Send us Fan MailIt's a beautiful night, but there is an autumnal damp chill in the air. So, snuggle up with us aboard the Erica as we enter the mysterious, but perhaps not so different, world of geese, and we find out what happened when nine of them flew in on one late summer's afternoon. In celebration of the life of Wendell Berry, we read his poem 'Wild Geese.'  Journal entry:3rd September, Thursday“Awake to a jewelled morning Fresh washed in last night's rain. There are puddles along the towpath And glass-like rosehips glisten In smoky hedges of old man's beard.Last night I listened to rain Drumming on the cabin roof And its hiss upon the stirred water Of the canal.”Episode Information:In this I read Wendell Berry's poem ‘Wild Geese' in commemoration of his life and work.

On this week's episode of the Korea Pro Podcast, John is joined by Alannah Hill to discuss President Lee Jae Myung's nomination of retired General Kang Shin-chul as South Korea's next defense minister. They examine Kang's experience managing the U.S.-ROK alliance, his support for the government's military academy reforms and OPCON transfer, as well as the scrutiny he is likely to face over the military's failed response to North Korean drone incursions in 2022. They then turn to controversy over Basic Income Party lawmaker Yong Hye-in's nomination as gender equality minister and delve into the legal gray area, political conventions surrounding lawmakers serving in the Cabinet and why critics on both the right and left have objected to the arrangement. The episode also looks at a proposal to extend formal school hours for South Korean first and second graders from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Supporters see the plan as a way to ease childcare pressures on working parents, while teachers argue it would shift a broader social problem onto schools without providing the extra staff, funding and curriculum changes required.  About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Managing Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, delivering deep, clear analysis of South Korean politics, diplomacy, security, society and technology for professionals who need more than headlines.

On this week's episode of the Korea Pro Podcast, John and Joon Ha discuss South Korea's troubled push to build up its drone capabilities after two low-cost loitering munition prototypes crashed within seconds during a Navy demonstration for journalists. They examine what the failed test says about procurement, coordination between defense agencies and the difficulty of developing an indigenous drone industry that can compete on both price and scale. They then turn to mounting scrutiny of South Korea's police ahead of major prosecutorial reforms set to take effect on Oct. 2. Recent cases involving mishandled murder and missing-person investigations have raised fresh questions about whether the police are prepared to assume greater investigative authority, and whether the government is building adequate checks and balances into the new system. The episode also looks at controversy surrounding the Gwangju Biennale after organizers initially stopped referring to a planned Taiwan Pavilion by that name following reported complaints from the “Chinese side.” They discuss what the episode reveals about self-censorship, China's influence and the tension between Gwangju's democratic symbolism and the foundation's handling of the dispute.

On this week's episode of the Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha discuss President Donald Trump's surprise decision to substantially reduce the Ulchi Freedom Shield military exercise, forcing South Korea and the U.S. to cut the drills from 11 days to five after preparations were already underway. They break down what the abrupt change means for alliance readiness and plans to transfer wartime operational control to Seoul, including how reduced training could disrupt assessments of South Korea's ability to lead future combined operations and complicate the allies' broader defense timeline. The episode also looks at Trump's reasoning for the move, from his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to his criticism of South Korea over the war in Iran, as well as President Lee Jae Myung's effort to frame the reduced drills as an opportunity to lower tensions and reopen diplomacy with Pyongyang.

This week, Jeongmin and John discuss South Korea's latest employment figures, which show the overall employment rate reaching 70.3% even as young Koreans lost another 191,000 jobs. They examine how growth in health and social welfare jobs is masking continued weakness in sectors such as manufacturing and construction. The team also looks at a Democratic Party lawmaker's proposal to convert decommissioned buses into housing for young people, why the idea quickly drew ridicule and criticism and what the controversy says about the country's broader housing challenges. Later, they discuss the backlash facing actress Ahn Ha Young after internet users discovered that her great-great-grandfather was a pro-Japanese collaborator, raising questions about inherited privilege and whether people should be expected to apologize for the actions of distant ancestors. The episode also examines a proposed law targeting AI-generated sexually explicit material, including content depicting entirely fictional people. Jeongmin and John break down the difficulty of defining victims, the proposed criminal penalties for creating or possessing such material and the broader legal and ethical questions surrounding AI-generated content.

This week, Jeongmin and John discuss proposals to overhaul South Korea's college entrance exam by replacing more multiple-choice questions with written responses and potentially using artificial intelligence to grade them.  The team also looks at South Korea's deadly heat wave, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in some regions and thousands seeking treatment for heat-related illnesses. Later, they discuss controversy over the National Assembly speaker's suggestion that public opinion could determine whether a constitutional amendment might allow President Lee Jae Myung to seek another term, despite constitutional language barring such changes from benefiting the incumbent.  The episode also covers a student group's protest at Osan Air Base over U.S. concerns about plans for a data center at Gwangju Air Base — roughly 200 kilometers away.

