Seoul Glow

Blogger, writer, journalist and photographer Michael Hurt (of Scribblings of the Metropolitician) has launched a new video podcast about Korea.

The first episode is a rather warm and touching look at New Year’s resolutions, captured on the street (near City Hall and Myeongdong?) this New Year’s Eve.

I can’t say enough great things about this. I’ve been hoping someone would do something like it for a long time. I’ve seen video podcasts about expats living in China, some in Europe, but never one about (and for) Korea.

Although he says the first episode is still rough, I think it already does a great job of capturing the flavor of everyday life in Seoul—the warmth and friendliness of most of its residents and what matters to them.
