“I've been listening to DaebakCast since the first episode, and I think these guys really deserve a lot more exposure than they've been getting. They do album reviews, latest releases reviews, special topics related to K-Pop. The three hosts feel like college buddies you can sit down and talk K-Pop with, and they cover a pretty wide range, including K-Indie music, which many K-Pop podcasts/Youtube channels don't. The bantering is fun and they're nice guys even when they are being opinionated. They are also such big fanboys and love K-Pop so much that it's infectious (as opposed to some podcasts that can feel like the hosts are jaded). If you are the kind of K-Pop fan who is constantly in a state of bliss due to new releases blowing you away and are dying to share that bliss with others, then this is the perfect podcast for you, because these guys genuinely love the songs and discuss why they love each of the newly released songs and albums, getting into the melody, arrangement, production, vocals, the MV, group dynamics, etc.
For the most part they keep it on-topic, and when they veer into non-K-Pop topics it's usually short (such as sports, gaming, and what not). I used to write them and bug them about putting timestamps in the podcast description so listeners can skip to the topics they are interested in, and they've gotten a lot better at that. I've also written to them a couple of times with advice on how to make the audio quality better (using compression and limiting audio effects to even out the volume of the three hosts, so it's easier to listen to, instead of one person sounding way too loud but the others too quiet), and they've improved in that area too.
Overall, this is one of the must-listen K-Pop podcasts for me, and I almost never skip episodes (unless the entire episode is about a topic I just have no interest in--for example, I'm into girl groups/soloists, and listen to very little male K-Pop, so if they do an entire episode on a boy group I don't listen to, I would skip the episode).”Read full review »

“I’m a much more critical music consumer so my ratings basically never match up with theirs. I don’t mind though, since they’re such girl group stans, I’d rather they love everything than have to hear another lie about how ALL girl groups (ew gross) are the same.
I appreciate that they really...”Read full review »
