On-line Interviews and Articles
1999 ~ 2020
For a few weeks of the late Spring of 2002 I was the guest of the well-known book-author-interview internet-site
"Inkwell.vue" (run by The Well discussion-forum of San Francisco, where I've been a member since 1993).  A
bunch of us talked about my book Spirit of the Mountains and the related issues.  The slightly-edited transcript is
posted here.  It contains a lot of good background info about San-shin and Korea, stories from my research, and
discussion about it all.  I think the whole discussion went off pretty well, but you can decide for yourself.

In 2004, two of my articles were featured by Yonhap News Agency World Service
on its English website's "Korean Culture, Yesterday and Today" section.
For  "Mountain Spirits Are Resurgent in Modern Korea"  see:

Unfortunately, these articles seem to no longer be reachable on that site.


There have been interesting interviews with me about San-shin on KBS Radio,
KBS-TV, MBC-TV and Arirang-TV, that were posted on their websites, but they
are no longer there.  I'll get digital versions of them up here someday...
