Episode 11: I See Old People (Daily Life)

Korean. American. Podcast

This week Jun and Daniel continue the theme from last week, but this time, they take it stateside. Listen in as Jun takes Daniel on a journey of the senses to describe some of the more light-hearted minutiae of everyday life in the US. What are the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feels of America to a Korean? What do Americans take for granted and not realize might feel foreign to others? What is an innocent American gesture that Koreans find rude? Is there actually any science behind how Korean and American people talk? Do Koreans and Americans smile differently? Where does Jun feel most exposed in America? And just how many times can Daniel say “ooh, interesting” in one episode?
If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! This week we also learn about Daniel’s childhood tradition whenever he got new shoes, Jun’s design sense, and a traumatizing memory from Daniel’s college years.
