February 22, 2022 Ladies and Gentlemen... The Weekend :)
AAAAANNNDDDDD we're back... sorta kinda. We're back today and that's what matters :) We have a special guest (my friend Kelly) to discuss an incredibly important topic (women). Has Taeyeon's sound changed this time around? (Yes) Can anything top this INVU? (it's early but uh... so far...) Is INVU her best work yet? (it is) There's also a lil bit of Apink talk as well as some other music by women. In fact, Kelly and Jooyoung are the only men who speak this entire episode. (you can't hear the bigbang track that well i think...)
And you should listen to Kelly's podcast, This is Why I'm Gay! (https://open.spotify.com/show/5WpN5SWm1Mr8lT6mMn6ipy?si=dd6f3bbf0be54b24)

January 21, 2021 2012 Will be My Year :)
Aw... welcome to season 3 of the show yall...
This time we talk closing out 2020, SMTown's charity/not charity concert, some releases from the first 5 seconds of 2021 and what we think will come of this already "tew much" year.
Also to note! It wasn't so much Epik High that was hesitant to work with BI but BI himself apparently made a point to say that him featuring would be a risky move.

November 20, 2020 Blackness Series: Kpop Really Kinda Destroying My People Tho...
Oooooh shit, hey didn't see you there. Snuck up on me. Huh, what do you mean we've been gone for months?
Today's episode is, obviously, the first in a while. Been a busy year but Kpop works a bit harder than us all apparently so we've been behind amongst other things like getting our lives together and trying not to catch a debilitating airborne illness. But somehow in the midst of this... we've been able to muster up enough strength to FINALLY start our series on Blackness and Kpop. (Or really just Morgan flying solo here lmfao.) This episode is dedicated to Black fans. We'll talk about doxxing, cultural appropriation, Black Lives Matter, whatever happened to kmusicandblackwomen and why the fuck antiBlackness is so normalized in pop culture. Super lighthearted episode... yeah.
Don't forget! We have our phone lines OPEN throughout the duration of this series for y'all to call in to talk to us. Our next episode in this series will revolve around Black music and the sound of Kpop! Call us anonymously at (862)438-5353!

August 06, 2020 Trauma: Look at Me, Wait Don't Look at Me. Ok, Now Look at Me
Some y'all be like "Pick me! Pick me! Pick me UP! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me UP!" and don't even know it... It's been a while, as usual. Just think of us as a solar eclipse. Depending where you are in the world, not everybody is going to see us. Make sure not to look directly at us if you do see us tho.
This episode is the third part to our Trauma Series! We discuss the spectacle of the training process, "hardship" as a concept, and how baring witness to growing pains doesn't necessarily guarantee safety, security and money (which... like most regular people... most of these kids are looking for)for the ones trying their hardest. When is someone prepared enough for the whirlwind of connections and luck that industrialized art runs on!? 🤔
I'm convinced this episode would be a solid 4 hours long if we talked about No Mercy, Finding Momoland, The Unit, Dance or Band, Boys24, MIXNINE, YG Treasure Box... Even though there are a slew of underrepresented and disbanded groups we stick to mostly Produce but trust, we touch on a couple of other ones too. Shoutout After School... shoutout Pristin... shoutout Fromis_9... shoutout Gugudan... shoutout Weki Meki... shoutout DIA... shoutout WJSN...
Also the lovely professor referenced is Suk-Young Kim, head of Theater and Performance Studies at UCLA. She's also @DrAjumma on Twitter.

July 20, 2020 KPC Live at #KPSNPODCASTFEST 2020
Yay!! Back with a cute, reasonably-timed episode for y'all. This episode, recorded live during Kpop Social Night's Podcast Fest, we speak on Taemin's birthday notes, the steep spiral of iKON, the uptick in female recording artists' rights, and pop in Seventeen just because. Definitely more of a kiki...
Special thanks to all who attended and to everyone who organized at KPSN and MACG Productions! We'll try to get into live shows more because this was great! That being said, this is our first recorded live show so there are tech difficulties and points where the audio is a bit low. Bare with us! 🥺

June 26, 2020 MF DO NOT BE HATING WHITE SUPREMACY ENOUGH FOR ME
BEFORE YOU BUY ANY KPOP ANYTHING, DONATE TO YOUR LOCAL BAIL/MUTUAL AID FUND AND CASHAPP A BLACK TRANS PERSON IMMEDIATELY. We'll even help you get started: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd
KPOP, you are not getting a single cent from me EVER again! However, I do plan on uplifting the SeulRene cb coming out July 6th...
Alternatively if you see us at a Shinee concert look the other way please..... Seventeen? You will be dealt with.
She’s coming in late but she’s coming in hot. It's been a month... of just utterly... unbearable... antiblack-genocide popping off at an ACCELERATED rate. Sorry we haven't put out an episode, but we've been incredibly angry and actively fighting with our government.......... This episode, we discuss the moral obligation of celebrities and idols along with the moral compass their fans may or may not have. Whether NCT or SM likes it or not, Punch is now one of the many songs of the revolution.
