Joe on Peter Greenberg Worldwide

News No Comments »

I will be on the Peter Greenberg Worldwide radio show this weekend.  It’s syndicated around the U.S., usually between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. EST.  You can find a radio station playing it in your area here.  If you miss it or don’t have access to it, it’ll show up in the archives later.

Peter Greenberg is Travel Editor for CBS News and is a regular on The Early Show.

What’s this…?

It looks like the SeoulPodcast is headlining Groove Magazine, along with another obviously satisfied listener.

And they picked the great douchebag pic of Joe in his “Santori Time” pose.

You can get Groove on the cashier’s counter of many restaurants and bars in Seoul, particularly Itaewon.  And while you’re at it, get a copy of the latest issue of 10 Magazine, where Joe is now the resident food writer.

“For relaxing times, make it SeoulPodcast time.”

Calling Wannabe Podcasters

News 3 Comments »

We’re looking to expand the Asia Podcast Network family a bit by adding some new shows to the network.  There are a few that we are specifically working to create.  They don’t have names yet.  If you want to participate here’s what we’re looking for.

Commentary Show

Each week or so, we feature a guest commentary or a small debate.  This is bluntly an audio editorial done by whoever has a bone to pick.

Events Show

This is an exciting one we’ve been toying with for a while.  Originally, we were going to have one person doing the whole show, but there are so many types of activities, it would be better to make it a group compilation show.  Each PJ (Podcast Jockey?) covers a specific niche, such as clubs, festivals or the arts.  You research and put together a short piece covering the scheduled events in your niche, and we splice all of them together into a cohesive show.

Variety Show

Have a song you want to share?  A band you want to promote?  Have you put together a comedy skit?  The expat community has talent.  Share your talent with world (okay, not the world but a larger audience than if you played at a small club).

What do you need?

  • Some means to record your voice.  Especially for the Events Show, you should use a decent quality microphone.  USB mic/headsets are good.  Record your voice on whatever software you feel comfortable with.  If necessary, I can record you remotely using Skype.
  • Professionalism and reliability.  Okay, maybe not professionalism.  All I ask is that if you promise to do something don’t cancel at the last minute.

Also, if you have an idea for a show please share it.  We have had a good bit of experience in setting up the SeoulPodcast, and we could help you out.

Birthday Show and Other Updates

News No Comments »

On Wednesday, March 25th, we’ll record the one year birthday show for the SeoulPodcast.  Funny.  We don’t feel much older.  Actually, we have no idea of what to do for the show, so I’m putting it out to you as to what we should do.  You can also send messages, written or recorded, to sejong_at_seoulpodcast.com to be read or played on the show.

A long overdue addition to the SPC site is an events list on the sidebar showing upcoming shows and panelists.  I hope this relieves some tension in your day.

Oh, and if you just can’t get enough, I’ve started doing a regular food segment on TBS eFM’s “Soul of Asia” every Friday or every other Friday around 11:30 a.m.

Mark your calendars for April 7th.  Daniel Gray of Seoul Eats and the famous Eun Jeong will be amongst the folks downing gross crap when “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern” features Korea on the Travel Channel (and on Discovery Asia, too, I think).  Being one of the instrumental fixers for the program, I’m in the credits somewhere.  If you miss it you’ll likely see it over and over again, knowing how Discovery Networks repeats programming.  You can also order the episode for CHEAP on iTunes after it comes out.

Speaking of which, Dan Gray will be on the Korea episode of “Gourmet’s Diary of a Foodie,” which airs on PBS stations in the U.S. at different times in April.  It may show up on iTunes as a free download in two months.

LIVE with the Marmot and MORE — Wednesday, Feb. 4 at 10 p.m.

We’re going to have a live show Wednesday night, February 4, at 10.  Joining us will be Bart Schaneman (The Korea Herald), “Skinny” Steve Ward (Seoul Steves), Stafford Lumsden (The Chosun Bimbo) and Robert Koehler (The Marmot’s Hole).

We plan to talk about the relevance of the English language media in Korea, along with a good slew of news, views and other ways to waste your time.

Grab your favorite beverage and join us in the chat room.
