We will soon be launching the Casey and Yeon Mi Show. Too much to say so I will say it a bit later, too many to thank, so I will thank them all later.
Special thanks to
My co-host Yeon Mi Park for agreeing to join me, even though English is not her first language.
김정호 who suggested the idea of me hosting an online show and then didn't complain as I completely changed the format, focus and found a co-host he had never met.
정규재 for agreeing to allow us to host the show on his channel
Producer Kim Hyung Jin for his guidance.
We had been expecting that our producer would give us some tips. After we got settled he said, "Go!" in Korean. And thus our podcast started.
I pretended not to notice that Yeonmi was with me, she asked, "Am I invisible? But as I told her: She would be internationally known one day, I just hoped that she would remember my name. And she has!
I wrote about it here a month later: The Casey Lartigue Show with YeonMi Park! (koreatimes.co.kr)
Yes, Yeonmi was my sidekick, but I knew that wouldn't last for long.
Prof. Kim Chung-ho! For more than a year, he had encouraged me to have a YouTube channel or to do a podcast, but I avoided it. But after I told Yeonmi I was sure she would go international, I told Prof. Kim that I had found a co-host.
Honestly, we weren't that good at first. We had decided just two weeks before to start the podcast. We were going to wait a bit for recording, but she got invited abroad for an interview and I changed all of my plans to go to the USA to attend the funeral of my grandmother. So we pushed everything ahead. The producer said "Go!" and we did, until Yeonmi was on the international stage before the end of the year.
