  • Hobi is Home! J-Hope finished is military service and Tonya, Alison, Megan, and Lia are ready to celebrate. And if having Hoba back isn't blessings enough--Jin is releasing his first album "Happy." The wait has been long (none of the members' enlistments are flying by) but our patience is is paying off.

  • We welcome special guests, Mimi Nguyen and Yutian Wong, who were editors for Bangtan Remixed: A Critical BTS Reader published recently by Duke University Press.

This collection brings together diverse voices—from academics and journalists to artists and devoted fans—to examine the group's far-reaching cultural impact. Through a series of essays, contributors dissect BTS's place in the broader context of global capitalism, soft power, and transnational cultural exchange.

  • In this episode, we unpack our reactions to the evolving story about Suga's scooter incident as it stood on the day of recording, August 13, 2024. We discuss the media frenzy we see online versus the relatively bland media response in the mainstream U.S. press. We also share the emotions we are experiencing as devoted fans and try to offer some comfort to our fellow ARMYs. The episode ends on a lighter note as we just begin to touch upon the joy that is Jimin and Junkook's delightful new travel show, Are You Sure?

  • At the beginning of December, Popcast, a NYT music podcast featuring host Jon Caramanica (NYT music critic) and special guest Kara, positioned themselves as the "grown ups" in the room up against gremlin Stans to discuss how uh... (checks notes) Butter and Golden are a sign of a great decline.

    This was a click bait power grab...so right back at ya! Alison, Lia and Megan are here to say "if you're going to go for clicks don't be lazy, don't be boring, don't be smug, and don't cherry pick your hot take data."

    And don't listen to the Popcast episode unless you used to LOVE dating wannabe gatekeepers that would show you their extensive bootleg cassette collections and talk about how they loved a band back when...(sorry this triggered Lia's PTSD of hooking up with dudes that wanted to lecture her on Phish when she DID NOT CARE). Or unless you want to hear people dunk on Trolls 3 or Steve Aoki because that makes them super edgy. Or want to hear how TXT are the uh (checks notes) disappointing Big Hit baby brothers.

    Do listen to us though. Because we aren't any of those things.

  • Happy Halloween! Your intrepid hosts (Alison, Tonya, Megan and Lia) decided to brave the wilds of fan fic and see what lurks in the woods. We read fic with shapeshifters, a walk through the omegaverse, alternate universes and grim reapers. No shaming, just exploring where fantasy and fandom can lead...with a side detour to get thinky over implications of AI. Please be warned there is talk of shipping and puppy play...and Lia lets you know exactly what goes down in Omegaverse. But please don't take it too seriously. This is strictly for fun. Meow.

    PS: We also aren't here for shaming fan fic. No literary snobs allowed.
