AAP's BIG BIG News, Traveling and Recording on Location

In Episode 9, Lee Uehara and Andrew Wang share some HUGE news about AAP.
Then, they talk about recording on location after traveling during the summer. Andy goes to Taipei and Tokyo. Lee goes to...Lexington, Kentucky to give an AAP/WOC talk, "Avoiding Newbie Mistakes" for the Lexington Podcasters group run by Jennifer Longworth of Bourbon Barrel Podcasting.

Then, Andy and Lee move on and talk about the terms "Asian" versus "Asian American." Which do you use? Does either bother you? Let us know and reach out at @aapodcasters. 

Food Talk:
Andy eats fried grasshoppers - or is it caramelized duck tongue? He told friends that if they nominated his personal show for a business podcast award, he would eat one of those foods. Other food mentions: cho dofu, dragonfruit, haw flakes, shirataki noodle-ramen (low carb), brisket BBQ, Tokyo ramen, tonkatsu and kaitenzushi (conveyor belt sushi).

Gear Talk/Recording On Location:
Andy records from his Tokyo lobby and misses his bus to the airport! But, before then, Andy talks about planning ahead when taking care of your podcast and what he does. 

Lee goes on the hunt for a portable P.A. system to use for the talk. She ends up at a Guitar Center and buys a Blackstar Super Fly amp. After successfully using it, Lee has to figure out how to pack it in her luggage. Her gear tip for traveling is to leave room in your suitcase for new gear!
