Hey Seoul Patch listeners. I am here with Ryan today. We are one man down, Kevin was unable to make it for the recording. Ryan and I had a conversation about the distinction between the kind of Eat, Pray, Love visiting a country, traveling through and spending a year maybe trying to find yourself or something and the distinction between moving to another country and actually living there, paying bills, building deep relationships, starting families, all that sort of stuff. So it&#39;s an interesting conversation, I don&#39;t think it&#39;s one that I&#39;ve ever heard before, at least not in juxtaposition with that kind of Eat, Pray, Love idea of traveling and the romantic side of it. So if you&#39;re into travel or Korea, I think you&#39;ll really enjoy this conversation.You can find The Seoul Patch Podcast listed on Feedspot&#39;s 25 Best South Korea Podcasts.

The guys also briefly discuss Korea&#39;s bid to host of the 2036 Olympics. The guys will be well ensconced in their 50s and in Jack&#39;s case almost 60s by the time that comes to fruition. Overall, it was a pretty slow news week in Korea, however, the boys tried their best to keep things poppin. Heeding advice from the old adage &#39;quality, not quantity&#39;, The Seoul Patch will be releasing episodes biweekly (or bimonthly, I&#39;m never sure what these actually mean.) We&#39;ll be bringing you the latest stories from the news and our lives on the Korean peninsula twice a month from now on. Catch you on the next Seoul Patch!

The Seoul Patch boys are back in town. Well, they never actually left town. They simply drifted into other projects and distractions all the while planning a return to the Korea podcasting game at some point in the future. And the future is now. We have a brand new episode of The Seoul Patch Podcast for you. Jack, Ryan, and Kev talk about what they&#39;ve been up to, disgusting things you can do to food with mint-choco, and fentanyl. It&#39;s a wide range of topics, but it&#39;s all fun on the Patch as usual! Check out the episode and give us a positive review on Apple Podcasts if you can!

In this week&#39;s episode of The Seoul Patch Podcast, Jack and Kevin sit down with big time YouTube teacher Robin Shaw of YouTube&#39;s very own Shaw English. Robin was generous enough to sit down with the guys and tell his story. He talked about how he began his life in Korea as a teacher. Then, he went on to talk about his time as a recruiter, a university professor, and ultimately a YouTube personality. With more than 1.7 million subs, he has one of the largest English language YouTube channels in the world. Of course in typical Jack fashion, he booked Robin on the show and then almost forgot to ask him about his YouTube channel until the interview was over. Talk about burying the lead! As expected, Robin handled the situation gracefully, and ultimately, the guys were left with a really interesting interview that anyone interested in English education will enjoy.You can find The Seoul Patch Podcast listed on Feedspot&#39;s 25 Best South Korea Podcasts.

In this episode of the Patch, Kev, Ryan, and Jack talk about what it&#39;s like to be back in the classroom now that Covid is winding down. After two years of teaching online, those classroom teaching muscles seemed to have atrophied for the guys. And like modern day Rip Van Winkles, the guys have had to wake those muscles up. There&#39;s a lot of shop talk in this ep, but hey, they are teachers after all. Sometimes it&#39;s hard to get them to shut up about school stuff.

Young and on the Job Hunt in Korea

In this week&#39;s Patch, we talk to Maria, a hagwon owner and entrepreneur here in South Korea. Maria responded to one of our Facebook posts inviting hagwon owners to come on the show and share different perspectives of the English language academy AKA the English hagwon. Maria was kind enough to give us an hour of her time, and her story didn&#39;t disappoint!Maria had a fascinating childhood by most people&#39;s standards. She was born in South Korea, but emigrated to Brazil with her family when she was a child. As a multicultural individual, she often explains her cultural experience like this: &#34;I was born in Korea, but made in Brazil.&#34;During the interview, Maria shared stories about growing up in Brazil, attending an English language international school in Brazil, and then returning to Korea as an adult to teach and eventually run her own school.As adherents to the communicative language learning method, Maria&#39;s teaching philosophy is especially interesting to us. She provided an interesting perspective on not only the administrative side of running a hagwon but the underlying communicative educational approach she employs at her school as well.Thanks again for coming on the show and sharing your story, Maria!You can find The Seoul Patch Podcast listed on Feedspot&#39;s 25 Best South Korea Podcasts.

In this episode of the pod, Kev and Jack interview Teacher Chaunna. Chaunna&#39;s journey to Korea is remarkable in its own right. But while here, she has had two very positive hagwon experiences. And that&#39;s not to say they have all been rainbows and teddy bears for her. But hearing how she was able to navigate certain challenges while maintaining good relationships with her directors is a testament to her ability to see the big picture as well as her professional savvy. Chaunna was a fantastic guest and we really appreciate the time she gave us for this excellent chat. This episode is a great listen that you won&#39;t want to miss!
