  1. NoSoKoPo EP 50: DAEGU & V.I.P. ('Verney Important Person'?!) in Daegu (대구) with Chingu (친구)...?

    11/20/2025

    NoSoKoPo EP 50: DAEGU & V.I.P. ('Verney Important Person'?!) in Daegu (대구) with Chingu (친구)...?

    In this 'on the go', rambling but real episode (a 50th, milestone!), Jay speaks to you from the surroundings which are that big city known as DAEGU (대구) where he was invited to, by not one but two of his art-related friends... and much of this episode was recorded on the last full day in South Korea, 1st November 2025 (yes, the day before I would leave, that being 2nd November* and also the day Jay was in 3 Asian cities in 1 Day:  Daegu, Seoul and Chiang Mai...!) *That date of 2nd November was ALSO the exact same date I would leave Korea a year before [2024]. This visit to Daegu marked Jay's second visit - his first being about 12 years ago [2013...?] - and just like the last one it's a rather short visit, albeit managing to do quite a lot over 3 days / nights... and these things include: - Visiting the Daegu metro memorial - Visiting the Daegu Arts Centre - Meals with friends / artists - A little sight-seeing - The KTX train there, and back (always a great experience in Korea) Things NOT touched on but will touch on in the future: - 'Daefrica' - Spotting an actual rollercoaster... soon after using the phrase, "rollercoaster"  - Safety park elsewhere in Daegu, related to or started due to the Metro Disaster in 2003.  - My hotel - will cover later on - Being approached by a well-known church group - Did I catch that Korean film? - Reboking my KTX return train! Jay also touches on the reasons for being in Korea on this particular trip, and indeed it being his 12th time in South Korea!  Yes, this includes mention of his feature documentary [SEWOL:  Sealed Eternally With Our Love] having its Korean Premiere in Seoul, at the lovely "Seoul Whistler Film Festival".

    EP 46: "한달살기" (KOREANS/ 'one-month living'), INTERVIEWS, New SOUTH KOREA Plans

    "One Month KOREANs, THREE months,          One Call with TIM, TWO or THREE hours!                  One Evening with FRAN - FOUR hours...!                          One More Interview (JOE), after our TWO meetings                                 +  One More Trip to KOREA, so TWO so far this year...?!" In episode 46 of our Not So Korean Podcast, Jay speaks about "한달살기" ('one-month living'), hints at 2 upcoming NoSoKoPo interviews [Joe and Fran], talks briefly about his long phone-call with fellow/sometime co-host, Tim (Timothy Holm), announces another 'sudden' return to South Korea, being a jury member at a new Seoul film festival and a little more! The main topic is "한달살기" ('one-month living'), which perhaps some of you may know is a term used for other places which Koreans visit - not least Jeju Island - but in Chiang Mai it's so hugely popular! As mentioned back in episodes 37, 40, 43 etc, these slightly shorter, mini-shows are being called the Not So 'Long' Korean Podcast episodes (or 'NoSoLOKoPo') and we will be inserting such 'bite-sized' or 'subject specific' Korean related episodes into our Series [or Seasons;)] every now and then.

    EP. 45: Anna Bondarenko (INTERVIEW) - Art Space & Busan Based

    In episode 45, Jay speaks with Anna Bondarenko, the owner of Naughty Muse Studios, a design studio and art café in Busan, South Korea.  In this hour-long chat with Anna Bondarenko, we find out not only what it’s like being an art space owner in Busan, and indeed about the artist community in that city, but also about Anna's life, her fondness for Korean culture, how she ended up in Busan and what it’s like living as a foreigner in that seaside city of Busan.   It was actually Jay who approached Anna about conducting this interview, after seeing all the good she is doing in Busan - both locally in the Songjeong area of the Haeundae District & with other artistic indivuals across the city - and I was delighted when she agreed to sit down for a chat.

    Ep 44: JAY Returns to KOREA - So Soon? YES... Cheongju to Jeonju, Sewol Sadness & more

    In episode 44, which was recorded a few days ago and just before leaving for South Korea, Jay not only elaborates on his 'sudden Spring' over to South Korea and it being the 10th visit to Korea in 12 years, but also speaks about why he chose to do this. You'll hear how Jay, having only left Korea in Winter [2023] & now revisiting less than 4 months later in Spring [2024, intends to spend his next few weeks - or maybe a couple of months - in Korea. Not only are there details of various places on Jay's list, like Cheongju, Seoul, Busan, Jeongju and Jeju Island but also reasons for choosing those places and how some of these opportunites arose.  On top of that, you'll also find out about film festivals, Korean film as well as regarding Korean culture in other countries - these include Korean-related events & topics from the nearby countries of Thailand and Vietnam! Lastly, but something which plays a large part in this 10th trip of Jay's to Korea, is the subject of the 10th anniversary of the Sewol ferry tragedy.

    Episode 43: An Announcement About... Jay's 'sudden' Return to South Korea!

    In this half-festive and Easter episode (and our 43rd one!), Jay announces an almost spontaneous trip to South Korea, which will be his 10th visit to Korea in 12 years! Yes... In this shorter episode, you'll hear from Jay about this upcoming journey - even though it was only in December when he last left Korea - and it touches on the kindness of others, the 10 year Sewol ferry anniversary, an forthcoming interview and more.  As mentioned back in episodes 37 & 40, these slightly shorter, mini-shows are being called the Not So 'Long' Korean Podcast episodes (or 'NoSoLOKoPo') and we will be inserting such 'bite-sized' or 'subject specific' Korean related episodes into our Series [or Seasons;)] every now and then. [NOTE: As always, a version of this episode will also be available over on our fairly recently created @notsokoreanpodcast YouTube channel - please feel free to subscribe to that!] FURTHER INFO Details about subjects covered or touched on in this episode and recent ones can be found below.
