Korean. American. Podcast
A weekly chat between a native Korean and a Korean American, exploring cultural differences through their daily lives in Seoul and the US.
A casual, conversational podcast where two friends, one Korean and one American, dissect cultural nuances. The show's central narrative follows the American host's family life, first as expats in Korea and now through the process of moving back to the United States. This provides a real-time case study for their discussions on everything from tipping and rental systems to parenting and language.
“The show's strength is its specific host dynamic: a native Korean and a long-term American resident. The current arc following the American host's family moving back to the US provides a unique, ongoing narrative of reverse culture shock and bicultural identity.”
Who hosts this show
Co-hosts Daniel (the American) and June (the Korean) explore topics from both cultural perspectives. Daniel is a Korean American who moved his family to Korea in 2021 and is now documenting their move back to the US. June is a native Korean who was born in Daegu, attended grad school in the US, and now lives in Seoul. Their conversations often stem from Daniel's experiences as an expatriate, contrasting modern life, social norms, and family dynamics between the two countries.

What you'll be asked on this show
The show is not a standard interview podcast; most episodes are conversational chats between the two co-hosts. In the rare instance they host guests, such as with the host's own children, the style is gentle and encouraging. The interview is framed as a casual, comfortable conversation, using simple, open-ended questions to elicit personal stories and memories.
This is a co-hosted conversational chat, not a formal interview show. One host often explains a Korean cultural concept for the other and the audience. While they sometimes have a topic, episodes frequently become 'daily life' catch-ups based on personal anecdotes, such as moving logistics or festival experiences.
