SHOW NOTES
Hello from Hong Kong and welcome to episode 10, in this episode we meet Jodie of Simple Kitchen. SImple Kitchen is a small business that provides food to those in need. Jodie’s ‘Kitchen’ delivers food parcels free of charge to the elderly so as to help Hong Kong’s old people not make an unfair and difficlut choice between spending money on food or their rent.
We discuss some of the issues Jodie through Simple Kitchen deals with when helping the aged, we touch on some of the government assitance available, Jodie’s motivations and her future plans.

(2) Mr Lau - 廣東話 Version
Hello From Hong Kong
10/28/19 • 56 min
Show Notes
今集我和Stella再次來到劉伯的小天地分享他的人生故事和經歷,並感謝Stella幫忙翻譯。
自從有一次我和Stella 行山時在一個荒廢的廁所/休憩室遇到劉伯後, 我的好奇心已經驅使我想進一步了解劉伯如何建造自己的樹屋和小天地。
起初我想跟劉伯談談有關他對某些香港歷史的看法, 但這些話題會留待下一次再跟劉伯詳談。因為劉伯當天很雀躍地先跟我們分享關於他和“借回來”的小天地的關係和歷史。 之後還展示了一些他所收藏的硬幣和分享其背後意義。
如果大家有興趣知道有關劉伯的背景和經歷可以重溫第一回的訪問。

Part 1 with Mr Lau
(2) Mr Lau - Eng/Canto Version
Hello From Hong Kong
10/28/19 • 109 min
Show Notes
In this episode Mr Lau returns. As does Stella, she was again kind enough to translate. The three of us sit down together to share more stories from our aged guest.
We discuss the nature of Mr Lau’s self-created space in the forest. I personally was curious and wanted to discuss further about the tree house Mr Lau and the abandoned toilet/rest room where Stella and myself first met him.
My original plan was to speak on a range of historical topics pertaining to Hong Kong. Those other questions will be asked in part 3. Mr Lau had a lot of say about the history pertaining to the borrowed spaces of his and then he shifts the conversation to his personal coin collection and shares his philosophy behind them.
Please check the episode listings for part 1 where we are introduced to Mr Lau.

Part 1 with Mr Lau
Alan McGill 1 - Author/Podcaster
Hello From Hong Kong
03/08/22 • 77 min
I’m on this episode I speak with author/podcaster Alan McGill based in the US. Alan wrote and narrated ‘A Cry in the Moon’s Night’ audio drama. It’s a fantasy story Alan has written and self-published along with producing the podcast version of the same story. The story was listed on Podbean’s Top 10 in Fiction Drama in 2021.
This episode by the way was recorded on New Year’s day for myself and in the ultimate hour of 2021 for Alan. I don’t usually release podcasts so long after they are recorded, but my schedule because of covid as been just one factor in its delay.
Together we talk about the story, its success, of course the inspiration for the story and sequel. But we also talk about some things that surround writing or producing a piece of fiction, so naturally we discuss at length the creative process, receiving and giving feedback. This is because I myself am writing and producing my own audio drama. The conversation ends knowing what is Alan’s next venture with writing. But in the Patreon bonus version we also talk more about editing audio and talk more about sharing criticism with other people’s work. That conversation runs for an extra 30 minutes.
If you’d like to get access to extended conversations and other extras, the Patreon is only an $1 a month and your support is kindly appreciated.
Alan is the second guest on the podcast not living in Hong Kong, but I won’t exclude a guest as I’m in Hong Kong and it still fits inside the theme of this podcast (Me saying ‘Hello’ from Hong Kong). We don’t mention anything about Hong Kong though as that’s not the focus.
