    It's our first ever Patreon Patron chosen deep dive! And the patrons wanted to learn all about AOA! We're talking all about one of the last ultra sexy girl groups loved by soldiers and netizens alike. Start with an explanation of a 'transformer' concept that didn't last too long, meet all the members, hear all of their incredible songs, and look at a whole lot of butts. This story does not end very nicely, but it's a fun ride getting there.

  • Ep. 258: KCON LA 2023
    It's the most Kpop-y tiiiiime of the year! We have pulled our ravaged bodies and broken brains together just long enough to tell y'all all about our experience at this year's KCON LA! Hear all about what we did day by day, including Alikes we met, idols we saw, day drinking we did, and lines we refused to stand in. We've even got just a few man on the street interviews of attendees we were brave enough to accost, and audio from an incredible panel with Kevin Woo from U-KISS and Min from Miss A! Stay tuned for a separate episode about the THREE concerts we went to over the weekend. If you'll excuse us, we need to go sleep for a week.
