This is an excerpt from a recording of the editorial for Issue 11 of Mithila Review, featuring one of the songs of the revolution from China, songs of street protests from India (the student leader Kanhaiya Kumar raising #azadi slogans) and Hong Kong (singing Hallelujah, which is not included in this excerpt).  I might release the full recording after some edits if this gets traction.  You can read the full editorial here: https://mithilareview.com/shah-10-19/

PS. I just read/recorded the excellent introduction by David Thomas Moore to Creatures: The Legend of Frankenstein (https://amzn.to/2AWjuhK), with stories by Emma Newman, Paul Meloy, Tade Thompson, Rose Biggin and Kaaron Warren. Sending a review to Strange Horizons this week!

PS2. Obviously, I am very conscious about my South Asian (Newari/Nepali/Indian) accent and pronunciation. Reading aloud to prepare for a Skype interview coming up tomorrow, among other exciting things ahead! :D