On this week's episode of the Korea Pro Podcast, John and Joon Ha discuss President Lee Jae Myung's new economic growth strategy for the second half of 2026, including his push for the state to play a much more active role as an investor in South Korea's future industries. They also break down the Bank of Korea's decision to raise the base rate to 2.75%, as inflation, rising energy prices, household debt and a weak won continue to create financial stability concerns. The episode then turns to the Lee administration's proposal to merge South Korea's three main military academies into a single institution, a plan the government says would improve jointness and modernize officer education.  John and Joon Ha also revisit South Korea's defense export ambitions after Hanwha Ocean's loss in Canada's submarine procurement competition, looking at how Seoul is shifting attention to Southeast Asian markets such as Thailand and the Philippines as it seeks to become one of the world's top arms exporters.

Markets are at all-time highs, but beneath the surface, something important is changing.   In the first episode of At the Desk, Ben and Phil break down the major rotation taking place across markets as capital moves away from some of the most crowded AI, semiconductor and speculative trades and into financials, industrials, healthcare and consumer staples.   They also discuss the collapse in crypto momentum, the Federal Reserve's changing stance on inflation and interest rates, falling oil prices, and what the latest manufacturing and services data tells us about the strength of the US economy.   The conversation then turns to earnings from Nvidia, Broadcom and Micron, explaining why even exceptional results may not be enough when expectations are already extremely high.   Finally, Ben and Phil explore the risks behind the AI data-centre boom, including hyperscaler capital expenditure, falling token prices, profitability concerns, share dilution and the dangers of holding several stocks that are all exposed to the same underlying theme.   ⏱️ Timestamps 01:04 Sector Rotation 06:18 Federal Reserve, Inflation and Oil 11:35 Earnings 15:25 ISM Manufacturing & Services PMI 27:00 Portfolio Diversification 32:55 Hyperscalers CapEx Cycle

On this week's episode of the Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin and John discuss Canada's decision to name Germany's TKMS as the preferred bidder for its submarine procurement program, dealing a major blow to South Korea's Hanwha Ocean after months of intense lobbying. The conversation then turns to President Lee Jae Myung's push for a “ROK-NATO Partnership 2.0,” including Seoul's effort to move beyond one-off defense sales and present itself as a partner in joint production, planning and investment with Europe.  They also look at Lee's $100 million Ukraine pledge and whether Seoul can convince NATO partners that it is committed to long-term security cooperation, especially if South Korea eventually seeks to normalize trade ties with Russia. The episode also breaks down the implementation of South Korea's revised Network Act, widely referred to as the “fake news” law. The team explains how the law targets major online platforms such as Naver, Kakao, Google, Meta, X and TikTok, and why critics worry it could create legal and financial risks for journalists, whistleblowers and smaller media outlets. About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Managing Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, delivering deep, clear analysis of South Korean politics, diplomacy, security, society and technology for professionals who need more than headlines.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Doug Curran and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, I have been researching one of the sets of photos that will be in the Barry Plummer book - Master of Images. It was labelled 'Roundhouse' but, as you will hear, that wasn't as straightforward a venue as I thought it was going to be. Once I get it all sorted out, I was delighted to discover that there is a crowd recording of the concert available over at: https://forgotten-yesterdays.com/downloads.asp?ftype=1&qsectionid=2&qdownloadid=37 After I told the story about what I found out, Mark and I compared notes on this early outing for songs from The Yes Album. It's a fascinating concert to listen to and we both spotted some great features. How many Roundhouses were there? Which one is this? How does Steve Howe fit into his new-ish band role? Please do add your own comments below. The 'other' Roundhouse at Chalk Farm: This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license. Attribution: R Sones Poster for the Dagenham Roundhouse Yes concert: Uploaded to Forgotten Yesterdays by Geoffrey Mason Here is a comment from Clive Ayer: I grew up a couple of miles away from The Roundhouse, Dagenham. I believe it is still there. A lot of major bands played there early in their careers, including Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. On the centenary of its opening, just after lockdown, The Boomtown Rats, among others, played a free celebration concert, along with a few other artists. This was held down the road in Parslows Park. It was surprisingly good. The Roundhouse itself stopped hosting gigs many years ago. As for the red and white poster for the Yes gig seen here, I did try to buy it but was outbid by an extremely determined collector. With regard to Mark's comments regarding Iron Maiden (a band local to the area), they released an EP in 1979, before they had a record deal, called The Soundhouse Tapes. I used to work with their singer's girlfriend and regularly saw them at a different local pub. She brought a stack of them into work for anyone to help themselves to, but I didn't bother as I wasn't much of a fan. It's now worth a fortune. One copy could pay for a handful of Yes Roundhouse posters! I think that's what he was thinking about when he mentioned the Roundhouse and Iron Maiden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmUH4fckxN0 Yes - The Tormato Story & Tales from Topographic Oceans - Yes Album Listening Guide Available now!

