Description:

“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – Tim Cahill

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” – Cesare Pavese

I am always amazed by how candid people can be–and how easy candidness becomes once you realize that living your truth is the only way.

This week, we interviewed Kyoung Park, a gay Korean playwright who was raised in Chile and has spent years trying to create art that not only tells his truth but also convinces the US government that he is worthy of a visa. Ito and I met Kyoung in grad school, where he was already hard at work negotiating the internal and external political struggles that have colored his life as an artist, a son, a citizen, a lover, a person.

Kyoung is not only incredibly talented, but also beautifully forthright. This week’s episode will grant you insight into a journey that involves more than physical hunger–although being a starving artist certainly means that physical hunger is present too.

You can learn more about Kyoung and sign up for his newsletter at kyounghpark.com and support his theatre company, Pacific Beat Collective, by liking their Facebook page!

And, as always, you can make sure you never miss a podcast by subscribing to us on iTunes or Stitcher Radio! & you can find me at inmyskinnygenes.com and Ito at theoverachievingliar.com.)

Stay hungry & journey on,
