The Soju Sessions The Soju Sessions

In this week's episode of #thesojusessions, we have a very special guest as Josh's Dear Mum joins us, fresh off the back of her trip to Korea.

We look at Korea through the perspective of the holidaymaker and discuss things like eating puffer fish and eel, as well as Korean tending to approach Western women more than they might men. Oh, and there's also more ridiculous Chat GPT searches.

We also get into midnight runs, a fight in the street between two Korean women and the always-well-received gift from students.

As usual, something for everyone.

Get on it.

In this week's episode we speak to our first EVER Korean guest, which we're extremely excited about.

We briefly discuss Daniel's job (he's a bodyguard), why Korean men often call Western men handsome and the reason why we've wanted a Korean on for so long: How Korean people view Westerners who live in Korea.

We also get into common culture clashes from a Korean perspective, the bluntness of some Koreans when speaking English and more (shocking) Josh lookalikes.

As usual, something for everyone.

Get on it.

In the second part of Kevin's #sojusessions (finally), we discuss Guinness (potentially) being overrated, disruptive students, Liverpool's cultural behemoth, Brookside (specifically Barry Grant) and Kevin's YouTube channel - Korea Brewing Adventure.

We also get into the fabled midweek night-out in Korea, Korea's "bali-bali" culture, Kevin's future brewing plans, as well as the first seeds of a #sojusessions social being planted.

As usual, something for everyone.

Get on it.

In this week's episode of #thesojusesions, we speak to Canadian teacher/YouTuber/brewer, Kevin Grabb.

We discuss (not) shouting insults at Korean mates out the window of a moving car like you would friends at home, complaining whilst living in a first-world country and not taking the small things for granted.

We also chat about Kevin brewing his own makgeolli (traditional Korean booze) and ale, the outrageous price of booze in Dubai and how easy it was to make friends in Korea 10+ years ago plus loads, loads more.

Something for everyone, as usual.

Get on it.

In this week's episode, we speak to American teacher Lizzie Hobbie.

We discuss all sorts of things including (not) waving at old people, questionable driving in Korea and not having an adult conversation at work for 5 years.

We also get into a BBC show which claimed Koreans are unhelpful, Korean people asking how old you are within 5 minutes of meeting (and also being shocked at how Westerners address older people) and another hot take on geopolitics (this time the Taiwan-China debate).

There's also some chat about naked cartwheels in PC Bangs (we never quite know where these conversations will go).

Something for everyone as per.

Get on it.

In this week's episode of #thesojusessions, we talk to university lecturer and part-time DJ, Paul Wynne.

We discuss leaving England and heading to Korea at 40, living in rural Korea and the cultural phenomenon that is Koreans using roundabouts.

We also get into Paul’s passion for Northern Soul music and playing local festivals in Seoul and the wider East Asia area, our shared disdain for K-Pop, as well as vinyl snobs.

Or don't. I'm not the boss of you.
