Episode 41: All about Korean Traditions
Listen now
Description
WE ARE BACK! In the first episode of season 2, we delve into traditions in the land of the morning calm. We get into the origins of the Kim surname (which we’ve almost certainly butchered), mourning for 48 days and conveyor-belt-style weddings. We also discuss being able to have nice things in Korea, not having bins in public, changing attitudes towards Japan and Korean incels (as well as loads of other Korean traditions). Good to be back. As always, something for everyone. P.S. Listen out for our catchy new jingle too, courtesy of former Cheongju resident and all-around murky bastard, Harvey Furniss.
