Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Finding Connection in Shanghai's Winter Wonderland Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2025-12-17-23-34-02-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 上海的冬天像一幅油画，尤其是在新天地这个繁华的娱乐区。En: The winter in Shanghai is like an oil painting, especially in Xintiandi, this bustling entertainment district.Zh: 圣诞节的灯光灿烂夺目，到处洋溢着节日的气息。En: The Christmas lights are dazzling and bright, filled with a festive atmosphere everywhere.Zh: 空气中弥漫着热红酒和烤栗子的香味，虽然天气寒冷，但这儿的人们都洋溢着热情的笑容。En: The air is filled with the scent of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts.Zh: 在这样的一个冬日里，莲被她的朋友梅拉到了这处圣诞市场。梅知道莲是一个内向的人，假期时常常感到孤独。En: Although the weather is cold, people here are all brimming with warm smiles.Zh: 她认为莲应该多参与社交活动。莲偶尔也觉得寂寞，希望有人能分享她生活中的点点滴滴。En: On such a winter day, Lian was brought to this Christmas market by her friend Mei.Zh: “走吧，试试看，也许会有惊喜的发现。”梅鼓励道。En: Mei knew Lian was an introverted person who often felt lonely during the holidays.Zh: 莲信步游走于市场，两眼流连于各种手工艺品。En: She thought Lian should participate in more social activities.Zh: 她手持素描本，想把这些市集的热闹繁华记录下来，却心里挣扎于融入人群中。En: Lian occasionally also felt lonely, wishing someone could share the bits and pieces of her life.Zh: 不远处，有个年轻男子站在一个摊位旁边，他的眼神被莲的素描吸引住了。En: “Come on, give it a try, maybe you'll discover something surprising,” Mei encouraged.Zh: 这个人是勇，一个刚搬来上海，为工作繁忙奔走的程序员。En: Lian wandered through the market, her eyes lingering on various handicrafts.Zh: 勇也在寻找归属感，希望能在这座繁忙的城市找到连接。En: She held a sketchbook, wanting to capture the liveliness and prosperity of the market, yet struggled in her heart to blend into the crowd.Zh: 莲注意到勇正在注视她的画，心中一动，决定尝试迈出自己舒适圈的第一步。她挪到勇身边，略显紧张地说：“你好，你也喜欢画画？”En: Not far away, a young man stood next to a stall, his gaze attracted to Lian's sketching.Zh: 勇微微一笑，点了点头：“你好，这些画真好看，你是画家吗？”En: This person was Yong, a programmer who had just moved to Shanghai, busy running around for work.Zh: 莲不好意思地摇了摇头：“只是一名老师。我喜欢捕捉城市的活力。”En: Yong was also searching for a sense of belonging, hoping to find connections in this bustling city.Zh: 夜幕渐渐降临，市集里的灯光更加明亮温暖。En: Lian noticed that Yong was looking at her drawing, and she felt a stir in her heart, deciding to take the first step out of her comfort zone.Zh: 两人在灯光之下，开诚布公地分享起各自的兴趣和梦想。En: She moved to Yong's side and, slightly nervous, said, “Hello, do you like drawing too?”Zh: 莲发现，她和勇有太多相同的话题和想法。市集的喧闹声渐渐淡去，取而代之的是两人之间轻轻的低语。En: Yong smiled slightly and nodded: “Hello, these drawings are lovely, are you an artist?”Zh: 在这个看似偶然的境遇中，莲和勇发现了一种难得的默契。En: Lian bashfully shook her head: “Just a teacher. I love capturing the vitality of the city.”Zh: 当夜色愈发深沉，两人不舍地交换了联系方式。En: As night gradually fell, the lights in the market became brighter and warmer.Zh: “我们可以再见面，你觉得呢？”勇提议。En: Under the lights, the two openly shared their interests and dreams.Zh: 莲轻轻点头，心里升起一股从未有过的暖意：“好的，期待下一次。”En: Lian discovered that she and Yong had so many common topics and thoughts.Zh: 此时的莲，仿佛突然明白，在人生这幅画中，偶尔给自己留下一片净白去交与他人填充，也许就是最好的创作。En: The noise of the market gradually faded away, replaced by the soft whispers between the two.Zh: En: In this seemingly coincidental encounter, Lian and Yong discovered a rare rapport.Zh: En: As the night grew deeper, they reluctantly exchanged contact information.Zh: En: “We can meet again, don't you think?” Yong suggested.Zh: En: Lian nodded gently, a warmth she had never felt before rising in her heart: “Alright, looking forward to next time.”Zh: En: At this moment, Lian seemed to suddenly understand that in the painting of life, occasionally leaving a blank space for others to fill might be the best creation.

