In this episode, Ian and Danny are astounded by weird science in football, bemused by people who study for years to hand people forms and scared by the possibility that North and South Korea could soon be playing Rock, Paper, Scissors in the DMZ.

In this episode (which dare not speak its number), Danny and Ian get concerned and confused about South Korea’s attempts to market itself to tourists - our Twitter feed (@thehanshake) has a link to the campaign which intrigues us most. And why Korean men are starting to have more in common with Korean women.

In Episode 3 of The Hanshake, we discuss the ‘tarting up’ of sports shows in South Korea and the country’s obsession with climbing hills and mountains. Ian also has a million things to add to the stories covered in Episode 2. Tweet us @thehanshake or email thehanshake@hotmail.com.

Adult themes. There, I’ve said it. In this episode of The Hanshake, we take a look at South Korean life and see more than we bargained for, due to an alarming absence of curtains.

The Hanshake #1

The Hanshake - a cultural exchange at an unfavourable exchange rate. In Episode 1 of this podcast ‘about’ Korea, we examine science, education, alcohol, relationships, eyebrows, Psy, Rick Astley and Ralph Milne. It really is weighty stuff.
