Rerun: #390 Bonnie Tsui (April 2020)

Published: March 31, 2021, 3:43 p.m.

Bonnie Tsui is a journalist and the author of Why We Swim.\u201cI am a self-motivated person. I really don\u2019t like being told what to do. I\u2019ve thought about this many times over the last 16 years that I\u2019ve been a full-time freelancer... even though I thought my dream was to always and forever be living in New York, working in publishing, working at a magazine, being an editor, writing. When I was an editor, I kind of hated it. I just didn\u2019t like being chained to a desk.\u201d\n\nThanks to\xa0Mailchimp for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\n@bonnietsui\nbonnietsui.com\n02:00 Why We Swim\xa0(Algonquin \u2022 2020)\n03:30 American Chinatown: A People's History of Five Neighborhoods\xa0(Tsui \u2022 Free Press \u2022 2009)\n10:30 The Deep\xa0(2012)\n28:00 "With His Absence, My Artist Father Taught Me the Art of Vanishing"\xa0(Catapult \u2022 Feb 2019)\n41:30 "After Fires, Napa and Sonoma Tourism Industry Is Getting Back on Its Feet"\xa0(New York Times \u2022 Oct 2017)\n44:30 "Child Care: What\u2005\u2014\u2005and Who\u2005\u2014\u2005It Takes to Raise a Family"\xa0(California Sunday \u2022 July 2019)\n49:00 "The Break: Female Big-Wave Surfers Prepare to Compete on Mavericks\u2019s 50-Foot Waves for the First Time"\xa0(California Sunday \u2022 Aug 2018)\n50:00 "Meet the Women Who Are Changing What it Means to be a Mom and a Professional Athlete"\xa0(Sports Illustrated \u2022 Dec 2019)\n53:30 "You Are Doing Something Important When You Aren\u2019t Doing Anything"\xa0(New York Times \u2022 June 2019)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
