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!

In Episode 7, Andrew Wang and Lee Uehara recap the past little while. Since the last show, AAP member Joon Han of Awesome Guests shared his expertise on growing audiences and interview best practices in an AAP Impact Call. And, Lee attended a workshop about podcasters' ownership rights.
Andy and Lee also talk about trademarks and whether you need a guest release form. They also discuss why podcasters might need one and the different types of release forms.
That conversation led Andy and Lee to talk about the term, "Off the Record" and how it actually works. Then they discuss one way to determine whether a service business is a good one for you.

In Episode 6, Andy and Lee talk to Ric Meyers, an author, screenwriter, consultant, actor, and teacher who is best known for his contributions to the martial arts film industry. Rob Domingo of the New York Asian Film Festival (from AAPP episode 5) introduced us to today's guest. It's a great idea to ask your guest for suggestions and introductions to future guests for your show.
Why are we talking kung fu today? According to Ric, kung fu is self-improvement so we can apply lessons from kung fu to become better podcasters. "Learn everything you can, from everyone you can, and make it your own." We also chat about Asian action films and more.

In Episode 4 of the Asian American Podcasters Podcast, Jeremy Helton from Audioboom joins Lee as cohost as they wait for Andrew to find parking in downtown New York City.
With very little notice, AAP found out about the Coalition for Asian Pacific American's 40th annual festival to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month - that's May. So with poster board and clothespins, Jeremy and Theresa Yuan from en(gendered) podcast help Lee with trimming the vendor booth tent.
Jeremy brings up the question of the type of data Lee, Theresa and Andrew will uncover as they go about offering to teach folks how to listen to podcasts as well as start their own show.
