  • Love this podcast but

    These fangirls have turned me on to countless kdramas, cdramas and jdramas (and movies). They’re very smart and thoughtful. But ladies, for the love of God, always SAY the title and where you watched in the clear right in the beginning of your hodgepodges or general seasonal overviews. I read the TRANSCRIPTS and still end up frustrated.

  • Love This Podcast and The Fan Girls

    I have been listening since 2020 and I look forward to their broadcasts. It’s like sitting in a room with friends. I usually listen in my car and catch myself agreeing or disagreeing out loud, with the occasional suggestion when they can’t think of the word they want. Keep up the good work, ladies!
