The Finale: One Korean. One American. One Last Conversation.
After nearly 130 episodes and three years of conversations, Korean. American. Podcast. is coming to a close. What began as a naive and unassuming attempt to deepen our understanding of each other's cultures grew into something neither of us could have ever expected: an English-language learning podcast. Jokes aside, as the episodes got longer and the topics became more complicated, we discovered that when it comes to cultural differences, there rarely is a right and wrong. There is simply di...

Episode 125: A Stockholm Castle Wedding, Jeonse Stress, and Kids’ Milestones
This week, Jun and Daniel delay the topic they were supposed to discuss and instead catch up after Daniel's recent trip to Stockholm, Sweden. Daniel brings back some authentic Swedish Fish and speed-runs his observations on Nordic life—from the beautifully balanced philosophy of lagom, the prevalence of dads out alone with their young children, and the sheer amount of bicyclists flying about town. He also recounts his deeply emotional "Avicii pilgrimage," surviving Finnish airport security, a...

Episode 123: A Busan Birthday, Tank Day Disaster, and Spitting Watermelon Seeds
This week, Jun and Daniel sit down for their final "regular" episode before Daniel's upcoming move back to the US.
