I was over the moon, if you'll pardon the pun, to spend an hour talking to one of my childhood heroes, Mr. George Takei. We talked about everything from his time on Star Trek to LGBTQ issues, Korea-Japan relations, and his feud with William Shatner. I even got him to pose with an R2D2 PEZ dispenser as he has done some voice work as Lok Durd on the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series.And if that wasn't enough, he also recorded some congratulatory messages for the station and a special congratulatory message to an acquaintance of mine who was retiring.

A story about my father, Walter Russell Foreman, AKA Big Wally, and the time that he inadvertently ordered a Korean iced dessert for lunch during his visit to Korea in 1998. This clip aired on Monday June 15, 2015 on an English program entitled "Morning Special" on EBS 104.5 FM in Seoul. The name of the segment is "What's Cool" and host Steve Hatherly and I were talking about cool Korean desserts.
