We’re Back: Thank You For Being a Friend!

Hey.

It’s been a while.

I’ve been here in Seoul. Trying to figure things out. So that’s what this is…

The one thing I know is that this podcast is one of the best things I have ever done and I don’t want to lose that. So regardless of what is happening to me, I’m not going to let it just die.

Yes, it has been over a year. But sometimes time passes. Let’s pretend we are old friends who haven’t seen each other in a while but can pick up right where we left off. I believe we can.

My show isn’t, after all, about me (even though this particular shortie episode TOTALLY is). It’s about the guests. And I have some really exceptional ones lined up for this go around. I’ve got the eps already waiting in the wings.

And…this is a call to all my listeners/readers- if you or anyone you know might want to be on Archivist’s Alley and might qualify…Please email me at archivistsalley@gmail.com.

I want to hear from you.

LET’S DO THIS.

S4.1: Ariel and Archivist’s Alley Moved to Korea: Update and Request

Hey there!

It’s me, Ariel.

I finally got myself together enough to record an episode. And I’m glad I did. I swore that I wouldn’t leave this behind when I moved to Korea and I’m very much not intending to.

The world has clearly been changing drastically since I left the US and I think this show HAS to reflect that.

I want to invite anyone who wants to talk about all the things that we normally talk about- preservation, mental health, media materials, white supremacy, class consciousness, archives, digitization, technology, queerness, blackness, transphobia, contract work and unions- to feel free to contact me at archivistsalley@gmail.com or via Twitter @archivistsalley and maybe we can do an episode together.

Community- it’s what’s feeds the heart, soul & mind. Let’s keep it healthy while we keep ourselves healthy, yeah?

So here’s my update. Gimme a shout, y’all.
