In episode 48, Jay speaks with Joe McPherson, the person behind Zen Kimchi Experiences, a rapidly growing tour operator in South Korea and whom is known to be somewhat of a food expert, but also podcaster and generally a man of many talents. 

In this hour-long chat with Joe McPherson we learn about food tours, 'dark tours', his time running restaurants, podcasting, time in televsion, encounters with Anthony Bourdain and Bernie Sanders, Thai food and of course Korean food, South and North! 

This interview has been in the works for some time and covers so much ground, and sowe hope you enjoy it!
