I'm an American fan of Asian pop culture and especially of East Asian pop music. I've spent 20+ years learning about this corner of pop culture and hope to be a bridge between East and West. All opinions are my own.

Show notes and other writings from the past decade-plus can be found on my website.

  • Please turn up the host’s mic

    The host and guest’s voices are never mixed consistently and the host especially is always way too soft. Really appreciate the expertise, but would appreciate it more if I could hear it.

  • Negative Reviews Are Wrong

    The negative reviewers I doubt have actually listened to what the host has to say. Kara provides the best English-language history of idols in kpop and jpop contexts that I have encountered. Just because you disagree with her opinion on BTS’s English music, does not make her a harmful individual. Please grow up and learn to formulate rational well-thought out arguments.
