This interview podcast kicks off what will be a regular segment in which Darcy Paquet, who is a veritable fountain of knowledge about Korean cinema, will give fellow Metropolitickers the downlow on everything Korean and cinematic! Darcy has run KoreanFilm.org since the late 1990's, and this site, as well its creator, has been riding the crest of the Korean wave ever since!
This podcast keeps my intro commentary mercifully brief (at around 4 minutes), giving more time to Darcy's fascinating commentary and insights into Korean cinema. Our conversation in a coffee shop is punctuated by the unexpected shrill announcements of completed coffee orders, unfortunately. When we scouted out the spot, which was right next to a wall socket and in a semi-outdoor garden patio enclosure, it had seemed the perfect spot. The first announcement took place right in the middle of our conversation. But if you have a positive outlook, just think of this as a mini-soundscape and interview all in one! But seriously, I apologize for the occasional interruptions, if they do annoy.
