Changkhui: Changkhui

Our co-host, Ning, invited an interesting couple to share their biking experience. Both, with a group of friends, went to Switzerland for a bike trip. That showed how serious they took their biking as a hobby. Also, K.Pakasit, the husband, rode his bike to work on a daily basis to Sathorn road in the middle of Bangkok. This was another long recording so we splitted into 2 recordings and this was the first one.

We have seen him in various places, seminars and talks. Pawoot Pongvitayapanu, AKA @Pawoot, is a modern-day entrepreneur. The news of Rakuten investing in his Tarad.com in 2009 was talk of the town among IT people. We invited him over for share his entrepreneur experience. @Ripmilla was kind enough to co-host. And we have a guest, Aey, to ask some questions.

We first met Pakorn, AKA iNattt, at Wawee as the lead local of the iHear band. And over the year, he became famous in his own right. He posted what he encountered during the chaos in Bangkok in May of this year. And over night, he gained thousands followers on Twitter because of the incidents. However, there was another side of him that most people were not aware of, he was jewelry designer. On the first episode, we asked him to share his experience and expertise in jewelry design. By accident, we had Rud coming over to join the conversation and it turned out to be a long discussion. We decided to break it into two episodes; one on jewelry design and the others on singing. On the second episode, we focused on his singing experience and how he became an iHear member.

From the event, organized by the Aspirers Group at the Siam City hotel, on Saturday September 25, 2010, we decided to use this session as an episode in Changkhui. The event was live broadcasted over the internet by Beenets. On this session, there were six digital media enthusiasts shared their views on current development on digital media and devices.

One of very first, if not the first, podcasts in Thailand came to our show. The Dual Geek podcast, Wee Viraporn (http://www.DesignPaiBonPai.com or http://www.twitter.com/comicstudies) and Rawitat Pulam (http://www.Rawitat.com or http://www.twitter.com/Rawitat), came to host an episode for us. The two usually talked on various Mac topic, and since Apple just recently launched an update on its iPod product line, a listener then suggested that DualGeek and Changkhui hosted an episode together to talk about this. And they promptly agreed. It was really a pleasure to have them on our show.

We were invited to appear at FM 101 radio on Sunday September 5, 2010 7:30pm - 9:00pm, to share our podcast story. Cheeptham Khamwisate and Pantit Sirapobthada were the show host. We talked mainly on Changkhui history, the business of podcast (there ever was one) and the future.

Something we have been wishing for but did not really push for it. We incidentally stumbled upon a listener, @VirusFowl, who was blind. It's been an itch to find out how the blinds surfed on the Internet, so we could not pass up this oppportunity. Then we asked a long-time volunteer for the blinds in Thailand, also, a long-time Changkhui listener, @VisEua to share his experience. He then tried persuading @NooKao, another volunteer to join the episode. But we would need @OuiMu's help, so she would come along. Finally, we found @Ripmilla on Skype, so we pulled him in just for fun.

A topic suggested by @Paul_Lin, as we were running out of topic. Once a topic was established, the rest started falling into place. We managed to get @ripmilla and his significant others, @JoyZ, to share their experiences. Since this was the fourth-year anniversary of Changkhui, it would only be appropriate to get the new-blood co-host, @FordAntitrust, to host the episode with the original co-host since episode one, Worawat. As to be expected, having five people chatting, it was just a matter time when someone would steer away from the intended topic, hence, the name of the episode.
