Welcome to our first live show on the Internet!  We taped this live with a chat room audience starting at around 11 p.m. Seoul time on December 31st, 2008.  It was so fun that I think we’ll do these live shows more often.

This show, in order to get it out for folks who want to listen to it quickly, is coming out pretty much raw, like the Christmas episode.  Next week we’ll have more of those wonderful squeaky clean polished produced SeoulPodcasts that you demand.
