Ken takes ten minutes to catch his valued listeners up on what's been happening in his world and what's coming up in the podcast. He's been busy putting together a five-part series on the Civil Rights Tour. It's intended to counter the current attack on racial history in America, where CRT has been demonized and talk about race has been silenced in schools, libraries, and government agencies. Ken's working titles are "Truth Quest" or maybe "Wade in the Water."

Happy New Year! Ken and Carla reflect on the year gone by. Last December, in their Christmas edition, they finished episode 15 - this is episode 64. They have developed a strong bond, coming together nearly every week to talk about how events have impacted them. This week, they consider how their Beach Talks have shaped them. Each identifies the TOP FIVE events, books, films or happenings that shaped our year. Grandma Carla shares her greatest moment from just this week. See Ken's comprehensive list in the SHOW NOTES.

Ken welcomes you to the podcast. It replaces the original welcome - so much has changed in over eighteen months and one-hundred-fifty episodes. He shares the saga of the podcast's beginnings just as Covid isolated us in our homes, bringing "normal life" to a sudden halt. It's been a steep learning curve for Ken, addressing issues of race, politics, and religion. Ken's many guests have changed him - his listeners, too. Betsey Newenhuyse (formerly known as Carla) joined him a year ago for Beach Talks. The Two Kens feature the host and creator of Asian America - The Ken Fong Podcast. See if you find yourself in Ken's story.
