🎧 Podcast: Fever Dreams and Protest Streets | Moving Beyond Korea's Highlight Reel

Happy New Year! 새해 복 많이 받으세요!This is my first episode of 2026, and it comes as a companion to this week’s Substack essay. It’s not a word-for-word reading. Think of it as the version I’d tell you over coffee. If you read the post and then listen, you’ll get the full picture.This year, I’m leaning into what this show was always meant to be: Understanding Korea, one story at a time. Lighter on the inbox, deeper in the long run, with the book getting its own separate space to grow. If you listen to this episode, you’ll have a clearer sense of where I’m headed and what I’m building this year.One little surprise to start 2026: FeedSpot recently ranked this podcast #2 among AI-generated podcasts and #26 on its NotebookLM-generated podcast list. I’m recording in my own voice now, but I’m genuinely glad those early experiments are still finding listeners. And the roundups include plenty of other great shows too, so take a look! Thanks for being here. If you enjoy the show, subscribing and sharing it helps more than you know. It’s one of the simplest ways to help new listeners discover the podcast.See you next week. Bye!
