This was our very first Fighting 44s podcast when we were in Portland last month, and the topic was “Anti-Racist Education.” Somehow we forgot to post it! It’s approximately 30 minutes in length, 13.6 megs, recorded on 8/22/08, and it features nskripchun and Xian, two seasoned professionals in the education system, discussing education and culture as it relates to Asian Americans. Mrs. skrips, who is also a teacher, has a short part too (to set skrips straight!). It’s a good discussion by three expert teachers with experience in the education field. They talk about tests, books, and racial and ethnic stereotypes as they relate to American students. I thought it was interesting because it gave me the opportunity to hear from three people who are on the ground dealing with the system and trying to impart knowledge to young America.
Keep in mind that this was the very first podcast that I’ve ever hosted, and being the content-focused non-techies that we are, we were still learning to use the mics. So the quality wasn’t quite at the same level as the other podcasts, but it’s a good discussion.

“WOW THE PATTERN ON THIS TABLE IS SO INCREDIBLY INTERESTING”
You should have taken more pictures of Xian. He’s much better looking. ;)

The pictures of Xian for this podcast came out funny. Some were out of focus, and some were really orange from the light in my kitchen. I gotta get some professional spotlights for our next outing.
