Korea Blog Podcast: Seoul’s Book Podcast that Draws Standing-Room-Only Crowds

Seoul-based essayist, broadcaster, & Los Angeles Review of Books Korea Blogwriter Colin Marshall joins Korea FM host Chance Dorland to discuss Lee Dong-jin’s Red Book Room (이동진의 빨간책방), a weekly podcast that since 2012 has been offering an hour and a half to over three hours of discussion of a particular, conversations with the authors themselves, readings of prose as well as poetry, and an opening monologue by the host followed by a short chat about the books he’s recently bought. Colin is a regular at the podcast’s live tapings, which means he arrives at least a few hours early to get a seat for what often turns then be three more hours of listening.
