“Thanks for the coverage of Guru Jagat and the fake yoga lineage started by Bhajan. My question to you is, why would you drink yogi tea whilst talking about how messed up the yoga is? Please don’t support any of the companies associated with this-eg., Yogi tea, ICE, 3ho, Sikh dharma international...”Read full review »

“I am a small-time fan (in recent years) of some K-Pop, and I found this podcast fascinating. I love to learn about culture and society, in the US and beyond. I especially love the most recent Bonus episode #3 that delves into some uncomfortable but important discussions of race, culture and...”Read full review »

“Highly recommend this Kpop Dreaming season. Even if you’re not a Kpop lover, it’s so interesting to see how events and cultures shape music and how music then reshapes history and people. Vivian does a fantastic job telling us the stories from big picture to her own personal experiences. Thank...”Read full review »

“I’m 35 years old and started listening to kpop in 1996 with H.O.T’s “Candy”. I was obsessed. I was the only Korean-American girl in my entire school and barely had any Korean friends. My parents emigrated when they were kids (my mom came when she was 6, my dad when he was 16), so I didn’t have...”Read full review »

“It gets really good starting in episode 3. This is journalism at its best! You learn about history and communities via the lens of pop culture. I love the Korean American perspective in this. You hear a lot about Korean and America but not much about the Korean American experience.”

“Finally, there’s a podcast devoted to the origins of k-pop as well as related Korean genres like trot! I love how the host weaves together her personal experiences and broader Korean history with audio snippets of songs and people to bring the podcast to life.

“Loving the K-Pop season! Such emotive and vibrant story-telling that feels deeply-rooted in the best parts LA's culture and history. A great show for anyone who wants to learn about k-pop, feel nostalgic about the 90's, or walk a mile in someone else's shoes~”Read full review »

“Change happens in every city. Many good changes have happened in LA but you would never know it from this podcast. Also let’s stop pretending writing your initials with spray paint is art. It’s not. It’s just uncool and trashy. Good storytelling and production quality though.”

“I so wanted to get into this podcast but twice trying to listen to it I was turned off by the endless in and out between commentary and music and snail pacing. It felt like a never ending intro. Couldn’t manage to stick with it so I moved on. Hopefully good for others.”

“There is LOTS of content out there but not a lot of good content. If you are burning through first episodes in search of something meaningful & thoughtful and not inciting, give this a spin. It drips with composure and will not play the cheap note of grievance.”
