Customer Reviews
Great Folk Tales and Social Commentary
I’m very interested in Korean Folklore so was happy to hear stories I had never heard before. Definitely give it a listen. Can’t wait to go on their ghost tour.
Great but please use a de-esser
Great podcast for unusual Korean facts. But please use a de-esser on your vocals! The sibilance is hard to listen to.
Fun show
I enjoy their banter and knowledge of Korea. I do wonder how these guys keep this podcast alive seeing as they have so few reviews…hmmm….
It would be cool if they could have some more guests on the show to give some expert insight into some of the topics they cover, but that’s a matter of personal preference.
