They discuss whether he notices what goes on on around him has he records himself on video on the streets of\u00a0various countries; the suburbs of Seoul versus the suburbs of Phoenix; the possible pronunciations of “QiRanger”; why he lives in Asia, and in this moment Korea; whether he researched Korea beforehand or just plunged in; when and why he made his first video ever; how his travel videos came as a natural extension of old family slideshows; the origin of his “walk-and-talk” videos, in which he does exactly that; the usefulness of neighborhood maps in Korean subway stations, especially\u00a0when they got calorie counts added to them; why he enjoys Korean food in the Philippines so much; his experience as a tall white guy with a shaved head in a homogenous Asian country, and how his youth\u00a0at a black school prepared him for it; how he got into news podcasting; the cafe street in Dongtan<\/a>, where he lives, and how business models become brief crazes in Korea; the planning for failure Koreans don’t tend to do; his Korean foods of choice; the difference between\u00a0\uc2e0\ucc9c and\u00a0\uc2e0\ucd0c; his success rate with Mexican cuisine in Korea; how to think about the Philippines; the inevitable video-making that happens on his vacations; what a GoPro actually is; they myth about foreigners in Korea he’d most like to explode; the motivation\u00a0his\u00a0Star Trek-<\/em>watching childhood instilled in him; why he wants to stop teaching basic English in Korea, and why students of English there rarely learn to communicate well; why he thinks Asia is so important, and how he thinks it enriches those who come to it.<\/p>\n