This week, the team discusses the Lee administration's $1 trillion “Three Mega Projects” blueprint, which aims to expand South Korea's semiconductor, AI data center, advanced packaging and robotics sectors while building a new industrial base in the Honam region. The conversation then turns to domestic politics, as the ruling Democratic Party secures 11 of the National Assembly's 18 standing committees after a People Power Party boycott, giving the ruling bloc control over key legislative choke points as it pushes President Lee Jae Myung's agenda. The team also looks at June's 3.2% inflation reading, the KOSPI sell-off and investor concerns over whether Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix can sustain major AI-related investments in both South Korea and the U.S. Later, they discuss Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha's visit to Seoul, including the fate of North Korean prisoners of war captured while fighting for Russia and discrepancies between Seoul and Kyiv's readouts on security cooperation. The episode also covers Han Seong-sook's appointment as prime minister, President Lee's criticism of the Korea Football Association after South Korea's World Cup exit and the risks of government intervention in football governance.

On this week's episode, John and Jeongmin discuss the latest uncertainty surrounding U.S.-Iran talks and what it means for South Korea. They also examine President Lee Jae Myung's recent diplomacy in Europe, including his interactions with U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G7 Summit and the possibility that golf could become an unlikely channel for building personal rapport between the two leaders. The conversation then turns to South Korean domestic politics, as Lee's approval ratings decline and support for the conservative People Power Party shows signs of recovery.  Finally, the discussion turns to what Micron's stronger-than-expected earnings could signal for South Korean chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, as AI demand continues to shape the KOSPI and drive market volatility.  About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Managing Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, delivering deep, clear analysis of South Korean politics, diplomacy, security, society and technology for professionals who need more than headlines.

This week, Jeongmin and John discuss the reported U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement and what it could mean for South Korea, including the prospects for renewed trade with Iran, the future of maritime security operations around the Strait of Hormuz and whether Seoul may still be called upon to contribute military assets despite a pause in hostilities.

They explore how controversy surrounding ballot shortages, criticism of the National Election Commission and shifting attitudes among younger voters may be contributing to changing political dynamics in South Korea.

Returning to the Dear Katie Podcast, Dr. Winnie Li shares more insights on activism, advocacy, and healing.  Dr. Winnie M Li is an author, activist, and educator. A former filmmaker, Winnie's life and career trajectory were severely disrupted at the age of 29, when she became the victim of a violent stranger rape in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Her debut novel Dark Chapter (2017) is a fictional re-imagining of that assault and its aftermath, from the perspectives of both victim and perpetrator. Her subsequent novels Complicit (2022) and What We Left Unsaid (2025) also address the legacy of trauma, in workplaces and in families.  Winnie's doctoral research at the London School of Economics explored the emotional labour of ‘public' rape survivors, and she is now an Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Birmingham in the UK.

This week, John and Joon Ha examine South Korea's record fines against Coupang over alleged personal data protection violations, including what the penalties could mean for the U.S.-listed e-commerce giant, Seoul-Washington trade tensions and the broader business environment for foreign companies operating in Korea. They also discuss the fallout from ballot shortages during the June 3 local elections and the growing protests targeting the National Election Commission, looking at how conservatives, university students and election fraud activists have converged around demands for greater accountability from the constitutional body. The conversation then turns to President Lee Jae Myung's summit with European Union leaders in Brussels, breaking down the significance of new agreements on trade, technology and security cooperation, as well as ongoing points of friction over defense procurement and steel exports. Finally, the Korea Pro team looks at President Lee's nomination of former Naver CEO Han Sung-sook as prime minister, what her selection signals about the administration's focus on artificial intelligence and economic growth, and the emerging battle for leadership of the Democratic Party ahead of its August convention.

In a quiet Norfolk village, in the early 1990s, a seventeenth-century farmhouse became the setting for one of the most controversial paranormal investigations ever conducted. In the cellar of Street Farmhouse in Scole, a small group known as the Scole Experimental Group claimed they weren't just contacting spirits — they were working with them. Over five years, under strict controls, they reported blue lights with apparent intelligence, physical phenomena, voices broadcast through powerless devices, and even photographic images appearing on sealed film, all allegedly guided by a collective of discarnate scientists calling themselves “The Team of Many Minds.” This episode kicks off a three-part deep dive into the Scole Experiment, beginning with the Norfolk Protocol and the impossible technology said to be designed from beyond the grave.BibliographyBooks & Reports Foy, Robin P.