As her biennium comes to an end on 31 December, Soroptimist International President Siew Yong Gnanalingam shares a heartfelt farewell and thank you to Soroptimists around the world. In this special podcast episode, she reflects on her journey as President, the countries she has travelled to, the inspiring Soroptimists and partners she has met, and the lessons she has learned along the way. It is a warm and thoughtful look back at two years of service, connection and global impact. 

Price stability is the main goal for central banks, and monetary policy is how they achieve it. However, societies are always in flux, and central bankers who pay close attention to emerging trends are more likely to make better policy decisions. Bank of Korea Governor Chang Yong Rhee has expanded the scope of research to include structural issues like population aging to better understand the changing dynamics of Korea's economy. Before becoming Governor in 2022, Mr. Rhee held several senior roles in global financial institutions, including the IMF, where he led the Asia and Pacific Department.

This week Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys we celebrate the amazing, record-breaking, Singaporean distance running star, Soh Rui Yong, who made history at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2025 by clinching both the national half-marathon and marathon titles in back-to-back races. On December 6, Soh took the half-marathon crown in 1:14:58, and just a day later, he returned to the Padang to win the marathon in 2:46:23—his sixth consecutive national marathon title. The feat was far from easy. Soh recalls the toll of running over 63km in 24 hours, battling disrupted sleep and depleted energy levels. “I’m never doing that again,” he admitted after edging out compatriot Aaron Tan by just four seconds. Yet despite the exhaustion, Soh remains optimistic as he looks ahead to the SEA Games in Thailand, even as he faces uncertainty following an “abnormal” ECG result. We explore what this double victory means for his career, his resilience in the face of challenges, and his ambitions for the 10,000m gold medal and beyond.

Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys talk to Soh Rui Yong on the phone from Tokyo where he set a new Singapore 10,000m national record of 30min 33.29sec on Saturday while running at the Nittaidai Challenge. He first broke the 10,000m record 11.5 years ago by running 31:15. Talking to Singapore’s five-time national marathon champion, Rui Yong, is preparing for an unprecedented test of endurance at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon next weekend. For the first time, the half-marathon and full-marathon will be held on separate days—December 6 and 7—and Rui Yong is going to run both and aims to win both. Fresh off his 2024 national marathon title, Soh is aiming for a historic double victory while keeping his eyes firmly on the 10,000m gold medal at the upcoming SEA Games in Thailand. With the athletics competition scheduled just days after the marathon weekend, his decision raises eyebrows: is this a daring strategy or sheer madness? Rui Yong shares his mindset, training approach, and why this double-up challenge is also a stepping stone toward a future in ultramarathons like South Africa’s Two Oceans (56km) and Comrades Marathon (88km). At 35, he’s redefining what it means to push limits, balancing ambition with resilience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For more than two decades, composer and educator Byron Au Yong has created music that bridges performance, ritual and activism. His highly collaborative works have been presented by such varied institutions as the Seattle Symphony, BAM, the Smithsonian, the American Conservatory Theater and Nashville Opera. Among his many large-scale projects is his long partnership with writer and rapper Aaron Jafferis, with whom he created the “liberation trilogy”: “Stuck Elevator,” “The Ones” and “Activist Songbook.”Byron is also Associate Professor and Director of Arts Leadership at Seattle University, where he's reimagining arts education as a space of equity, imagination and community. His teaching encourages artists to consider leading beyond or outside institutions and to learn from one another as collaborators in liberation. His many honors include a Creative Capital Award, a Doris Duke Building Demand for the Arts Grant and a Sundance Institute/Time Warner Foundation Fellowship.In this interview, Byron reflects on how his art and teaching are both rooted in listening, whether it's listening through the feet to the language of trees to compose his newest work or listening deeply to students and collaborators to imagine new, more equitable forms of leadership.https://byronauyong.com/Hosted by Ausha.

