Special Feature: How a K-Pop took over the Billboard Charts

Everyone has a dream.&nbsp;
But sometimes there&rsquo;s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad.
In each episode, the Snooze Squad will strategize an action plan for people to face their fears. Guests will transform their own perception of their potential and walk away a few inches closer to who they want to become.&nbsp;
Snooze is a show about things people put off, how they conquer them, but most importantly, how they conquer themselves.
This new podcast from LAist Studios will inspire you to ask yourself what you have been pressing snooze on, and inspire you to become the protagonist of your own life.&nbsp;
Support for this podcast is made possible by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live.
