  • Each week on Wednesdays, the co-hosts of Ask Me About Kpop (AMAK) engage with their listeners to talk about various aspects of the K-pop fan experience. They have a vast supportive audience who work together to maintain a wiki about the show, too! You'll enjoy listening to their podcast because they encourage you to "geek out" about the content and learn new things.
