Briefly Distracted Matthew Fleischman

Recorded in the summer of 2020

On this week’s episode, I sat down with one of my oldest friends in Daegu, Elvie Whitney.  If there was anyone in Daegu I could think of who had a more interesting and irregular experience living in Korea it would have to be her.  From growing up on the base to managing a foreigner cafe to now running her own creative business Elvie’s story is one of the many reasons she is one of my best friends.

In this episode, we talked about her business that focuses on teaching in the Creative Space, Calliknit.

Join me as Nick talks to us about how this community event got started, and how he came to be in charge of it on this episode of Briefly Distracted.

Welcome to the very first episode of Briefly Distracted.

Over the summer of 2020, I sat down with Ryan Eldredge, owner of EtOHs Pizza Pub In Downtown Daegu, South Korea.

We talk about how EtOHs came to be, what's good, and what makes it special.

Join me as we talk to Ryan and take a short break from the day as we are Briefly Distracted.

Ethos can be found Downtown just a few minute's walk from both Banwoldang Exit 10 and the Samdalk fire station.
