It’s a six-month milestone, and Episode 26 of Peeling Potatoes arrives hotter than a Seoul street snack. Fruitloop checks in from Johannesburg while The Mayor beams in from Seoul—ready to peel back another layer of curiosity, culture, and chaos.
This time, the spotlight swings to Frank, reporting live from Seoul, where the city’s neon glow meets centuries of tradition. Between a grueling 14-kilometer mountain hike that exposed the truth about his fitness level and an unexpectedly serene Korean tea ceremony that pressed pause on the whole universe, Frank discovers a Seoul only locals usually see. K-pop beats on the streets, quiet sips with dignified halmeonis, and tech solutions so futuristic they make Europe feel analog—nothing goes unnoticed by this self-proclaimed eternal student.
As Fruitloop fires off quirky, imaginative questions and The Mayor steers the conversation with his signature charm, Frank reflects on the contrasts between efficiency and over-regulation, calm and chaos, tradition and tomorrow. His journey becomes a mirror—inviting listeners to rethink how they move through the world and what “normal” even means.
If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to step inside a city you’ve only met through screens, or if you love cultural mashups, misadventures, and mind-expanding conversations—you cannot skip this one. Episode 26 is the slice of Seoul you didn’t know you needed.
