    Episode Notes Episode 110 is the final episode of Amplify Korea hosted by myself, Philip Brett. Due to time commitments at work, it's the end of a run of 4 years of shows. Given this is episode 110 you can probably tell it's not been the most consistent of runs over those 4 years, with a number of changes since it started out as the Angle Magazine Podcast, changing to AMP, and finally settling on Amplify Korea. It's not all sad news though, with the awesome Michael Keogh taking over hosting duties, and bringing new energy and fresh ideas to the podcast starting from the next episode.

With Covid-19 numbers going down, but still not clear, I'm still not comfortable sharing event information just yet. On the other hand, there's been so much new music to try and keep on top of, it's a welcome break to stay home and listen. I also don't have much choice, as this episode was recorded from quarantine after returning to Korea last week.
