I appeared on the latest episode of The Criterioncast<\/a><\/em>, the podcast dedicated to discussing the classic and contemporary films issued on video by The Criterion Collection, to talk about Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles<\/em><\/a>. When the show’s host Ryan Gallagher offered me the chance to return to the show \u2014 I last went on for Abbas Kiarostami’s Taste of Cherry<\/em> \u2014 I jumped at the scheduled discussion of this particular movie. A picture so intimately tied up with the mechanics of food preparation would feel perfectly to think about at Thanksgiving time.<\/p>\n

But also, I’d already watched Jeanne Dielman<\/em> four times since Criterion issued it in two or three years ago and had been jonesing to pop it in for a fifth. I’ve watched it more frequently in these recent years than anything but maybe Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Syndromes and a Century<\/em>. (You can read my Humanists columns on the former here<\/a>, and the latter here<\/a>.) Not everybody feels this way about Jeanne Dielman<\/em>, apparently, and you’ll get a taste of that in the episode. (You’ll also get a little bit of previously unspoken information about my next project<\/a>!)<\/p>\n

About a month ago, I made my third appearance on G.I.O. Get It On<\/em><\/a>, the podcast of unofficial (but highly dedicated) Loveline<\/em> archivist Giovanni Giorgio. As two guys in their late-mid-twenties who came up in western Washington state cultivating insatiable desires for the teachings of the radio show’s 1995-2005 “golden age” pairing of Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew, we have a lot to talk about. In this latest conversation<\/a>, I bring my Podthinking<\/a> skills to the table and Giovanni brings his voracious podcast-listening skills to the table, and we try to nail down just what makes the best podcasts the best.<\/p>\n

Shortly after I moved to L.A., I received an invitation to come on Radio Korea’s only English-language talk show, K-Town Tonight<\/em><\/a>. The intersection of radio, Korea, and Los Angeles? I couldn’t say no<\/a>. Hosts Mike and Elli ask me about my interest in Korean culture, how I decided to move to Koreatown, and whether I think that one island is called Dokdo or Takeshima. I also say a few words in Korean, which, on a 50,000-watt station, surely has to count for something in my language-learning progress.<\/p>\n

So here’s the list of all my guest appearances on other podcasts, publications, radio shows, and television shows to date:<\/p>\n
