This episode was difficult to do. Korea was reeling after a tragedy in which hundreds of high school kids lost their lives on a school trip because their ferry sank. It was right after it happened and we felt like we had to react.

Episode 2 of the new format.This episode tackles derailing and online flame wars.

After almost a year long hiatus we picked up in Season 2.In this pilot episode we introduce a new format with host, Aaron Martinson and Olivia Lim.Eugene now is doing News of the Weird and Rob is here for On the Pulse. We interviewed Shannon Heit about adoptee issues and a particular SNL Korea sketch that just wasn't kosher.

This was to be the end of Café Seoul. At this point we were getting tired of all the logistics. We tried to be different but it fell flat. Anyway, posting it for historical purposes.

Oppan Pyongyang Style!North Korea was all over the news in April 2013. So we decided to cash in.. but... yeah, it's the beginning of the end of season one. Soon things will get worse and we'll take a LOOONG hiatus.

This is quite possibly the best of our episodes from season one. The peak of our comedic flair before we got bogged down. It was still fun at this point.

Holidays in Korea can be funny.

Another notch on the wall... or something.We look at school in Korea because Korea's going back to school.

Love is in the air. We look at the funny side of Valentine's Day in Korea.

Episode 3 is all about the lunar new year in Korea.

This is our first foray into comedy. Hope you enjoy it.The subject is tourism.I'm mass uploading so you won't get a description.

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME LISTENING TO CAFÉ SEOUL, DO NOT START WITH THIS EPISODE.It is only here as a historical record. Please start with season 2 to get a better idea of what kind of podcast we are. Season 1 is very different.This is the very first episode of Café Seoul We honestly didn't quite know what we were doing. But you have to start somewhere. The show started out with 6 members, and the object was to talk current events and play games and tell stories. This may be a chore to listen to. Sorry in advance.It's also the first and last appearance of Dan Shin on the show. Dan was instrumental in motivating Eugene to really bring this show together.The six members were:Rob OuwehandChristine ShinOlivia LimMichael JonesDan ShinEugene Hwang
