In this latest episode [no. 34] of the 'NoSoKoPo', recorded in Seoul, Jay speaks to a man of many talents, An Sonjae (안선재) aka Brother Anthony / Brother Anthony of Taizé.

An Sonjae is a writer, translator, scholar and naturalized Korean citizen but also quite an expert on various aspects of Korean culture.

In what is a shorter interview that our recent ones, Jay and Brother Anthony manage to cover various topics and these include the origin of An Sonjae's name, becoming a Korean citizen, how he got into translation and more.

Although this epsiode - and therefore interview - is under 30 minutes in length, it's likely that An Sonjae will make a return to the Not So Korean Podcast at a later date and when we can focus on one or two of so many of his talents or areas of expertise.

We would like to thank to thank An Sonjae / Brother Anthony once again, and not only for sparing his time, but also for spending quite a bit of time with Jay on his most recent trip to South Korea (a little of which is spoken about in the introduction segment of this epsiode.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
