Lisa Phu’s Before Me is a podcast about a long overdue conversation between a mom and a daughter and a family’s history as it follows one woman’s life, from Cambodia to America, through war and violence, separation and loss, and endings and beginnings. KTOO will air Before Me in a special two-part series beginning next Tuesday, January 17.
Today on Juneau Afternoon, Lisa talks with Volunteer Host Andy Kline about how this podcast came to be, the process of getting to know her mother’s story, the various media coverage the podcast has gotten; and she will also highlight her Fireside chat tonight at Mendenhall Glacier.
Other conversations today include:
- The premiere of Underground Connection at Crystal Saloon this weekend
- Theater Alaska and their new production of Every Brilliant Thing
