The World Cup Memories Episode!

The World Cup Memories Episode!

Michael and Dom are ready for the FIFA World Cup to begin! We head down memory lane to talk about our first memories of watching the World Cup and how it feels to be multiethnic fans with two nations to root for. The conversation flows into reliving our best World Cup moments (including a 2014 victory for Germany that Dom remembers) and a preview of all 3 of our nations at this upcoming World Cup. We're very excited to experience this World Cup, and we hope you enjoy this special episode!

The BTS and Park Chanwook Special!

Michael and Dom are back to break down the big Arirang release! BTS's comeback is making waves around the world and Dom and Michael pick out their favorite tracks, favorite members, and discuss the cultural impact of the album. Because of BTS's homage to Park Chanwook, we dive into his 2 most recent films, Decision to Leave and No Other Choice. We also give our praise to Han Kang, Korea's literary luminary, and her amazing works. Thank you so much for listening!

Talking Korean Culture with Michael and Dominic!

Michael and Dominic are back on the podcast to talk about Korean culture. We talked about KPop Demon Hunters winning at the Oscars, some of our favorite Korean films (spoiler alert: we may be developing a podcast about this!), and our favorite KPop groups. Next time on the podcast, Dominic has questions ready for Korean literature, so we'll be back in April with that episode! Thanks for listening to the podcast and supporting Fighting Stripes.

Catching Up with Taeguk Talk's Dominic

On this episode of the Different Stripes Podcast, Michael Welch catches up with our first international guest, Dominic from the popular Taeguk Talk social account [https://www.instagram.com/taeguktalk/]. They talked about how it felt to grow up as a half-German, half-Korean, and how that differed from Michael's experience in the United States. Reminiscing over favorite Korean foods, discussing the origin of Fighting Stripes, or sharing excitement about seeing ourselves represented on the Korean national teams, there is so much to listen to in this conversation. Dom and Michael will be back soon with more conversations. Thank you so much for listening to our podcast!
