Q&A With Your Queue: Michelle MiJung Kim

Q&A With Your Queue: Michelle MiJung Kim

We're back again to meet a podcast person! Michelle MiJung Kim is the host and producer of I Feel That Way Too. This is one of my absolute favorite podcasts ever. I reviewed it last week, so take a gander if you're interested in adding it to your queue this week. I love the episode "Can We Be Friends If We Disagree Politically?"

Review: I Feel That Way Too
What sharing a meal does is open a door to conversation. This leads to shared experience, and less loneliness. It leads to connection, hopefully empathy, and a better world.

If you already read the review, then let's continue on to our mini interview with Michelle on the podcasts that impacted her.

First things first, let's take a moment to appreciate this cover art. Michelle? The colors? The typeface? 10/10 for me. This isn't about me, though. Let's talk more about Michelle.

Michelle is a Korean American immigrant and queer woman. She's the author of The Wake Up, a speaker, and, of course, the host of I Feel That Way Too.

Q: What was the first podcast you listened to?

A: This American Life

From Keelin: I know this podcast needs no introduction, but I rarely listen to it. I usually listen if someone recommends an episode. If you, reader, have a favorite episode, please let me know!

I added the first episode above. I will absolutely be adding this to my queue for this upcoming Queuesday.

Q: What is your favorite escape-pod?

A: Normal Gossip

Keelin is going to take a bet now and say this one will pop up quite a bit in this series. Maybe at the one-year mark of Q&A I will analyze some stats.
