today for a chat about when librarians can use books for good, or for evil. Listen in to hear how librarians have important roles to play in any genre and are always a worthwhile addition to a good story. Topics Discussed: The Dagger (4:21): Holly discussed How Can I Help You by Laura Sims, a psychological suspense novel following Margot, a librarian in a small town public library. No one has any reason to suspect that Margot is in fact Jane, a nurse with a trail of premature deaths in her wake. Enter Patricia, a new reference librarian who starts working with Margot and gets curious about her past. Holly's key takeaways were: The suspense and writing of this novel stand out. Sims alternates between staggered timelines from Margot's and Patricia's points of view, with Margot's voice being especially crystal clear and unique. Sims explores themes of obsession and addiction; Margot is obsessed with and addicted to feeling as if she's “helping others” (in a very twisted way) and we watch Patricia become obsessed with Margot who acts as her muse (in a very twisted way). If you enjoy dark, almost so dark it's funny, character-driven suspense stories, especially involving libraries and medical malpractice, this story is for you. The Heart (14:28): Devin discussed The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna, a novel following Mika Moon, one of the few witches in Britain, as her solitary life is upended by an invitation to tutor three young witches in the remote and mysterious Nowhere House in Norwich. Finding community she's never had, Mika must also navigate her simmering dynamic with the handsome (if standoffish) librarian of the house, Jamie. Devin's key takeaways were: Everything about this book screams “cozy” and sparkles and safety and joy. Even when a dead body is uncovered it's somehow beautiful. Magic in this book floats around like gold dust and Mika can see it around her; it's rambunctious and well-meaning but gets up to tomfoolery. The biggest struggle Mika, Jamie and the other characters in this book must confront is their own loneliness. Mandanna does an incredible job articulating this complicated emotion and how it can impact adults and children alike; it's a manifesto on the importance of human connection. Nowhere House has a special collection of very rare books and Jamie presides over this unique and beautiful section of an otherwise chaotic house. The importance of books, reading, and the physical space Jamie guards and protects plays a major role in the story.

”I've come to my parents with challenges and they say, keep working hard, keep pushing through it — they're so used to working 12 hour days, making ends meet — it's interesting to see them understanding my career.” Raman recently moderated a community conversation on "Building Bridges across Generations" for the inaugural Asians in Marketing and More summit - where we explored the personal and professional expectations of work and family across different generations. We explored how we, as a professional community can support the next generation of leaders. Moderating the panel was a real treat - especially in sharing stories on stage - and getting to know fellow purpose-driven Asian business leaders.

“Sometimes I think [the show Pachinko] is almost too personal. I feel like every show, you look at it and say, ‘How much of myself is in this show?' I did a show [The Whispers] about children who were communicating with an invisible alien force and somehow, I had to figure out how to make it part of me as well. We try to put ourselves in as much of our work as possible. But with this show, the tipping point almost fell in the other direction, where I felt so personally invested. I felt very much like this is my family's story, as well. That responsibility sometimes felt burdensome. So many of the cast and crew have said that there's a responsibility with this show that almost feels too much. But at the end of the day I think it's a thing that made us work harder. I think the show is as good as it is because people cared,” says Pachinko showrunner and creator Soo Hugh about making the story personal to her. In this episode, we speak to Hugh about the challenges of writing a show where characters speak in three languages, making the characters relatable to an American audience, and the responsibility of telling the stories of strong women over generations. “In Korean families, we always have these jokes that everyone knows who's running the house – your mother! I think it's the strength of Korean women that have just carried us through,” she says. We even ask Hugh about her work on one of my favorite shows The Terror, and what she thinks really happened to the real-life British crew on the Terror and Erebus ships that got stuck in the Artic ice. Her answer may surprise you. To hear more, listen to the podcast.

Life got a little busy, so no new episode this week. BUT, here's an episode from our first year that I really enjoyed recording. When Pachinko Season 1 came out, I jumped on a call with our pal Julia from the Asian Soup Podcast to talk about it. Jules was the perfect co-host because her family has roots in Korea and her grandparents lived for several years in Osaka roughly around the same time period that this drama takes place! Season 2 of Pachinko is currently airing on Apple TV+. It is a gorgeously shot and well-acted drama based on Min Jin Lee's award-winning novel that spans 7 decades of one family's life in 20th Century Korea and Japan. If you can, you should definitely watch it! Special thanks to Jules for coming on the show with me! It's hard to believe we recorded this over 2 years ago, time sure flies! Please go check out her and Roxanne's podcast @asiansouppodcast wherever you get podcasts or on YouTube! #pachinko #minjinlee #kdrama #asian #asianamerican #asianpodcast #asianamericanpodcast #representationmatters #veryasian

