In episode 36 of the 'NoSoKoPo', Jay introduces details of the shows's upcoming special guest, James Turnbull, author/founder of The Grand Narrative (https://thegrandnarrative.com) and does so by recording a 'live in Saigon' segment, just before his flight to South Korea, where he intends to spend a few months. You'll not only hear a tiny piece of this interview with James Turnbull at the start but even a little more at the end of the epsiode. Once again, Jay touches on the Korean influence in Vietnam, speaks a little about Chuseok (and the Asian mid Autumn festival in general), the Busan International Film Festival 2023 (BIFF) and the upcoming and 18th London Korean Film Festival (LKFF - more details over at MiniMiniMovie.com) and the soon-to-be-10th anniversary of the tragic Sewol ferry (세월호) incident. A moment is also taken to explain the direction Jay - and hopefully Tim too - will take this Not So Korean Podcast in the future. Yes... A lot is covered in this special episode but perhaps the big question is... Will Jay, on this 9th time in South Korea stay to experience his first cold December there?

In this latest episode [no. 34] of the 'NoSoKoPo', recorded in Seoul, Jay speaks to a man of many talents, An Sonjae (안선재) aka Brother Anthony / Brother Anthony of Taizé. An Sonjae is a writer, translator, scholar and naturalized Korean citizen but also quite an expert on various aspects of Korean culture. In what is a shorter interview that our recent ones, Jay and Brother Anthony manage to cover various topics and these include the origin of An Sonjae's name, becoming a Korean citizen, how he got into translation and more. Although this epsiode - and therefore interview - is under 30 minutes in length, it's likely that An Sonjae will make a return to the Not So Korean Podcast at a later date and when we can focus on one or two of so many of his talents or areas of expertise. We would like to thank to thank An Sonjae / Brother Anthony once again, and not only for sparing his time, but also for spending quite a bit of time with Jay on his most recent trip to South Korea (a little of which is spoken about in the introduction segment of this epsiode.

In this 'on location' episode [no. 32] of our NoSoKoPo', Jay talks from two very different locations - An Airport in Asia & An Area of England - about all kinds of aspects of Korean culture. More specifically though, Jay discusses Korean related experiences during his long 10.5 month Asian journey, as well as Korean culture and its impact on certain areas of the UK and elsewhere. Jay tells us a little about the future of the podcast, interviews and Korean film related 'stuff'...

PART TWO ('Return Of Aline') - Following on from the first part of this interview [in Episode 30], Jay continues his discussion with Korean adoptee, Aline Giordano about the recently released - and much acclaimed - film by Davy Chou, “Return To Seoul”, a film revolving around a Korean adoptee from France but finding herself [perhaps in more ways than one] in South Korea. As before, Aline and Jay also branch off onto other topics, such as Aline’s work, her first time visiting Korea, creativity and how it can feel to be an adoptee. Of course, the conversation always 'returns' to the subject of the movie "Return To Seoul”, its music and music in general & music as therapy. Aline also tells us about whether she will ‘return to Seoul’ herself and also talks more about her Gestalt therapy work. Furthermore, that film’s use of translation & of more than one language is touched on, as is Aline & Jay’s ability or non-ability to learn multiple languages. [It’s probably worth noting that the audio (and the video) quality is better on Aline’s side rather than mine - I’ve tired to make it as audible as possible though...] #ReturnToSeoul #RetouràSéoul #retouraseoul #리턴투서울 #KoreanDiaspora #koreanfrench #frenchkorean #davychou #parkjimin #ohkwangrok #AllThePeopleIllNeverBe #koreanadoptee #koreanadoption #adoptee #adopteevoices #thecure A version of this episode will also be available over on our newly created @notsokoreanpodcast channel - please feel free to subscribe to that!

[It’s probably worth noting that the audio (and the video) quality is better on Aline’s side rather than mine - I’ve tired to make it as audible as possible though...] https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/returntoseoul?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/retour%C3%A0s%C3%A9oul?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/retouraseoul?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/%EB%A6%AC%ED%84%B4%ED%88%AC%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%B8?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/koreandiaspora?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/koreanfrench?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/frenchkorean?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/davychou?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/parkjimin?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/ohkwangrok?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/allthepeopleillneverbe?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/koreanadoptee?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/koreanadoption?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/adoptee?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/adopteevoices?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/thecure?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXIWnhklcjP4kVTU8taBmB8Hhfla2EB9lUS_4gGHWHkl-3bFR-RJezFwqjuOQE3AaZER9tE_0msJrGslGHijkM46GAY4yr5K0vl3xdtzjbUIX95mNlv2BviH3lG6qEUOZNzrHl4uYNslZ0YDlMA_aBGTExVG18SMLtHebJPMd3MYz0Qblk6qJtg8qCPx4bSrvA&__tn__=*NK-R FURTHER INFO: Details about subjects covered or touched on in this episode and recent ones can be found below.

Welcome to the 3rd episode [no. 28] of Series 2 of the 'NoSoKoPo' and in this show we hear from Jay when he was in South Korea & in particular about his slightly restricted arrival in Incheon International Airport to his then arriving, a few hours later at his 'close to Ikseon-dong*' accomodation and therefore in the Jongno area of Seoul. Jay's somewhat "long, winding" journey - and 'long-winded' story to match - touches on everything from getting hold of a sim-card, transportation options, passing through immigration, luggage issues, money, masks and a whole lot more. It's worth pointing out that certain requirements or restrictions relating to travelling to South Korea will have changed since this was recorded (which was in the latter part of 2022) but much of what Jay has to say can still be applicable. *This was almost unbeknown to Jay [his precise proximity to the that hanok-ridden area (aka Ikseondong Hanok Village / 익선동 한옥거리)] and this was perhaps Jason's first experience of such Ikseon-dong streets. You may hear more about this in a future Not So Korean Podcast show -and perhaps as a kind of 'Part 2' of to this episode - if only to hear Jay's realisation of his very close proximity to Changdeokgung Palace (창덕궁) and Changgyeonggung Palace (창경궁)!

Welcome to the second episode [no. 27] of Series 2 of the 'NoSoKoPo' and in this show, we let you hear Jay and Tim's 'farewell chat', recorded just before Jason/Jay left for his few months in South Korea. The chat consisted of discussion about what or where the previous 12 months (& more than 25 epsiodes) had taken Jay and Tim and their lives in New Malden (aka KoreaTown UK), as well as vague plans whilst being apart and also what you lovely "Not So Korean Podcast" listeners may have to look forward to in future episodes. Tim & Jay also hint at future plans regarding a standalone YouTube channel and website [if you've heard epsiode 26 you'll know about these now - full details below too!] and Jason presented Timothy with a very apt gift, one which consisted of elements relating to 3 countries Tim has an interest in: Primarily though, South Korea and his native Canada, but also Thailand. [A huge thank you must go out to the collective behind - & friends of - the YouTube channel, “Retired Working For You”, especially Allan and Khun It…] It was a poignant and rather touching time, and just after Tim & Jay had set-off on their last [2022] bicyle ride together. In fact, a video overview of that day can be seen here: https://youtu.be/Kjy9o5FYVYA (on Jason Verney's channel) AND/OR via https://youtu.be/1mvpoIle-Js (the NEW channel for the Not So Korean Podcast) FURTHER INFO: Details about subjects covered or touched on in this episode can be found below.
