Ep. 28 – Robert Koehler on Blogging, Travel, and Photography

Thursday, September 19, 2019 • Duration 45:07

Robert Koehler is a long-time Korea resident, who rose to fame - at least among expats in Korea and those interested in the country - by way of blogging. The Marmots Hole, as his site was called, was for a time arguably the most well-known and well-written blog of its kind. It was certainly a tremendous conduit for those interested in Korean politics, society, history, and just general everyday life here.

Now Robert spends his time wearing many hats - he writes books, he edits columns, he tours, and he takes photos - beautiful photos. We talk about all of that, his decision to terminate the Marmot, and what it’s like living in Seoul for some two decades.

You can follow him on instagram at rjkoehler74, and while you’re there check out TooSix Media Group at tsmg_sound. This episode was recorded and co-produced at their studio in Hongdae, Seoul, South Korea. You can also check them out at their website at toosixglobal.com.

Ep. 27 - Darcie Draudt on Multiculturalism and Korean National Identity

Thursday, July 25, 2019 • Duration 53:07

Darcie Draudt is a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University. She is currently in Seoul as a Korea Foundation dissertation fieldwork fellow and a visiting scholar at the Yonsei University Department of Political Science. Darcie's research comprises US-Northeast Asian relations and Korean identity and multiculturalism, and we spend a lot of time on what it means to be Korean today and how the country is grappling with internationalism and growing migration, and how that forces a reconciliation of sorts with traditional - or lets say, conventional - Korean values and perceptions of self. You can connect with Darcie on Twitter, @darciedraudt and view all of her work and current research at darciedraudt.com

As always if you like the show please subscribe and rate us on iTunes, it’s the fastest way to help grow our audience.

Ep. 17 - Susan Sell-Haynes on Athletic Achievement, Sports, and Leadership

Saturday, February 10, 2018 • Duration 57:09

Susan Sell-Haynes is the Director of Sport at Seoul Foreign School, an institution many regard as Korea’s best primary and secondary school. She has lived in Korea for over eight years, spending most of that time working in athletics. As anyone familiar with the education system here in Korea can attest, sports and other extracurriculars are not high on the priority list for most parents. We talk about navigating ‘Korean sensibilities’ about education, the benefits of physical activity to childhood development, institutional resources, and the best parts of living in Seoul. You can connect with Susan at susan.sellhaynes@seoulforeign.org and Seoul Foreign School at www.seoulforeign.org.

Ep. 12 – Christopher Maslon on bodybuilding and self-determination

Wednesday, November 8, 2017 • Duration 55:44

Christopher Maslon is a professor at Daejeon Health Sciences College and competitive bodybuilder. While not exactly a Settler of Seoul, Chris has lived in Korea for the better part of fifteen years and has experienced what he would call a complete transformation over that time. It was in Korea that he first starting lifting and taking fitness seriously, and now in his mid-40s Christopher is in the best shape of his life, achieving top placements at Korean bodybuilding shows, appearing in magazines and model shoots, and even a few Korean movies. So it’s a great conversation you’re about to hear, one that I think was worth the trip to Daejeon. Let’s call this episode Settlers of (Mostly) Seoul.
