Curious Ahjuma's Podcast
by Shinhong ByunWelcome to The Curious Ahjuma podcast. I’m your host Shinhong. I’m a 40-something Ahjuma, which is the Korean word for older Korean lady. But this podcast isn’t about getting old. It’s about embracing curiosity. I’m curious about a lot of things but for most of my life, I’ve shooed my curiosity away like it was frivolous. What I’m realizing is that that’s a big mistake. So I’m finally letting myself be curious. Especially about people. I’m curious about your story of resilience, empowerment, suffering, triumph. How did you get there and why? Join me as I interview different people to hear their unique stories and let’s build a community of curious minds.

Episode 9: Andy Lowe and His Pioneering Spirit in Asian American Theatre
54m · PublishedWhen Andy started his theatre career in San Diego in the mid 90s, there were little to no roles for Asian Americans in the theatre space. So just like a true pioneer, he refused to accept the closed doors and created his own. Today he has paved the way for so many Asian American actors in the US and now he is the Director of Production and Casting at East West Players in Los Angeles. I'm grateful for people like Andy who have so much grit and vision.
Episode 8: Remembering Mr. Chon, his accordion, and disco balls

Episode 6: Alex and Carrie talk about childhood cancer
41m · PublishedOne of the scariest memories I have as a mother was when my own daughter had an unexplained illness. The uncertainty, the fear of losing your child, and the unbearable moments of seeing your child suffer feels like someone placed your heart on an open chopping board.

Episode 5: Jared Barbick the Artist, the Teacher, the Activist
55m · PublishedI would love for Jared Barbick to toot his own horn more because he is truly inspirational and just a genuinely good, thoughtful human being. But he is too humble for that.

Episode 3: Dear Survivor
33m · PublishedThis episode is just one story of the many that I feel exist inside me. But it is the one that beat me down to the floor, the one that left the imprint of trauma in my DNA.
I tell it because this is part of my healing journey and because I am using my power and my voice to transform a negative event into something positive. This is how I take back what was taken and this is perhaps the justice I had always sought. I hope that you Dear Survivor find your justice and healing too.