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Zoo Adventure: The Great Red Panda Escape Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2025-11-25-08-38-20-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 北京动物园的秋天，阳光明媚，红色的枫树叶随风飘落，地上铺满金黄的银杏叶。En: In the autumn at the Beijing Zoo, the sun shines brightly, red maple leaves fall with the wind, and the ground is covered with golden ginkgo leaves.Zh: 游客们兴致盎然，拿着手机拍照，享受着凉爽的秋风。En: Visitors are full of enthusiasm, taking photos with their phones and enjoying the cool autumn breeze.Zh: 就在这一天，丽华心急如焚，因为她负责的红熊猫不见了。En: On this very day, Li Hua is anxious because the red panda she is in charge of has disappeared.Zh: 丽华是动物园的饲养员，平常总是细心照顾动物，但今天早上，她一转身，红熊猫竟然消失了。En: Li Hua is a zookeeper who usually takes care of the animals attentively, but this morning, when she turned around, the red panda had vanished.Zh: 正好，她的堂弟明来参观动物园。En: Coincidentally, her cousin Ming came to visit the zoo.Zh: 他是个技术高手，又特别喜欢看侦探小说。En: He's a tech whiz and is particularly fond of detective novels.Zh: 还有一个是游客勇，他对中国文化特别感兴趣，趁着假期来动物园游玩。En: Another person is a tourist named Yong, who is especially interested in Chinese culture and is taking advantage of his vacation to visit the zoo.Zh: 当丽华把红熊猫丢失的事情告诉他们时，明兴奋地拍拍胸口说：“没问题，让我来帮忙。”En: When Li Hua told them about the missing red panda, Ming excitedly patted his chest and said, "No problem, let me help."Zh: 而勇也干劲十足地表示：“我可以四处找找。”En: Meanwhile, Yong also expressed with enthusiasm, "I can look around."Zh: 他们三人开始在动物园里寻找失踪的红熊猫。En: The three of them started searching for the missing red panda in the zoo.Zh: 丽华有点儿着急，因为她不记得最后一次看到红熊猫是在什么地方。En: Li Hua was a bit anxious because she couldn't remember where she last saw the red panda.Zh: 明拿出了手机，试图用卫星地图分析，但是很快发现，这里和小说中的侦探案子完全不同，找起动物来似乎没那么简单。En: Ming took out his phone and tried to analyze the area using a satellite map, but soon realized that this was completely different from detective cases in novels; searching for an animal seemed not so easy.Zh: 勇一路走一路看，看到每个角落都不放过。En: As Yong walked, he looked around, not missing a single corner.Zh: 他对每个动物都有问不完的问题，但此刻他只想找到迷路的红熊猫帮助丽华。En: He had endless questions about each animal, but at this moment, all he wanted was to find the lost red panda to help Li Hua.Zh: 不知不觉，他们走到了一个小树林。En: Unknowingly, they walked into a small grove.Zh: 突然，勇指着一棵树大喊：“看，那是红熊猫吗？”En: Suddenly, Yong pointed at a tree and shouted, "Look, is that the red panda?"Zh: 他们抬头一看，果然，是那只逃跑的小家伙，正懒洋洋地趴在树枝上。En: They looked up, and sure enough, it was the little fugitive, lazily lying on the branch.Zh: “真不该让它自己待着。”丽华自责道。En: "I really shouldn't have let it stay alone," Li Hua said, blaming herself.Zh: 他们想了个办法，把从其他地方拿来的竹子作为诱饵，慢慢诱导红熊猫下树。En: They came up with a plan and used bamboo from elsewhere as bait to slowly lure the red panda down from the tree.Zh: 经过一番努力，红熊猫终于回到了丽华的手中。En: After some effort, the red panda finally returned to Li Hua's hands.Zh: 丽华感激地看着明和勇：“谢谢你们，没有你们我都不知道怎么办好。”En: Li Hua looked gratefully at Ming and Yong and said, "Thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have known what to do."Zh: 在重回笼舍的路上，丽华意识到，做好工作的同时，信任朋友也很重要。En: On the way back to the enclosure, Li Hua realized that while doing a good job is important, trusting friends is too.Zh: 明明白了，现实和书中的推理过程并不一样；而勇则更加欣赏动物园饲养员们的耐心和细心。En: Ming understood that reality and the reasoning process in books are not the same; while Yong further appreciated the patience and attention of the zookeepers.Zh: 最终，红熊猫安全回到它的家，没有人发现它曾经短暂的“冒险”。En: In the end, the red panda returned safely to its home without anyone noticing its brief "adventure."Zh: 他们笑着走出了树林，享受着秋日的北京动物园和相聚的时光。En: They walked out of the grove with smiles, enjoying the autumn day at the Beijing Zoo and the time spent together.

