Swinky Got Her Visa!!!
There was a visa and Swinky got it. Boom!
It’s the end of an era on The Hollywood Fishbowl - The era was a much-despis’d one, primarily defined by there being no Swinky in America or on The Hollywood Fishbowl. How Swinky got here is not a story quickly told. So, we tell it slowly. Once we’ve covered all of that, we turn to The Fishbowl and pull questions on early childhood memories (@whostheross), horror movies (@bentrandem), and rhetoric philosophy (@rksuttle). As always, thank you for listening!

Little Tokyo: Mariko Lochridge Invests Daily And Dollarly
Kicking off our maxi-series on Little Tokyo is community organizer, journalist and all-around-terrific person, Mariko Lochridge.
Mariko Lochridge jumped back and forth between America and Japan quite a bit growing up. These international interests and ambitions eventually led her to a career in journalism, a career that allowed her to maintain her global mindset. Everything changed when she discovered the challenges and rewards of community organization and local level politics. It’s this think locally/act locally approach that led her to the Little Tokyo Service Center in Downtown Los Angeles, which in turn led to this very mini-series. Since Mariko is producer on this series, we decided to reserve the first block in the deepest dive to date on The Hollywood Fishbowl for her. Get ready for 10 episodes on the past, present and future of Little Tokyo as told through the eyes of historians, community organizers, legacy business owners and up-and-coming entrepreneurs.

Burlesque: Nikita Bitch Project’s Life Was Saved By A Kitten
Nikita Bitch Project loves dance. And parody. And nudity. Those three ingredients collide perfectly in her stage performances but she wasn’t always a Burlesquer. Her story starts in Japan, hops globally and is fascinating throughout.
Life in Japan can be a bit of a challenge if you discover that your passion lies in dance, parody and nudity as Nikita Bitch Project did. Nikita Bitch Project was working at an ad agency in Tokyo when her life took a pair of very sharp turns. The first was learning about the world of Burlesque which led to dreams of living in New York where she could watch live shows any time she likes. The second was the great earthquake of 2011. These two powerful influencing factors created a perfect storm that would change the trajectory of her life forever.
