In episode 45, Jay speaks with Anna Bondarenko, the owner of Naughty Muse Studios, a design studio and art café in Busan, South Korea. 

In this hour-long chat with Anna Bondarenko, we find out not only what it’s like being an art space owner in Busan, and indeed about the artist community in that city, but also about Anna's life, her fondness for Korean culture, how she ended up in Busan and what it’s like living as a foreigner in that seaside city of Busan.  

It was actually Jay who approached Anna about conducting this interview, after seeing all the good she is doing in Busan - both locally in the Songjeong area of the Haeundae District & with other artistic indivuals across the city - and I was delighted when she agreed to sit down for a chat.