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Unisearch Expert Opinion Services, we explore how forensic and cognitive psychology is being applied in the justice system, and how – together with facial recognition technology – such developments may have implications for legal proceedings. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Professor Richard Kemp, PhD, and Unisearch Expert Opinion Service business development manager Christopher Aaron Yong about Professor Kemp's research fields, why experts like him are in greater demand, the pertinence and necessity of such services in ensuring access to justice, the limitations of such scientific fields, and addressing gaps in legal proceedings. Professor Kemp and Yong also delve into the types of proceedings that such services can be applied to, the place for facial recognition technology in such conversations, risks to be navigated, implications for legal practitioners on the ground, case studies and lessons from those proceedings, and also explore how to assess the reliability of one's memory.

You've heard it all: “The truth about carbs,” “The truth about hormones,” “The truth about fasting.” But here's the real truth—context matters, and no single “truth” out there applies to every woman, every body, or every season of life.In this episode, I break down why most health advice is only a sliver of the full picture—and why lasting change doesn't come from copying and pasting what worked for someone else. Instead, you'll learn how to approach your health like a scientist: with curiosity, patience, and small, consistent actions that actually get down into your cells. You're not broken. You're just stuck in the wrong story.Here's what we cover:Why most “truths” about health are missing contextThe real reason your results aren't changingHow long it actually takes to see change at the cellular levelThe drip-drip-drip method vs. the bucket approach to health5 evidence-based habits to start today: walk, track, sleep, plan, eat proteinWhat your biology needs (and what it doesn't)There's no magic protocol. Just consistent inputs over time. Start anywhere.

In the long run, countries in Northeast Asia will have to see the need for collective defense. Otherwise, you won't be able to stop rivalry between powers like the U.S. and China. It sounds utopian now, but so did the idea of French and German soldiers serving under the same command a century ago.                                                                                                                                        – Y.S. Lee, NBN Interview (2025) Sustainable Peace in Northeast Asia (Anthem Press, 2023) examines the enduring political and military tensions in one of the world's most dynamic yet unstable regions, from China and the Korean Peninsula to Japan, Mongolia, and Russia's Far East. Despite its economic vitality, Northeast Asia remains fraught with persistent risks of conflict including North Korea's nuclear program, and the unresolved disputes over territory, history, and power imbalances fueled in part by China's rise. Y.S. Lee traces the political, historical, military, and economic forces behind these tensions and their global implications. Offering a comparative, country-by-country analysis, he also explores the influence of external powers such as the United States and Russia. The book assesses the prospects and consequences of Korean reunification and provides a fresh look at Mongolia's often-overlooked role in regional stability, suggesting how imagination and diplomacy together might begin to rebuild trust across the region. In this NBN interview, Professor Lee discusses how history, ideology, and institutional design intersect across the region – from the entanglement of North Korea's Juche ideology with its nuclear ambitions to Japan's struggle for reconciliation, and South Korea's evolving identity as a middle power. He argues that sustainable peace requires economic, political, and even eventual military cooperation akin to Europe's postwar transformation, which was once unthinkable, but ultimately necessary. Yong-Shik Lee is Director of the Law and Development Institute and a leading scholar of international economic law and institutional reform. His previous works include Law and Development: Theory and Practice (2011; 2nd ed. 2021), Reclaiming Development in the World Trading System (Cambridge University Press, 2nd ed. 2016), and Safeguard Measures in World Trade: The Legal Analysis (Edward Elgar, 3rd ed. 2014). His research bridges economic theory and policy design to advance inclusive development and peace. Learn more about your ad choices.

