    Plus, we answer listener questions and weigh up your suggestions for future countries to cover.

  • CTDEA TV Club: Hwarang - The Poet Warrior Youth
    Jul 17 2025

    We watch and discuss the first few episodes of Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth. Packed with South Korean models and popstars, Hwarang tells the story of the formation of the aristocratic youth group designed to reinforce the power of the crown. (Only hotties need apply). If you want Twilight but set in 500s Silla with a schizophrenic hip hop, classical, incidental music soundtrack, this is the show for you!

    We met up with comedian and CTDEA alumnus Mike Shephard at a pub in Forest Hill, South London - the place where Bertie Sheldrake was offered the crown of Islamestan. What were Bertie's motivations? Why would anyone want to be a king? And what happened to Europe's leftover royalty? Join us for an enjoyable pint-fuelled ramble.
