Today on the show we're talking about Korea's international hosting experience and whether or not people here are excited about hosting more. Mixed feelings about, especially after two disasters we're going to talk about today. Specifically the Scout Jamboree AKA Korea's Fyre Festival Part 2 and the 2014 Incheon Asian Games AKA Fyre Festival Part 1. If you want to laugh or cringe, boy do we have the episode for you today!