Lee, NBN Interview (2025) Sustainable Peace in Northeast Asia (Anthem Press, 2023) examines the enduring political and military tensions in one of the world's most dynamic yet unstable regions, from China and the Korean Peninsula to Japan, Mongolia, and Russia's Far East. Despite its economic vitality, Northeast Asia remains fraught with persistent risks of conflict including North Korea's nuclear program, and the unresolved disputes over territory, history, and power imbalances fueled in part by China's rise. Y.S. Lee traces the political, historical, military, and economic forces behind these tensions and their global implications. Offering a comparative, country-by-country analysis, he also explores the influence of external powers such as the United States and Russia. The book assesses the prospects and consequences of Korean reunification and provides a fresh look at Mongolia's often-overlooked role in regional stability, suggesting how imagination and diplomacy together might begin to rebuild trust across the region. In this NBN interview, Professor Lee discusses how history, ideology, and institutional design intersect across the region – from the entanglement of North Korea's Juche ideology with its nuclear ambitions to Japan's struggle for reconciliation, and South Korea's evolving identity as a middle power. He argues that sustainable peace requires economic, political, and even eventual military cooperation akin to Europe's postwar transformation, which was once unthinkable, but ultimately necessary. Yong-Shik Lee is Director of the Law and Development Institute and a leading scholar of international economic law and institutional reform. His previous works include Law and Development: Theory and Practice (2011; 2nd ed. 2021), Reclaiming Development in the World Trading System (Cambridge University Press, 2nd ed. 2016), and Safeguard Measures in World Trade: The Legal Analysis (Edward Elgar, 3rd ed. 2014).

With the league set to split into two for the final straight, reigning Champions Ulsan HD have split with their summer appointment Shin Tae-yong after on-field results and alleged off-field disharmony.   We take a look at what has been said and what has led to this drastic turn in fortune that sees the reigning Champions, Club World Cup competitors and ACLE participants scrambling for their top flight status and, more importantly, can they avoid it.   Our attention then turns to across the top division looking at the key races still to run and our thoughts on sides we haven't checked in on for a while.   All this and more, on The K League United Podcast.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini is a lifestyle mentor, accomplished options trader, and CEO of Lush Enterprises LLC. Rising from humble roots as an orphan, Sun Yong became a millionaire by combining relentless discipline with smart trading—transforming her husband's $164,000 account into $604,000 in under a year. She now inspires and teaches everyday people how to build skills for real, leveraged wealth through options, mindset, and self-belief. On this episode we talk about: The pivot from medical assistant to self-taught options trader after retirement How Sun Yong learned and practiced trading for over a year before risking any real money The power of discipline, schedule, and goal-setting for consistent financial growth Handling risk and loss with a positive mindset (including her own $50,000 loss—and six-fold gain) Why the barrier to entry is not knowledge, but the willingness to put in consistent work Top 3 Takeaways True financial change demands building new skills, setting daily routines, and investing in personal education. Consistent, disciplined trading with defined weekly/monthly goals creates sustainable results—not lottery wins. Mindset matters as much as strategy; treat money as a tool, not an end, to avoid unhealthy cycles and emotional traps. Notable Quotes “Most people take the freedom of retirement and avoid the work. I chose to create freedom by building new skills.” “If I gave up after losing $50,000, I wouldn't be where I am today.” “Money, used as a tool for opportunity, completely changes your life's trajectory.” Connect with Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini: https://www.instagram.com/author_sun_yong/ ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Today's poem is Notes on Beachgrass by Yong-Yu Huang. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Today's poem offers us images we often find in poetry: the ocean, the moon, dreams, a mother, a wound. But it offers us these elements in such a profoundly original and moving way. I couldn't read this poem just once—I had to read it several times, picking up new treasures with each reading, like walking along the same stretch of beach at different times of day and finding new shells.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

In this conversation with Aizaiah Young, we dove deep into what it means to live a contemplative life in our hyperaccelerated culture. Aizaiah, who works at the Collegeville Institute and draws from thinkers like Raimon Panikkar and Howard Thurman, made a compelling case that contemplation isn't passive navel-gazing—it's about bringing your full self to every moment, whether you're protesting injustice or wiping your kid's bottom. We talked about how the monastery's vow of stability offers a radical alternative to our culture's obsession with speed and productivity, how Internal Family Systems can help us dialogue with different parts of ourselves instead of just trying to fix what's "broken," and why swimming upstream with elegance might be the key to sustainable social action. Tim and I both confessed how drawn we are to this approach, even as we wrestle with the tension between needing to combat misinformation online and recognizing that real transformation happens in those slower, face-to-face conversations where we can actually see each other's humanity.

