“Jaded, insular opinions and reviews. How did they choose these 2 hosts for a NYTimes podcast??”

“There has to be a critic less jaded and self-righteous than “I’m old enough to remember…” Jon Caramanica. Please find them and let them lead this podcast.”

“the show drifts into political and socio-economical debates, where the podcasters and guest draw vague conclusions and create new narratives on past events to fit their personal worldview.
It’s understandable that a podcast on pop music has less editorial oversight but it’s still harmful for a...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a long time popcast head, own merch, go to the live shows. But my commitment to a free Palestine means divesting from all which the New York Times—which has sanctioned and furthered the deaths of now 30,000 Palestinians— produces. Sadly, until the magazine issues the apologies it musts,...”Read full review »

“Been listening to this podcast since 2016 and can tell you right now that the majority of the one stars are all from BTS stans after an episode about Jung Kook’s solo career. LET ME BE CLEAR that Jung Kook IS my bias but I can at least handle critique and criticism of my fave without losing my...”Read full review »

Everyone’s entitled to have an opinion but coming from the Times is shocking. This show has had a history of questionable perspectives, but...”Read full review »

“It’s really laughable that this podcast had to bring bitter Kpop fans of YG to do a hit piece on BTS. I guess even in music, the NYT can’t find credible commentators, “journalists”, or “critics”. These people that the NYT finds to fill their company should spend more time doing their jobs and...”Read full review »

Suddenly a Korean (asian by race) act sings in English and it is a problem....”Read full review »

“I don’t think this podcast is for people who actually love music. It exemplifies the tiresome white American Gen X desire to be contrarian and to not embrace what’s popular and mainstream, which is ironic for a podcast about pop music.
The episode about Jung Kook of BTS’ solo album and BTS’...”Read full review »