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 36! It's time to talk about iconic Asian candies again! These are candies and confections that originated in Asia but have meant a lot to people worldwide in the Asian diaspora. Today we're here to share the history of Botan Rice Candy and Dragon's Beard Candy. Have you tried either? We think they're worth looking for if you haven't. Both are generally vegan and gluten-free, so they're good for most people. If you have a nut allergy, you should avoid Dragon's Beard, or you can make it yourself without nuts. If you like celebrating iconic Asian Candies, then check out S03E44 where we talk about White Rabbit and Kopiko as well as S03E47 where we talk about Hi-Chew and Haw Flakes. To begin the episode, we catch-up on a few current events including the Paralympics. In our recurring segment, we have another installment of “What Are We Watching?”, and we wax poetic about the Acolyte on Disney+ and Pachinko on Apple TV+.

As the acclaimed Apple TV series returns for a second season, we revisit Rebecca's interview with show creator Soo Hugh. The pair discuss the emotional pitch process, international shoots, and Asian representation in Hollywood.
Soo Hugh is known for The Killing, The River, Under the Dome, The Terror, and See. Most recently, however, she serves as showrunner, executive producer, writer, and visionary behind the drama series PACHINKO which debuted on Apple TV+ in March 2022. Based on the international best-selling novel of the same name, the series follows the hopes and dreams of four generations of a Korean immigrant family. Epic in scope, intimate in tone, the story begins with a forbidden love and crescendos into a sweeping saga that journeys between Korea, Japan, and America to tell the unforgettable story of war and peace, love and loss, triumph and reckoning. In this interview, we talk about the importance of working with experienced showrunners and building relationships in the industry, her show Pachinko, the evolving television landscape, the upcoming film adaptation of Tender is the Night, plus some advice for aspiring writers.

Nick welcomes Dan Fienberg, TV critic from The Hollywood Reporter and The Fien Print, to discuss the latest developments in "Big Brother" Season 26 and the entire run and series finale of "Evil." Dan also reviews the new documentary "Chimp Crazy" and shares his thoughts on his favorite show right now, "Pachinko." They talk about the disappointing summer TV season, the coverage of the DNC, Dan's recent trip to New York, and much more. Then, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to taste more snacks from Africa, take a fun quiz, and chat about those times when you go to a concert and find that the opening acts are better than the headliners.

Have you felt completely overwhelmed when deciding what new show to watch these days? Us too. There's just so much content out there between network TV and numerous streaming platforms. Each week, we will try to break through the noise with TV watchers who can point us to the must-sees and steer us clear of the shows that maybe don't live up to the hype. This week, listeners will get the latest scoop on what's worth watching with Roxana Hadadi, TV critic for Vulture, and Liz Shannon Miller, senior entertainment editor at Consequence. This week's shows include: Homicide: Life on the Street [premiered in 1993] (Peacock) The New York Times Presents: Lie To Fly (FX / Hulu) Solar Opposites [Season 5] (Hulu) Pachinko [Season 2] (Apple TV+) Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Paramount+)
We made it! 300 episodes (not counting the many episodes of Pilot+ or the spoiler specials) feels like quite the milestone, even if we weren't able to do a live show because James has tickets to see Taylor Swift. He did manage to drag himself away from Eras Tour prep (those friendship bracelets don't make themselves) to drop in and join Boyd and Kay for the 300th show, though, despite being on holiday. Could it be because Boyd and Kay both refused to watch yet another Walking Dead show? No comment. We do, however, get a run down of Dead City on Sky, as well as round two of Pachinko on Apple TV+, We Might Regret This on BBC2, and the return of Sherwood on BBC1, and on the subject of Sherwood, the creator and writer of the show, James Graham, is this week's guest. Plus we have a few of you on as Well, leaving us testimonials to mark our threehundredieth birthday. Hooray!
As part of its recent "100 Best Books of the 21st Century" project, The New York Times Book Review is interviewing some of the authors whose books appeared on the list. This week, Min Jin Lee joins host Gilbert Cruz to discuss her novel, as well as the book she's read the most times — George Eliot's "Middlemarch."“I'm willing to say it's the best English language novel, period. Without question,” Lee says. “George Eliot is probably the smartest girl in the room ever as a novelist. She really was a great thinker, a great logician, a great empathizer and also a great psychologist. She was all of those things. And she was also political. She understood so many aspects of the human mind and the way we interact with each other. And then above all, I think she has a great heart.”
You might not know a lot about your parent's life before they had you: their childhood dreams, their first love, their heartbreaks. If you're a child of immigrants, there might be even less you know due to language barriers or traumatic experiences. But all of these things are passed down through generations. This episode, journalist and writer Aarti Shahani interviews Min Jin Lee, author of Pachinko, and three other writers about how to unpack your parent's past with them — and how doing so can both bring you closer and help you better understand yourself.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
