Thanks for the coverage of Guru Jagat and the fake yoga lineage started by Bhajan. My question to you is, why would you drink yogi tea whilst talking about how messed up the yoga is? Please don’t support any of the companies associated with this-eg., Yogi tea, ICE, 3ho, Sikh dharma international among others
I am a small-time fan (in recent years) of some K-Pop, and I found this podcast fascinating. I love to learn about culture and society, in the US and beyond. I especially love the most recent Bonus episode #3 that delves into some uncomfortable but important discussions of race, culture and international relations. It’s great to hear various perspectives and voices to bring a wider view of the subject. Very great work all around!
Highly recommend this Kpop Dreaming season. Even if you’re not a Kpop lover, it’s so interesting to see how events and cultures shape music and how music then reshapes history and people. Vivian does a fantastic job telling us the stories from big picture to her own personal experiences. Thank you for creating such a insightful series.
I could relate! Loved the journey this podcast took me from present to past with a full circle to the present. I laughed and cried! Recommend this podcast for all K-Pop lovers at heart.
I’m 35 years old and started listening to kpop in 1996 with H.O.T’s “Candy”. I was obsessed. I was the only Korean-American girl in my entire school and barely had any Korean friends. My parents emigrated when they were kids (my mom came when she was 6, my dad when he was 16), so I didn’t have the Korean immigrant experience which made me different from most Korean-American kids here. I felt kind of alienated, and listening to kpop made me feel closer to my heritage. Unfortunately it was somethi... more
