LA Made: The Other Moonshot - Part 2: Spring Loaded to Failure

California Love&nbsp;is a blend of memoir, pop culture analysis and oral history. The newest season,&nbsp;K-Pop Dreaming, is about the rise and history of K-pop in the United States, as told from the point-of-view of the Korean diaspora in Los Angeles. Host Vivian Yoon takes listeners on a journey from K-pop&rsquo;s origins in Korean trot music and American presence in post-war South Korea to the 1992 LA Uprising and the booming global popularity of K-pop in the present day, all juxtaposed against Yoon&rsquo;s own coming-of-age as a second generation immigrant in Los Angeles, struggling to fit in and come to terms with her own identity.
In the first season Walter Thompson-Hern&aacute;ndez was inspired by Tupac and Dr. Dre's "California Love"- a love letter and anthem for a generation. Walter invites listeners to join him in his family home, on horseback through the streets of Compton, and up into the sky to examine belonging.
