Konnichiwa and Sat Sri Akaal from 98.5 Virgin Radio Host, Andrew Uyeno and your host Kiran McKay! As we all know Andrew is kind of a big deal, so when without hesitation he agreed to join us on the show we were all very grateful for this opportunity. Join us as the laughs are plentiful and the talk is light and deep at times. Andrew shares with us his sharp wit and humor as well as his thoughtful side on issues that matter, such as racism and finding our voice. We explore what is was like growing up as a half Japanese - Caucasian, and how there were times when he didn’t feel Asian “enough” nor Caucasian “enough. We touch on how he is the only Asian representation on the radio here in YYC and one of few in Canada and the pride he has in that. We talk about his love for the people and places he has went with his career as well as his love for Calgary. We explore how hard work pays off and how if you have belief in yourself it will lead to success. Look out Kam as Andrew takes over "Kam's Korner" and introduces his own twist on the "The Top 5"! Come along and enjoy the “Ums” and “Ahs” of our conversation without edits and laugh and think with us along the way.
