Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know that the banana that most of us eat today (the Cavendish)wasn't called "a banana" until the 1950s? There was another kind of banana (the Gros Michel) that people called "the banana" but a disease wiped them almost entirely out so we needed to settle and eat this far lesser banana instead.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share tons of music...and I think I'm funny??? You can be the judge. I can hold a conversation in Chinese and teach some Taiwanese. I know a lot about science and can explain it to you if you're interested. I love hearing about other languages, new music, and the politics of other countries.
