"The Seoul Podcast is brought to you by..."

After 100 shows, the Seoul Podcast continues rolling, talking about everything from experiences with unusual alcohol to life in Korea to technical malfunctions. This one being the first show in front of a live audience presented its own challenges, but was the best way to celebrate a milestone worth celebrating. Roofers in Itaewon served well as the event site, and a burger / beer set for 10,000 gave people enough energy to heckle cheer the cast on.

A number of other well-known people within the expat community were present - Luke Wilson from the popular ROKetship comic strip, Charles Montgomery from KTlit.com, Steve Revere from 10 Magazine, the ever-attractive Jennifer from FatManSeoul, and Michael Hurt as the Metropolitician himself. Let's not forget about the core trio that form the SeoulPodcast, either.

A few trivia questions tested the audience's knowledge of the podcast itself along with some that brought up a few inside jokes for Korean expats. The prizes ranged in silliness (don't ask me what he won), but kept the crowd relatively entertained.

Chris Wright from Hardtack 'n' Gruel played a few original songs as well, though honestly I was too busy hanging out with the crowd to get any pictures. Sorry, Chris - some great music though.

While I don't know what the future holds for this trio, I sincerely hope another live show is part of their plans. Their energy and momentum seemed higher than during most shows - it's definitely harder to slip into a bit complacency when creating a show the same way so many times.

Here's to another 100, SeoulPodcast.
