Description: A doctor of philosophy and a famous author talk about current and historical issues. The hosts air the topics that people could not talk about it on TV or newspapers when the issue happened. Sometime they invite a guest to discuss the issue or conduct an interview with a person who is in the middle of the situation under discussion. Despite the serious heavy contents that they cover, the atmosphere is pretty upbeat and at times comical. Each episode will contain the latest news of the day and the week and the main topic.

The hosts talk very fast. Dr. Lee speaks with a standard Korean accent, and writer Lee speaks with a southeastern accent, which people from Pusan or the region use. The hosts are down-to-earth and their conversation is almost like friends talking to each other with some beer. The Korean dialogue includes much slang and explicit expressions.

Summary: Very popular Korean podcast on current issues with critical commentary.
