Replay of Our Season 1 Pachinko Episode from May 5th 2022

Life got a little busy, so no new episode this week.  BUT, here's an episode from our first year that I really enjoyed recording.  When Pachinko Season 1 came out, I jumped on a call with our pal Julia from the Asian Soup Podcast to talk about it.  Jules was the perfect co-host because her family has roots in Korea and her grandparents lived for several years in Osaka roughly around the same time period that this drama takes place!

Season 2 of Pachinko is currently airing on Apple TV+.  It is a gorgeously shot and well-acted drama based on Min Jin Lee's award-winning novel that spans 7 decades of one family's life in 20th Century Korea and Japan.  If you can, you should definitely watch it!

Special thanks to Jules for coming on the show with me!  It's hard to believe we recorded this over 2 years ago, time sure flies! Please go check out her and Roxanne's podcast @asiansouppodcast wherever you get podcasts or on YouTube!
