What it is
Jonson Lee and guests discuss culture, identity and language, switching between Korean and English, with many episodes accompanied by free transcripts and translations on the website — that transcript support is what makes it usable as study material rather than just listening. Free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and the site. The bilingual format means less pure Korean input per hour than an all-Korean podcast.
Episodes are played straight from the publisher's feed — nothing is hosted here, and the five newest are whatever the feed served when this page was last built. All Korean podcasts →
