Between 2011-2019, I was a podcast host for  New Books in East Asian Studies (NBEAS),  New Books in Science, Technology, and Society (NBSTS), and I did occasional guest interviews for some of the other New Books Network Channels. You can find them linked from the following list. I’ve been on a podcasting hiatus for a wee while, taking a break while I figure out what comes next, mentoring other podcast hosts, and giving talks about my media work.
