Description: Presented by the news media Oh My News, famous book writers like Seok-young Hwang, Jeong-rae Cho, Ji-young Gong, and Biya Han meet with their fans.

The camera is aimed at the stage where a writer is sitting down in front of the audience. Sometimes only the author is facing the audience, or sometimes the author is asked questions by a host. The brief profile of the writer appears on the screen after the speakers start a conversation.

The author of the book explains the reason why they wrote, how they felt about the topic, and they share interesting anecdotes. After talking about the book, the audience asks  questions to the author.

The atmosphere is very calm and comfortable so that the Korean speaking speed is slow. The accent varies depending on the writers, some who have thicker accents than others.

Summary: A great podcast to learn about your favourite Korean authors as well as their works.
