Shownotes

This APAHM, we wanted to highlight some of our fellow Asian American podcasts from the Potluck Podcast Collective, so we're dropping in an episode from our sister show, Asian Americana, a podcast about slices of distinctly Asian American culture and history hosted by veteran audio producer and journalist, Quincy Surasmith. Please enjoy, and we'll be back with our mid-month check-in for May later this week!

Timothy Singratsomboune had a complicated relationship to country music. How did his own experiences bring him away from and eventually back to the genre? And how does country music connect Tim to both Lao culture and the Lao communities he grew up around?

In this episode, we explore the connections between Asian Americans, country music, and rural life.

You can find more about Timothy on his website, singhasonh.com.

Idle Hours ft. BJ Cole - The Road

Nathan Ramos-Park - Gay Asian Country Love Song

Tai Orathai - วันที่บ่มีอ้าย (Wan Thii Bo Mii Ai)
