“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’ chart-topping English songs was racist and xenophobic, under the guise of claiming that their English-language songs are not “forward-thinking pop” or not keeping their “uniqueness as k-pop” or are “a business decision masquerading as a pop hit.”
BTS and Jung Kook showed that they can top the American and global pop music charts on their own terms. Why would a pop music podcast disparage that instead of praise it? Not to mention the host mocking Coldplay and disparaging Steve Aoki? I don’t get it.
If you’re not familiar with their music, I highly recommend listening to Jung Kook and BTS directly. They are in the top tier of musicians, period, as are the other members of BTS with solo projects (RM, J-Hope, Agust D/SUGA, Jin, Jimin, and V).
And K-pop groups like NewJeans, Ive, TXT, Epik High, Black Pink, and Seventeen are excellent, too.”

The discussion, on...”Read full review »

“I enjoy this show. The New York Times has some great writers and that comes through in this show. What I do not care for is their predictability. The show is about some pretentious world music release which is seldom popular in country of origin but popular in the west, romantic singer...”Read full review »