I'm thrilled to share this deeply moving conversation with Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini, whose story is nothing short of extraordinary. Sun Yong's journey from a disabled orphan in South Korea to a successful options trader and entrepreneur in America is a testament to the power of resilience, taking action despite fear, and never giving up on your dreams. In this episode, Sun Yong opens up about her early childhood in Korean orphanages, learning to walk at age six, being adopted by an American family, and working her dream job as a medical assistant for 33 years. But here's where her story takes an incredible turn - at age 54, she made the bold decision to retire early with only $10 in her checking account and teach herself options trading as a "hobby." What happened next will inspire you: Sun Yong developed her own trading system and turned that hobby into a six-figure income in her first year. She shares the practical details of her journey, from using virtual money to practice, to taking a home equity loan to fund her real trading account, to eventually turning her husband's $164,000 retirement fund into over $600,000 in just 11 months. This conversation is packed with wisdom about taking calculated risks, the importance of financial education, and how money can be a tool for creating the life you truly want. Sun Yong's earnestness and integrity shine through every moment of our discussion.   Key Topics: 1. How childhood trauma shaped her money mindset and resourcefulness 2. Leaving her "dream job" after 33 years to pursue financial independence 3. Learning options trading at age 54 with zero tech experience 4. Using virtual money to master trading before risking real capital 5. Turning $164K retirement funds into $600K in 11 months 6. Managing multiple revenue streams in minutes per day 7. Taking action despite fear and imperfect timing 8.

In the podcast episode of "Get Your Fill," host Christine McCarron chats with Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini, a self-made millionaire who rose from orphanhood to become a CEO, author, life coach, and mentor. The conversation kicks off with a lively discussion on authenticity, emphasizing the importance of showing up as your true self despite insecurities about appearance or voice. Sun Yong shares how her mentor urged her to step out of her comfort zone and appear on camera, likening hiding one's talents to keeping a store door shut. They bond over breaking societal rules for fun, like wearing sunglasses upside down, and celebrate the liberation that comes with age, urging listeners to prioritize sharing their message over vanity and to embrace life's playful side.

Smell loss after viral infections can be difficult to manage. Dr. Yong uses various techniques to target smell recovery which is a complex process involving neurons in the nose and brain. Smell is intricately linked in both emotional and functional terms with quality of life. Learn more about smell dysfunction and treatment.

What if everything we think we know about trauma and healing is backwards? Today I'm talking with Aizaiah Young about his incredible new book "Trauma and Renewal" and honestly, this conversation blew me away. Isaiah survived a near-death motorcycle accident right after passing his PhD comprehensive exams (talk about terrible timing), and during a 16-hour surgery, he had this profound mystical encounter with Jesus that completely reshaped how he thinks about transformation. But here's the thing - this isn't some individualistic "I found healing and so can you" story. Instead, Aizaiah argues that real healing is relational, communal, and intercultural, and he's doing something really brave by including his parents' voices throughout the book as they process this traumatic journey together. We dive deep into contemplative tradition, Internal Family Systems therapy, the vision he had of sitting in silence by a river with Jesus (who apparently has a great sense of humor), and how the whole Western approach to selfhood might be fundamentally missing the point. Isaiah's working at the Collegeville Institute now with the Benedictines, and if you want to meet him in person, he'll be hanging out with us at Theology Beer Camp this October in St. Paul. This is one of those conversations that stays with you. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Aizaiah G. Yong is an ordained pentecostal Christian minister and practical theologian who has served in religious and higher education leadership for over a decade devoting his energy to healing and advocacy work that centers QTBIPOC communities. His recent book, Multiracial Cosmotheadrism: a Practical Theology of Multiracial Experiences, received the internationally acclaimed 2022 Raimon Panikkar Prize.

Titles, accolades, and financial milestones often measure success. But for Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini, CEO of Lush Enterprises, LLC, success is about transformation - financial, emotional, and generational. Mary Sullivan, co-founder of Sweet but Fearless talks with Sun Yong about how she's built a career helping others break free from survival mode and step into true financial independence. Even in her dream job, with the title and passion she'd worked hard to earn, her paycheck fell short of the life she envisioned. That eye-opening moment led her to redefine success, not just loving her work, but building real financial impact through strategy and growth. Her quest for freedom sparked a bold pivot into options trading, where education, consistent practice, and calculated risks became the foundation of her success. Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini is the CEO and founder of Lush Enterprises, LLC. She is also an author and educator focused on financial success, particularly options trading.  She also authored "Invest In Yourself" and co-authored "Opposite/Opposites".  Sweet but Fearless does not provide financial advice; listeners should always do their own research before making investment decisions.

