[Wesley Phelps interview with Marc Stein, November 16, 2022]
Audio interview from the Wes Phelps Podcast Interviews Collection recorded on November 16th, 2022 in San Francisco, California. Phelps interviews Marc Stein over the Supreme Court case Boutilier v. Immigration and Naturalization Service. A case through which Canadian immigrant Clive Michael Boutilier fought back against the INS after being deported for his sexuality. Boutilier, due to his sexuality, was considered to be afflicted with a psychopathic personality disorder, and was therefor denied U.S. citizenship. Stein and Phelps discuss the influence this case would have on LGBT rights in the United States. The influences of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization and the overturning of Roe v. Wade on the integrity of LGBT court cases are additionally discussed.

Description of a family farm
Obawati Doley describes her family's paddy field which covers about 6-7 bighas (~4 acres) outside Mukoli Potar village. She lists the crops growing (pirmen jangiya, ampi, malbug, dumuang), the trees planted in the field, and the crops seen on neighboring farms like agotiyang aam. When asked if the younger generation is keen on farming, she explains that the few who could not further their studies tend to resort to farming as a source of income. The paddy field also includes markati, kojer, rinji, maːdag, bogori, a tongi (a watchman shed in the middle of the field to keep animals away), and a river at the periphery of the paddy field. She says this year is predicted to be a good harvest.

Description of a traditional house interior
Rebot Pegu describes the interior of a traditional family home in Ratanpur village which is built on raised platforms. Méram, the lowest platform made of mud and wood, is where food is cooked. It is cleaned every day. Pérab, the hanging platform made of bamboo, is where dried fish and meats are smoked. Rébbong, another hanging platform, is used to store large items like earthen pots or épo, a traditional platelike utensil made of bamboo which separates husks from grains. Ríːsíng, the open space to the left of méram, is where the elderly people sit. Koktok, the open space to the right of méram, is where the women responsible for the cooking sit. The bamboo pieces are placed close together in ríːsíng, whereas in koktok, they are placed wider apart to allow space for washing. Before electricity was available in the village, lamps were hung on the corners of the méram.

Description of cutting paddies
The speaker describes the process of cutting paddies (aam). She was delayed by continuous rains and flooding which washed away the paddy bundles that were already cut. She says it will take 2-3 days to complete the entire paddy field. She explains that this variety, known as ranjit aam in Mising, was planted during aahar (June) and it is being cut during ahin-kati (October-November). Ranjit aam is one of the agotiyang aam, meaning 'paddy that is done before the actual season.' She says later she will cut other paddies including amdang aam, bor jangiya aam, and dumuang aam.

Description of making potika
Chandrakanta Doley describes the process of making potika along with Dipok Kumar Doley and Obawati Doley. First, jaggery is melted, and then épob (medicinal herb mixture) is sprinkled in. They note how potika is consumed locally and in other areas, observing it is often over-consumed. Chandrakanta Doley warns about low-quality potika made by burning sandals and clothes, instead recommending ones made at home or bought from trusted villagers. This is because low-quality potika is associated with health risks and may contain additives like tobacco which decrease one's longevity. Even high-quality potika must be taken in moderation, as consuming too much can lead to liver and/or lung damage and inflammation. In moderate doses, potika is used for medicinal purposes such as preventing high blood pressure. Chandrakanta Doley recalls how doctors suggested potika as treatment during a recent malaria outbreak in the village. He says he has been consuming potika every night after dinner for 30 years.

Description of smoking fish, part 1
Obawati Doley describes the process of smoking fish. She starts by cleaning the fish by removing the innards and the scales with a katok (knife) so the fish will cook faster. The cleaned fish is then put on the pérab. If the flame is high, one day of smoking is enough for the fish to be cooked. It can also be dried in the sun. She says Mising people are especially fond of smoked fish and meat.

Description of weaving baskets
Dipok Kumar Doley describes the process Rebot Pegu follows while weaving a bamboo basket called pétum. First, bamboo is sliced thinly using a katok (knife) or matsíg (sharp object), and then the strips are woven together. These baskets are used as containers for storage (of amli-péli, amrong, apong, or paan), transportation, or as enclosures for hens and ducks. He says pétum weavers have to be swift, and they have to know the method of arranging the thinly sliced bamboo to make a beautiful, hand-crafted pétum. In the past, his in-laws would wrap meat and apong in banana leaves, but nowadays, the new generation is not keen on making pétum. He says only a handful are aware of this weaving technique.

Description of weaving implements, part 1
Krishna Pegu describes the process of using the weaving machine while weaving a traditional garment of Mising women called ege gasor. The garment she is weaving has floral patterns in it, called mosang. The flowers are placed in a pattern called kepson which is designed to seem like the flowers are attached or running in a particular direction. She explains how the parts work together for weaving. Paksang is the white thread attached in the middle of the longer threads, where all the flowers are structured. Ya:pa is used to lift the threads which are needed in the making of the patterns. The pointed L-shaped wooden instrument is called keːsanané. It is used to raise the required threads for engraving the gamig (floral pattern). She runs her fingers through the white threads attached to the longer threads, called doːn. Sangkok is a pedal the weaver pushes with their feet. She demonstrates pushing the makung towards the further end, lifting the ya:pa, and placing red and black floral patterns on the lifted threads to make gamig.

Description of weaving implements, part 2
Krishna Pegu describes the parts of the weaving machine. The wooden device that has a large wheel is called a jontor. The one beside the jontor, where slender bamboo sticks are tied together, is called sereki. The set of four bamboo pillars supporting the entire structure is called ta:tal. Makung is the driver of the whole machine which helps in running the threads. Bor sereki is the piece which is larger than the sereki. Tangngé lifts the required threads for making patterns; yaːpa and keːsanané also raise threads. Tulutang is the thick wood, placed vertically, which the threads are rolled over. Raːsi is the piece with which the threads are pulled closed together. After running the thread using a makung, raːsi is pulled towards the weaver so that the thread merges with the rest of the material. Nasoni is a round wheel-like plastic object which moves in circles.
