Recommended for all!

Really loved this podcast so far. As a kpop fan, a history major, and a lover of pop culture in general this is such a great blend. There are so many intersections that this podcast brings up that I never thought of. It is also interesting to look back 2 years later from a objective lens! Will continue to listen!