Doc director Arthur Jones (Feels Good Man, Antisocial Network) is a '90s indie rock guy, just like George, so they tackle these two parallel docs. Our first in-person episode in a few years (most recent was Rodney Ascher in 2021), Arthur and Giorgio Angelini were in-person in March 2020 to discuss Feels Good Man.PAVEMENTS (Alex Ross Perry, 2024) is a hybrid docufiction about the UR-slacker band from Stockton that took the indie world by storm. Perry combines standard music doc tropes with a meta-biopic, meta-musical theater show, and meta-faux-museum exhibit, to meta-success. George and Arthur go deep on living through the irony-poisoned '90s, Malkmus as Fauntleroy, Stockton as the birthplace of Universal Basic Income in America, and Don DeLillo's White Noise.KIM'S VIDEO (David Redmon, Ashley Sabin, 2023) Korean immigrant Yong-man Kim starts a chain of video stores in New York, including a lot of bootlegs and underground film and music. The times catch up as they inevitably do with media retail, and the stores all close. Who will house this one-of-a-kind collection of VHS and DVDs? How do they end up in Salemi, Sicily, and what will be their fate? Director Redmon takes an investigative approach that is surprisingly gonzo and, like the best docs, does not end up where you think it will.Both docs are currently available to stream on MUBI.Arthur Jones is best known for making documentary films but enjoys working across a variety of disciplines.He directed the award-winning documentary film Feels Good Man (2020) and co-directed The Antisocial Network, Netflix (2024). Both of these movies are deeply researched true stories that explore how the internet has made us all a little crazier. Each is visually inventive and filled with unique motion graphics.In addition to working as a director, he freelances as a graphic designer, illustrator, editor and animator. He completed design and motion work for the upcoming doc features Go Deep (Amazon Prime, HyperObject Industries) and Have You Seen Me Lately (HBO Documentary, Ringer Films) and edited Joe Mande's comedy special CHILL (Hulu).Arthur has guest lectured at colleges and universities on a variety of subjects, including the history of conspiracy theories, internet memetics, online extremism and non-fiction filmmaking.

As a huge fan of the original Squid Game, cinematographer Kim Ji-yong jumped at the opportunity to shape the visual language for the show's second and third seasons. Ji-yong has masterfully evolved the show's aesthetic, continuing to play with jarring camera perspectives. He uses disorienting low angles looking up and god-like high angles looking down to immerse the viewer in the drama. For him, color and light are the key to unlocking the show's central theme: the tension between childlike innocence and deadly menace. Squid Game Season 2 follows the first season's winner, Seong Gi-hun, as he seeks revenge and tries to uncover the mystery behind the games. In the first episode, Gi-hun and his friends chase a recruiter through a subway and a park, a pursuit that ends in a tense game of Russian roulette. For this pivotal scene, Ji-yong wanted a look that was both realistic and expressionistic. He bathed the game in the glow of a red neon light from a nearby window, establishing a color motif that would echo throughout the season. This powerful visual cue returns in other key episodes, most notably in a harrowing new voting scene where the players must once again decide their own fate. “When our main actor is facing a moment of choice, a moment of making a decision, I wanted to bring that red and blue light every time they faced that situation, just like earlier in the Russian roulette game,” Ji-yong explains. The sheer scale of the sets presented unique lighting challenges, particularly the massive, white-walled dorm room filled with hundreds of extras. "I tried to cut off the spill to the white walls as much as I could," Ji-yong says. "We also had stacks of beds so I could use some shadowy areas, so we had a little variety on the set." All the room's illumination came from a lighting grid above, making it feel as oppressive and controlled as the games themselves, which also served the actors. "I want them to feel as if they're actually playing this game," he notes. To capture the chaos, Ji-yong relied on an intimate two-camera setup. One camera stayed close, capturing the raw emotion on the characters' faces, while the other—often handheld—followed the action from the perspective of a frantic player. Though each episode was meticulously storyboarded and shot over 12 to 15 days, he finalized camera positions after blocking each scene, trusting his intuition to find the most impactful angles. Ji-yong embraced the vibrant, candy-colored sets, finding creative energy in the contrast between their playful hues and the brutal violence of the games. He worked closely with the production designer, running camera tests to find the perfect shade of pink that would pop on screen. While not typically a fan of modern LED RGB lights, he found them essential for this project. The results are unforgettable, especially in the strobing, kaleidoscopic lighting of the "Mingle Game" featuring a carousel. "I have never used this much color in my career,” he laughs.
