Shuffled! Christine Miguel
Shuffled! is a new feature on BPRLive, in which we ask some of our favorite people on the scene to set their mp3 player of choice to random, and tell us about the first few songs that they hear.
Today’s Shuffler: Christine Miguel.
Christine Miguel has lived, laughed and loved film, television and music since she was a young girl listening to her dad’s 8 track cassettes filled with Teresa Teng and Chinese Opera while watching poorly dubbed kung-fu films. A former entertainment editor for an Asian culture lifestyle magazine, she co-hosted an Asian pop radio show for CKLN 88.1FM in Toronto for 5 years. She has also been featured on CBC Radio twice as one of the many voices in contemporary Asian culture. These days, she blogs both for her own blog POP 88 @ Popcast88.com and 8Asians.com.
She can also be found writing reviews for Suite101.com and recently contributed to the first anthology of Asian Canadian cinema: “Reel Asian: Asian Canada on Screen.”
Obsession du jour are all things Korean: music, food, film and even television. Her Chinese parents from the Philippines are worried.
