Our lectures were being videoed and posted, not sure why it stopped, not sure when it'll resume... OK James, thanks for the enthusiasm, i’ll check it out!

Please let me know. Pixel, also a good idea, it's surprising that more organisations don't do it. The Korea Society in New York for instance, has excellent podcasts, but no-one there has ever seemed inclined to make videos, even though it could be done quite easily with standard digital cameras and an extra memory card? http://www.koreasociety.org/external/podcast.html Sanshinseon, great, I would be VERY interested!

Perhaps taping the lectures and posting them on the site in streaming video (if bandwidth is an issue, break it into smaller segments and put it on Youtube for free). +1 for access for people outside of Seoul!

Don't know if there is any ancient history behind this idea, if it's ever been tried before. But if you're interested in putting energy into creating a branch i can certainly bring it up to the other RAS Council members, see what they say. Financing of any efforts down there would surely be the key problem... You would probably need a donor or sponsor in order to get things going. I'll bring it up at the next meeting and get back to you!

I'm sure there'd be enough interest and support, and if not then I could drum it up myself if necessary. For those of us not in Seoul, it's really quite frustrating reading about what's available there! I was just wondering, does anyone know if the RAS is ever going to set up a branch in Busan?
