Welcome to the final episode of Season 1. Episode 100!

I dedicate this episode to my Uncle Donald. He is the voice you hear when I open the podcast and his voice intermingles with my mothers when I close out. In this episode I share a poem, a letter, and the full audio of the last time we were altogether that I chopped up for the podcast. It is a moment to capture my love as I continue to move on in this world without him. Enjoy!

*Ian Lin's episodes were the VERY first I recorded on my podcast journey. Please excuse the rough audio*

Ian and I met our freshman year in college. He a science major and I an anthropology major we never crossed paths in a classroom. It was laughing on the quad. It was jamming on the dance floor. It was always asking the question, are you free for dinner? Even though we do not live on the same continent anymore we make it job to see each other when we are. We saw each other in Taiwan when I lived in China. I went to Carnival in London and crashed at his house. We met up in Chicago when his sister got married. This is my friend. He shares stories of his time teaching in Taiwan and talks about how he sees all of this identities. Enjoy!

His Bio:

African, Asian, Swazinese. Environmentalist, Nerd, Human. Avid pursuer of the world's whimsy and believer in the more interesting questions than the answers. 'Some days I believe in it all, our ability to find harmony. The others I feel like a petrel chasing a hurricane. And thats ok too'

I met Kelly over 3 years ago two days before I left to complete my Fulbright in South Africa. My high school guidance counselor Mrs. Gayman introduced us as Kelly was looking to interview people for her series unpacking the importance and significance of a liberal arts education. I said I was down and that led to me being on my very first podcast episode ever. That beautiful conversation led into into another conversation a year later where I was invited back to be on her PBS Special in New York City, which was another first.

When I started my podcast I created a running list of people I would love to talk to and Kelly was on that list. I sent her an email not expecting a response. Not everyday I come across best selling authors with PBS Specials. She said yes and it turned out to be a three part conversation about the intricacies of identities through the lens of childhood, college, and travel. Enjoy as Kelly sits in THE CHAIR.

Her Bio:

Kelly Corrigan has written 4 New York Times bestselling memoirs and is the host of the top 1% podcast Kelly Corrigan Wonders, with close to 17 million downloads to date, and Tell Me More on PBS, now in its 7th season. Her much-lauded TED talk lays bare the extraordinary bravery occasionally required in family life.
