  • AfterNoona ARMY Podcast Excels!

    I’m a comparatively new ARMY, less than 1 year. I’ve been listening the various BTS-centered podcasts including AfterNoona Army. This pod is fun, funny, thoughtful, but the last 2: Episodes: Aug. 28 & Sept. 6, 2023, have sealed the deal for me.

    Hosts Becky & Lia speak out about decisions V & RM have made which seem in dissonance with the parasocial relationship with ARMY they have worked so hard to build.

  • Brings me so much joy!

    Thank you for this podcast! I’m a fairly new BTS, k-pop, and k-drama fan, and absolutely enjoy your deeply appreciative conversations about BTS, their music, and their other activities like art and fashion.

    Thanks, too, for the tips on where to find them beyond Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube.

  • My people!

    I knew I wasn’t alone in this rabbit hole! So glad to find this podcast of women my age who share this lovely obsession. Eager to move over and enjoy your K-Drama podcast as well (my other obsession). (I’m in the Over 50 Army category but defy your “nobody over 50 has a JK bias” claim. Solid JK bias, Taehyung bias wrecker, with a side of Suga.)
