In this episode of The Seoul Patch Podcast, the guys discuss the idea that it's never too late to reach out to those in the past that we used to be close with. When you live an expat lifestyle, it's easy to let friends from high school, college, your 20s, etc. slip from your fingers. Sometimes we grow apart, and sometimes we just put off writing that email. What Ryan discovered during his trip home is that the other party is often wanting to reach out to you, and it just takes one person taking the initiative in order to reestablish contact with that close friend from the past. Let us know if you have experienced this at podcast@theseoulpatch.com.

In this episode of the podcast, Kevin, Ryan, and Jack discuss the tragic news regarding the teacher who is suspected of committing suicide in the classroom. Although we usually keep things light here on TSP, we felt it was certainly worth discussing this sad news story and examining possible reforms that can prevent situations like this from happening again.

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's an interesting conversation, I don't think it's one that I'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're into travel or Korea, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation.

In this week's episode of The Seoul Patch Podcast, Kevin drops some serious knowledge about the faces we see every day on our cash bills yet have no idea who they are. Poor Ryan wrestles with a leaky faucet in his apartment and the resulting construction work that must ensue to put an end to the leak. And finally, Jack may be physically present but his brain is in another solar system as he fights off a cold most likely brought on by the ever present fine yellow dust which engulfs the nation every spring.

This week, the guys talk about the fire at the server farm that put Kakao Talk out of commission for a few days. The guys talk about how that disruption affected them and how much they actually do depend on one app during their everyday lives. The guys also briefly discuss Korea's bid to host of the 2036 Olympics. The guys will be well ensconced in their 50s and in Jack'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 'quality, not quantity', The Seoul Patch will be releasing episodes biweekly (or bimonthly, I'm never sure what these actually mean.) We'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've been up to, disgusting things you can do to food with mint-choco, and fentanyl. It's a wide range of topics, but it'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's episode of The Seoul Patch Podcast, Jack and Kevin sit down with big time YouTube teacher Robin Shaw of YouTube'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.

In this episode of the Patch, Kev, Ryan, and Jack talk about what it'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's a lot of shop talk in this ep, but hey, they are teachers after all. Sometimes it's hard to get them to shut up about school stuff.
