'Hwamōk and Steel,' the podcast where the kimchi is spicy, but the diplomatic takes are even spicier. I'm your host, ETHAN PARK, broadcasting straight from the province of Gangwon-do (the only province that runs from North to South Korea), ready to stir the pot of peace and reunification talks on the Korean Peninsula.
We’ll be slicing through the thick fog of international politics with the sharpness of a freshly honed samgak kimbap knife. We'll explore the labyrinth of diplomacy, where sometimes the only thing thicker than the tension is the plot of a K-drama.
Makes perfect sense if you’re merely a professing Christian without any Biblical literacy or reverence.

Uncle Sam's No-Fly Zone and The Irony of Liberty: The North Korean Travel Ban
In this episode, we explore how this travel ban, stretching from the Trump administration, now renewed and supported by Biden's administration, serves up a human rights smoothie of restricted movement and religious infringement. It's a comedy of bipartisan agreement in a political landscape where common ground is as rare as a unicorn sighting.

Jennie Joy & Peacemaking Efforts On The Korean Peninsula
In this episode Jennie Joy (long time peace advocate for the Korean Peninsula) and I discuss some of our experiences in North Korea with real North Koreans, current challenges our own country of the United States impose on us who are engaged in peacemaking efforts, and Congressman Brad Sherman's bill he re-introduced to formally end the war the United States has forgotten about, the Korean War.

TGIF: 6-24-2022 Roe -v- Wade Overturned. A Christian's Response
Nearly 50 years living with federal protections on abortion has certainly impacted and influenced our country. It has been a facet of our society for five decades. Now that it is overturned, what’s next? How might the Christian church respond? What is our commission here as Christians to this decision being returned to the States?

Not a comprehensive exegesis on the current cultural happenings by any means, but rather a minor synopsis maybe and petition to the Christian church to get intentional.

#0009 Steve Hilton Candidate For Gibson County Mayor
Had an informative sit down with Steve Hilton who is running to be next Gibson County Mayor here in West Tennessee. We discussed a range of topics from the Blue Oval City that car manufacturer Ford is constructing close to our area (both Ford's and the state's largest development in their histories) to the BLM and MeToo movements to our state and federal governments identifying what businesses were and weren't essential as Covid hit our country. Get a better idea of who Steve Hilton is here and thanks for listening in.

#0008 Marc Murdaugh, Assistant Attorney General of State of Tennessee, Running To Be Chancellor
Marc Murdough sits down to discuss his campaign to be the next Chancellor of Gibson-Crockett-&-Haywood Counties in West Tennessee at the cafe, The Coffee Shop, in downtown Humboldt, TN. It gets a little loud in the background with the steaming espresso machine and crowds of people, but that just adds to the ambiance and is the sound of business I like to hear, especially coming out of a government imposed small business customer lockout/lockdown debacle in my opinion. (More on this topic at a later time, I digress.)
Murdaugh and I briefly touch on the roles of a Chancellor and the ramifications of divorce, drugs, non-violent crimes, privately run prisons in West Tennessee, and more.

#0005 Bob Moore: Running For Gibson County Mayor Tennessee
Bob Moore sits down to introduce himself as he campaigns to become the next county mayor of Gibson county Tennessee at Guy & Tammy Causey's cafe, The Coffee Shop, in downtown Humboldt, TN. We have a pretty chill conversation about a broad range of topics from education, infrastructure, immigration and refugees in Gibson County, Covid mandates, Federal government overreach, the local hospital system, civil servants wages, and more!
So get that favorite drink ready, sit back and enjoy.

Gardening, Politics, & Cultural Responsibility
Being so far detached from our food process has made our culture ignorant in many ways. Too many degrees of separation between us and the things in our lives has resulted in laziness, complacency, and apathy towards everything and everyone. How can we correct our course?

9/11 Look Back, Afghanistan Withdrawal & Such
9/11/2001 shook the world. 2 decades after the terrorists attacks involving the Twin Towers in New York City, The Pentagon, and Flight 93 we still see Afghanistan in the headlines. Hear from 3 individuals who were in very different places 9-11-2001. One was in Bangkok, Thailand, another was actually not far at all from ground zero, and another while very young at the time has been no doubt influenced by this day of horror 20 years ago.
There's a whole lot that could be said that could go on for many hours, but this instead of being a political diatribe this is rather a memorial to those who were killed that day as well as to those who have protected us from other terrorists attacks since then. Hopefully we can continue to learn from it, and hopefully we can find a way to help Afghans left behind in the hands of now highly armed fundamentalists.
